Who would win and why??

Tszyu's always done well against boxers with speed but can he beat the very best??

I'm picking Tszyu, he's still a great fighter and the Hatton loss was a lot to do with styles, there's no way Mayweather could bully Tszyu so it would be a totally different peformance. I also think that a shot Gatti made Mayweather look stronger at 140 than he really is.

It would be a very good fight though.

I'd go with Tszyu by KO... It would be similar to the Tszyu vs Judah fight, only I think this one would last longer!

But Tszyu would catch up with Mayweather and land that BIG shot.

I think Tzyu has a good style to beat Mayweather, and also Mayweather's chin has never really been tested which is a testament to his excellent defence but I could definitely see him getting caught flush on the jaw with quick right hand in this one and I have a feeling he would not react so well to one of those shots, nobody really does. Tzyu has alwasy done well against slick boxers when you look at it but Mayweather WOULD be teh slickest and best boxer he ever faced by a wide margin.

OF course I must admit I also picked Gatti to beat Mayweather and bet practically all my points on it. But that is me, Mr Potatoehead.

Another Gatti repeat. Floyd by late stoppage either on cuts or brain damage. Pressure is not the only way to beat Tszyu.

Zoo. He would have learnt and anaylised his defeat to Hatton. I would expect him to come stronger and angrier.

I think Mayweather would win quite comfortably via wide UD. Though with Tszyu there is always the chance of hi landing a bomb and taking down Mayweather.

I like Tszyu's style, he just needs Floyd to do his legendary back up to the ropes under no pressure trick and Tszyu takes him out.

Mayweather is quick though, his footwork coupled with a solid game plan(which includes a "stay of the ropes" strategy) could be enough to beat Tszyu, but he'd have to bring his A-game because every fighter who's tried to box Tszyu has been butchered.

There's nothing to prove that pressure isnt the only way, powerful pressure fighters Hatton and Phillips are the only people to beat him.

I think Mayweather would win. Tszyu caught Zab with a wonderful punch but up until that point he was taking a whipping. Floyd would not get caught by a punch like that although I would LOVE to see it.

Judah won the first round, Tszyu was winning the second round, if the punch hadnt of landed the fight would have been even on points and Tszyu's a slow starter.

PBF by UD. I got fooled once, I ain't gonna let it happen again. I don't think Zoo can keep up with PBF. IMO Zoo's on his way down and out, PBF's a MF comet!

tszyu is a basic fighter..all he does is try to load up the right hand all night long..a smart fighter like mayweather would pick him apart...if mosley de la hoya had fought at 140..tszyu wouldnt be known!

I don't think Mayweather would KO him. Mayweather would be on his bike and win every round. He won't hit Mayweather with the straight right..trust me.

Judah got caught because he was unfocused and ****ing around, when Judah was anywhere near focused and being mobile, Tszyu couldnt catch up, Tszyu has about as much chance of catching Mayweather like that as Gatti did. It wouldnt be similar, and even if Tszyu faced Judah today, who knows what the result would be.

I suppose there a "chance" that floyd could lose, but i really cant see it happening. I just cant imagine pretty boy being knocked out>
down-maybe, but floyd would win on points or late tko

I'd pick the Tszyu that beat Mitchell in the second fight to KO mayweather, however, I think Tszyu is past it now.

If the fight takes place now Tszyu would win. All Mayweather fans are going off the Gatti fight which isn't the best measuring stick between these two fighters. Tszyu is in the same class as Mayweather, Gatti was not. Mayweather will not fight Tszyu now that he doesn't have a belt and will try to move out of the weight class before facing him.

Tsyzu would win by KO. Mayweather would stand off him and win rounds, but eventually Tsyzu would catch up to him with that big right hand

Id have to go for kostya for a late stoppage,i only hope kostya does continue as i believe the loss to hatton was much about different styles.also ,many had kostya right up there p4p prior to the hatton fight and now he is regarded by some as slightly past it,which i dont agree with.I think if he does carry on then a mayweather-tszyu meeting may happen and would catapult kt right back up there if imo he did be victorious.

Most of the people that are picking Tszyu are bunch of Hatton lovers. :luvbed:

Its getting old now, everyone likes a certain fighter, but not everyone bases their whole view on boxing around one fighter. I dont see the problem with thinking both Hatton and Tszyu are good fighters??

I have been wanting too see this fight for a long time.Tszyu is a different animal from Gatti.I hope Gayweather doesnt move up to 147.

Yeah, the same thing people said about Judah.People are getting high after the Gatti fight.I think it would be a great fight.People dont give Tszyu credit for landing punches.I can just imagine what a good right would do to Gayweather.

Tszyu looked terrible is his last fight...Floyd is too quick to get hit by KT. Anything is possible though...

Quitter?? Tszyu's a warrior, sending him out when he was that beaten up would have been sick. Tszyu would beat Mayweather, it wouldnt be like the Gatti fight because Tszyu's a genuine world class fighter.

oh my goodness..

What does Tszyu have besides that powerful right hand?

And please don't tell me that cutting off the ring bull****..and if you are going to use that one, tell me what fights did he cut the ring off so well in?

I honestly see nothing special about Tszyu.

Mayweatha would beat Tszyu right now. Eazy!

if it was Tszyu's prime then it would be different. Mayweatha by stoppage late.

Didnt look like Tszyu was letting Sharmba Mitchell get too far.

I agree Mayweather has way too much for Tszyu. If KT doesn't land a big shot he will just be another Gatti for Mayweather.

You have a point, and if you trade with Tszyu and you don't have that great of a punch yourself, you're going to get KTFO. The thing is Mayweather wouldn't trade him. Hell, Mitchell wouldn't have traded with him, but the Mitchell we saw that night was a weight drained Mitchell who didn't have the legs to dance his way to a decision so he played Russian Roulette.

Mayweather would be extremely tight defensivley if he faught KT. Hes to quick and alusive.
