    Prime Tszyu was fast, power puncher, and has great skills...

    I wonder if this match ever took place, would he had a chance to beat Floyd?

    Floyd is very fast and defensive genius, but, Kostya was very accurate and did cut the ring very very well.

    I saw his fight vs Forrest (RIP) and Kostya was so fast too.

    Good match up..

    i would favor PBF.. but, would not count Kostya out.

    What say you...

    Heathens... :fire

    Tszyu certainly didn't seem to think so.

    Nope.

    He would have been knocked out in 5 rounds.

    He sure would have better chance than canelo, guerero , ortiz, maidana or khan, floyd would be favorite to outbox him, but kostya had that KO power ,so you never know

    But Floyd obviously thought he might that's why he avoided him like the other legitimate opponents:scaredas:

    I heard Mayweather call out Tszyu on numerous occassions. I never heard Tszyu say that he wanted to fight Mayweather. Tszyu was always complimentary towards Mayweather as a fighter, though.

    Prob not but he'd stand a better chance and be a more exciting fight then 95% of Floyd's fights at 140 or above ... He'd of made Kostya wear pillows, in Vegas... His ring size and be at 147 though

    Possibly - maybe?

    We will never know because floyd ducked him really. He went around him rather than for him.

    In terms of styles Tszyu has lost to guys that have applied pressure while the slick boxers like Mitchell and Judah he has been able to time and destroy. Because of this I think Tszyu would give Mayweather a tougher fight than some would expect but Mayweather is better than Mitchell and Judah. Mayweather wins on points.

    Ex profighters do put Tszyu vere hight. They know what they talk about. Tszyus footwork was from another world. Judah and Mitchell just could not dance away.
