TSZYU vs MAYWEATHER

so? what is your point? tszyu also got koed by vince phillips. how many of you think mayweather would get koed by phillips. just becasue tszyu looked better vs. judah dosent mean he automatically beats mayweather. and its alot more likely of koysta tszyu beating mayweather by decision. mayweather dosent take enough chances to get koed and he has taken shots when has had to. took some shots in his last vs. a guy a whole wieght division bigger then him.

 

I doubt Floyd would even attempt to throw more than 30 punches a round against a dangerous opponent like Tszyu for fear of getting countered. Tszyu is a very underrated boxer and had exceptional accuracy. He's never been outboxed in any of his fights. His losses came from trying to out-brawl the brawlers instead of boxing them. PBF would no doubt move in and out attempting to pot-shot while Kostya stalks him to land the big right.

 

It's too easy to say this is a cut and dry boxer vs. puncher matchup, but Tszyu was far from a one dimensional slugger. His amateur record speaks for itself and is a testament to how well schooled he is.

That being said, Mayweather hasn't done anything to show me he would beat Tszyu.

Running won't work - Tszyu cuts off the ring too well.
Boxing and/or Potshotting won't work - Tszyu's timing was uncanny against speedy fighters.
Trading definitely won't work.

Tszyu's achilles heel was elite high pressure fighters. That's not Floyd's game. Styles make fights, and I would comfortably pick Tszyu to take this one.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself :good

 

Floyd by easy UD.

Tszyu is grossly overrated in this forum.

And all this talk about Floyd potshotting only and always running is totally unfounded.

 

i gotta go with Mayweather in that 2 rounds before Zab got spanked, he was out speeding Tszyu. i think Mayweather could well do the same 9hed have to get on his bike) and i also feel Mayweather is more of a defensive wizard tha. judah and wouldbt get caught by something too serious.

floyd on pts.

 

KT' is overated imo

mayweather close decision fighting the best 140lber 3divisions above were he started

 

I think Tszyu takes this one.

Bad style for Mayweather as seen in his fight with castillo. Tszyu punches harder and more accurately.

I can't recall Tszyu being outboxed by any of his opponents but, the only 2 times we couldn't beat the count were against pressure fighters in Phillips and Hatton. Mayweather is more of a boxer than a pressure fighter.

If I can remember correctly, Mayweather's team didn't want to fight Tszyu earlier in his career as they thought Mayweather was not ready. This suggests that Mayweather team did not have the confidence to beat Tszyu.

The Tszyu who beat Judah was slower than the Tszyu who fought Rodriguez, Hurdato, Gonzalez, and the like.

 

Zab won the first round and was clearly losing the second before lights out zab.

 

Just as in the other thread about Tszyu Mosley... anything could happen in this fight. It could go either way... Mayweather would have to work slightly harder trying to avoid Tszyu though. No doubt Floyd could do it if he was at his best, but NEVER write off the chances of Tszyu connecting accurately and often if he is allowed to fight from a distance.

 

if not for Judah's notoriously bad stamina he would have had a good chance at beating Floyd. In those first rounds it was even or maybe even a little lead to Judah. However, when Judah was the strongest ( in the first half) he got KTFO by Kostya.

I think it would end with Kostya KO 7 out of 10 fights.

 

Prime for prime this would have been a true 50/50 fight. I'd put my money on Tszyu, but this would be a toss-up to me.

Floyd could box Tszyu to a close decision, Tszyu could box Floyd to a close decision, or Tszyu could knock Floyd out.

Out of ten, I'd say they win 5 each, but KT is the only one who would be getting a knockout in this matchup.

 

Didn't Tszyu brutalize Unca Roger? I would make this an even fight Prime for Prime.

 

Tszyu is not the one overrated on this forum. You need to look at the guy in your avatar for that answer.

:good A guy who says he's the best EVER, but doesn't go after the tough fights....

 

People are forgetting that PBF at 140 is a whole different fighter than the one at 147 or 154. He could stand in the pocket with, stick and move or whatever he choose to do against Zoo, he had good pop there as well. Zoo is very overrated here on ESB and PBF is better than him in every department except power. PBF by UD he's too much of a complete fighter at 140 for Zoo to deal with.:deal
