Zab vs Kostya is an example of the winner of the fight not being the better fighter.

Zab was never better than Tszyu

 

I wouldn't say he was much worse, though, either.

KT just had the measure of him on the night (or would've beaten him a majority of times anyway due to styles) but he wasn't in a different league.

 

Well, he was whooping tzyu's azz until tzuy connected that punch. He was outboxing him EASILY.

 

You've been on a bull**** run lately.

 

Hey, long time since the last time I saw this fight. Maybe I have to re-watch it, but what I remember is this. I remember judah outboxing tzyu and getting connected by a hard punch. Then insta-getting up and being stopped because of his world-famous dance. I remember thinking that if judah had taken the count to 8 on the floor he would have won that fight because he was good enough to outbox tzyu all night long and could afford to lose one or two points and still win easily. That's what I remember, maybe time has distorted my memories or I don't know, long time since the last time I watched that fight. But i'm sure that I didnt think "whow, tzyu is much better than judah", 100% sure I never thought that.

 

Some are certain but I cannot used the term definite in good conscience. Certainly is plausible though.

 

:shock:

 

You might as well be - or else Gilfoiditis is catching.

 

Tyszu one of the most underrated of all time imo. Better than golvokin. Would always beat judah. Struggle to begin with his speed but would have adjusted everytime. Outside of castillo who was a great fighter. I honestly think would have been mayweathers hardest fight. I d take tyszu to catch him eventually as much as he would have been outboxed. Tyszu massively underrated since the hatton defeat. Where hatton was a nitemare for any older fighter when he was coming through. Hattons engine was tremendous at that point. Out of all the opponents mayweather had....tyzsu would have beat him. The only one in about twenty years that would.

 

Some of you have not even seen the fight.....Zab came out strong and stung Zoo a couple of times but right before the bell Zoo hit him with aright and Zab was already hurt, his expression said it all. For round two he boxed way more carefully because of the right he ate before the bell but Zoo timed him and that was all it took. Even if Zab would have beat the count he would have been menatlly done aka fold tent, he would have either run to survive a la against Baldo or the most likely outcome Zoo wwould have found anothet home for the right and puts Zab to sleep. Zab never had the chin to deal with that kind of straight right. Fact.

 

That's the spirit, Scott!
