    If PBF can take shots from Oscar at 154 and not get stopped he can take them from Zoo at 140.:deal No way does Zoo stop PBF he's hard top hit clean and has a great chin. He can't outbox PBF so he loses by UD.

    Pimp C - That version of DLH was rustier than the Titanic is today at the bottom of the Atlantic.

    That is the worst gauge for this ever.

    If Demarcus Corley rocked Mayweather at 140 - Going by your logic - Then He hits harder than DLH?

    I don't think so.

    Floyd leans back exposing his side - Tszyu is smart - He wouldn't wing loose right hands all night unless they were set up first and Tszyu was an underrated body puncher - Ask Diaboleys Hurtado.

    Actually, Gonzales who fought prime versions of De La Hoya and Tsyzu back to back said that Tszyu hit much harder than De La Hoya (Tszyu ko'd him in 10, De La Hoya won by decision)

    Talking prime Tszyu here, which I consider the guy that turned up for the Gonzales fight ... under-rated body puncher (whenever he went to the body he folded guys in half), never troubled by speed or elusive boxers, one of the best hooks off the jab you'd want to see and the famed right hand. Not to mention a damn solid chin as well.

    That said, we are talking P4P #1 Mayweather. This would never be an easy fight and I could see him jabbing and running. But he isn't going to KO tszyu, he isn't going to walk tszyu backwards and he does some of the things Tszyu loves ... stand still and let guys try to hit him.

    I think against one of the hardest hitting and most accurate boxers in 140 history ... I lean towards tszyu hurting him then finishing him off in the middle to later rounds. Judah, Corley and Mitchell all hit Mayweather cleanly at times ... Tszyu hits twice as hard as those guys and puts people out.

    The Hatton and Phillips fights are not relevant. We are talking prime Tszyu.

    IMO, Mayweather takes a UD 116-112 over KT. KT will have no answer to Floyds offence.

    Exactly! PBF's defense, accuracy and counter-punching will give Zoo fits. Zoo doesn't bring enough pressure to alter PBF's game so therefore we have a boxing contest or a chess match. Where with time PBF would slowly pick Zoo apart, outbox and out think him to a win. Zoo would be setting up all night looking to land his big shot while being fustrated by not finding the openings and getting countered and beaten to the punch. Betting that a fighter is going to lose by KO is foolish especially when the guy you're betting against is a defensive wizard, has never really been hurt or knocked down in a fight before. The clear choice in this fight is PBF by UD.

    The last thing to go is the punch.:good
    He was rocked but wasn't really hurt, dropped or stopped. Not to mention in that same round he knocked Corley down. Also you might want to add Corley caught PBF with a shot he didn't see because of his fast hands, with Zoo he wouldn't have that problem because his handspeed isn't as great.

    Beating a boxer more impressively is subjective. Zoo was a KO artist so of course he's going to have more KOs and finish opponents in a more "crowd pleasing style" It still doesnt make PBF's victory or style any less impressive. A 12 round boxing clinic can be equally as impressive as a 5th round KO.
    With that said Mitchell and Zab are his two best wins on his resume. Not a great resume IMO.

    :patsch :patsch :patsch urself:yep :yep :yep

    :good

    Floyd wanted 2 be a young lion facing an OLD LION on camera:hey
    Reason? KT could box his ass off. Did you ever watch the Tszyu and Forrest. Tell me that guy cant box. Say that ****?:lol: :lol: :lol: Then realize that Forrest brougt more offense than Floyd when you speak PRIME.
    Tszyu would give Floyd all he wanted and beat UNC up.:yikes

    Never said Zoo was a fluke I rank him 3rd behind Chavez in ATG at 140. I know he was the truth there I wish he would have gotten a chance to fight Hoya there or Mosley if he would have stopped at 140 instead of going up to 147 then his resume would be much better.

    That was in the AMs and has about as much relevance to what would happen in a pro boxing match as your Spaddy-PBF sparring vids do.:lol::good

    Perfectly BULL**** RESPONSE. The point of the example is that Tszyu can indeed box.

    Your BS means NADA:good

    Sadafora? Gee that was the PRO's and Spadafora had a belt Floyd thought he wanted:D

    You keep pimpin yo ass 4 Floyd:good Floyd didnt want it "YET" with Tszyu and said so. Suddenly decided Spat was a good idea in rehab, post shooting and Dorin.

    My 140 ATG is
    1.Pryor
    2.Chavez
    3.Zoo

    I rank Pryor #1 despite a weak resume because he's a great H2H fantasy fighter that I would pick over Chavez at 140 and Zoo.
