who would win mayweather v a prime kostya tszyu at 140lb???

He wouldnt fight him either

So no pick matters.

Watch Tszyu in the amteurs vs Forrest. Yes, KT has a very good shot at outboxing Floyd:yep His problem was pressure a la Phillips and Hatton.
Styles make fights.

 

Kosta Tszyu in his prime dismantles then K.O.'s a "Pot shot" artist like Floyd.

 

It's 'you're' not 'your'.

 

I wonder what Roger would say to that...
who lost to prime Tszyu but fought a very cowardly and ugly fight against hi,



Andrey

 

Tszyu was great at beating guys with speed. Would have been a great fight thats for sure.

 

I take it you don't know too much about PBF.:good At 140 he was a much different fighter than he is now. He was faster and threw more punches and combos.:deal
What you also fail to realize is that you need more than just one big punch to beat PBF with. Just like Oscar thought his left hook would land and he would put PBF to sleep but guess what it never landed. Zoo would be no different while he waited for his big punch PBF would be wining rounds in the process. PBF has an underrated chin and wouldn't be stopped by Zoo period. So you have only one option in this poll and it's PBF by UD. Zoo isn't going to outbox PBF for 12 rounds and he'll find hitting and putting PBF down a very difficult proposition. PBF isn't Zab nor is he Mitchell he's much more complete than those two.

i'd say ricky hatton beat him relying alot on speed.

this would have been a **** hot fight, i'd have to say mayweather in the toughest fight of his career .

 

I see a prime KT catching Fraud with a power-shot and finishing off via TKO.

 

great fight.

 

prime tszyu had an uncanny ability to fight slick fast boxers

i think he may have been the guy to beat mayweather if they ever fought

 

The same Zoo who Ricky made quit is going to catch a guy whose never been really hurt or knocked down in a fight with a huge shot and finish him off? Yeah right.:rofl

 

The KT that fought Hatton was so far past his prime it is scary to think that he hadnt noticed his own decline.

Kostya is a far superior boxer/fighter to Hatton but he got beat by a younger hungrier guy. It happens-day by day fighters age like the rest of us. I like Hatton for that reason - he just wouldnt give it up.

Anyone using the "he quit against Hatton"arguement is clearly proving their ignorance.

Read the thread title. Prime Tszyu is all kinds of scary for slick fighters because he always managed to get to them. In a hundred fights i think Mayweather splits it 55/45. I think Tszyu in his prime was a beast as well as a brain, but Mayweather is just that good.

I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate Mayweather and he IS everything that is wrong with boxing hahahahaha - just in case any thought this was a disguised nuthug

 

No, that was not a "prime" KT.

Fraud has been hurt, Corley and has been KD'd . . .Zab - even though the ref didnt see it.

 

Mayweather fans are obviously unable to work out what "prime" means and also unable to understand that styles make fights.

I have read at least 40% of the Mayweather fans posting here use the "Hatton would have been stopped/beaten by Tszyu if there was a different ref/in another city etc etc"

Now the same people are saying Tszyu's "quite" job in England is what to base how this fight would turn out.

For me - Imagine Chavez Taylor only more brutal and less controversial.

The blue print that Tyszu used beat Roger the hell up, in which Roger ran like a ***** for 5 rounds to get a decision - A fight that still haunts Roger and I think that Roger always wanted Tszyu more than Floyd did.

Mayweather has constructed a better pro career with exceptional management and by no means would I think it would be an easy fight for Tszyu - It would be hell.

But you all look at Floyd's skills and forget that Tszyu was a LEGENDARY amateur while Floyd was an underachiever.

Tszyu, too much substance, too much class and too much power for Pretty Boy at 140 in a Prime V Prime.
