It took Kostya Tszyu so long to heal from his injuries after his '03 win over Leija, he took a one and a half year off.
When Floyd Mayweather started to campaign at 140 in 2004, his first choice of an opponent was Spady (Spadafora who is 45-0-1 to this day) and then opted for DeMarcus Corley when Paul was unavailable.
If Tszyu was ready to fight on, a Mayweather-Tszyu is possible and a helluva match-up, I recall Kostya had his issues with Sharmba Mitchell in their first fight and knock him out impressively in late '04 which was his last win.
From the Gatti fight and after, Floyd is gonna win over Tszyu but if their fight has taken place before the Mitchell rematch, Kostya is even bet.
It will be interesting if Mayweather can dominate Tszyu for 12 rounds, something that's hard to do, Kostya also throws less punches but with accuracy and perfect timing as Floyd is, and has power in both hands.
