That answers that, huh?
You'd have to think Tszyu beats anyone at 140 or under if he can perform like that consistently. I thought he'd win by KO, but I didn't expect utter domination. That was like a man fighting a boy.
Good win, Kostya.
Tszyu is the King. there is no way in hell wayweather could handle Tszyus power. Tszyu would eventually land 1 good punch and that is all he would need.
Tszyu beats Floyd to a pulp...he's too small to hurt KT and if Corley can rock him, I guarantee you KT will floor him. All these Floyd fans are just like the Tito fans before he fought X. That peekaboo defense ain't gonna cut it against KT, it's that simple. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Floyd fan, but I think the size and power advantage is just too much to overcome.
Tzsyu is the top dog until somebody takes him down. Cotto needs to earn a shot at him by fighting a higher calibre. Cotto has bags of talent but needs to prove himself. Cotto V Hatton would be a good fight to sort out the pecking order to line up a shot at the champ. Tzsyu can take care of Harris while he wait.
I'm a Gatti fan but think he's a car crash waiting to happen. The moment he gets in with a top-tier opponent he loses. The networks won't allow that fight to happen anyway so lets stop dreaming.
Heh....I'll take that as a no. Anyway as for your previous post, I don't think Floyd will go in and stand toe to toe with Tszyu like he did with Corley. I know he will be smart enough to respect his power. I also think that Floyd's will play a big part in making it very tough for Tszyu to land any clean shots.
Alright and my answer is yes.
You can address my previous post first, then I will answer your question.

I'd say Tszyu is definitely the best at 140 atm until beaten (which is gonna be extremely hard) But i would like to see PBF/Mitchell/Hatton/Gatti/Harris/Cotto/Kostya etc to fight each other so we could actually determine who is the best and who the worst without judging the level of their previous opponents i.e Hatton + Cotto.
I'm looking forward to some big fights in this division!
Tszu is the king of welter!
Sorry bout that but Mayweather would kick KT ass.Kt lacks mobility and hes not Mitchell or Judah . By the way Zab Lost by being foolish and dropping his hands.
Hey Jabs,
I have to agree. Lots of fighters can look great against people they are supposed to look great against.
One thing also, Floyd is 10 lbs heavier than his master performance against Chico. With Tszyu's relentless pressure, carrying this extra weight may slow Floyd down late. I think this is the 140 fight of the year waiting to happen.
floyd is tszyu's biggest threat, but you'd have to favor the bigger, stronger tszyu at this point.... flouyd would have to fight a "perfect" fight like he did agianst corrales to beat tszyu...
Cotto's beating fighters like Pinto, Sosa, N'Dou...hasn't shown me that he's ready for Kostya Tszyu.
Tszyu looked like a machine the other night...completely uneffected by time off, & Father Time.
Cotto has faced NOBODY even remotely as good as Kostya Tszyu.
As brilliant as Floyd Mayweather is....he hasn't shown enough at 140 to lead me to make him a favorite over Tszyu.
Tszyu Vs Mayweather
Zab Judah and Sharmba Mitchell were both top class boxers. Both move around the ring alot and were very quick with their hands.
But Tszyu still demolished them.
Mayweather fights similar to Zab and Sharmba, plus Mayweather is also fighting up a weight.
I pick Tszyu to win by KO.
Tsyzu best option would be to move up and fight Cory spinks.
Moving up weight, he would need to increase his power to dominate bigger men. It would be more challenging for Tsyzu.
I read that he was planning to fight Cory spinks, before the Sharmba fight. But a deal could not be reach.
Mayweather-Tszyu would be the best match up in the divsion and would show with out a doubt who would be king at welter. Gatti has a big name but there is no way Gatti beats Kostya going blow for blow he will lose. Mayweather has shown a tendancy to exchange punches during his last few fights and has been stunned a couple of times. If Tszyu catches him with one he can definatly be hurt. Mayweather can be a very defensive fighter when he wants to be but doesn't have the "Sweet Pea" Whitaker unbreakable defense. It has holes that Kostya could expliot. Would be a good fight if it takes place I just think that Kostya would get a UD or late TKO in this fight.
since kostya became undisputed there has been the emergence of cotto and harris.
floyds also stepped up,
hattons been knocking on the door for a while.
gatti looks better than ever,
tszyu is no1 but in a division so deep with talent people are always gonna argue over who is the best untill they all fight each other.
i just wish every division was like l/welter.

I hate Pretty more than anyone, but I think he'd be the best test for Tszyu. I think we'll more likely see Hatton vs. Tszyu though because Hatton will bring huge European TV revenues for the fight, whereas Mayweather is mostly only known stateside. I think the Hatton-Tszyu would be better for action, although I just think Tszyu brings too much. Mayweather-Tszyu would be more technical, and even though I hate Pretty Boy, I'd say the odds are slightly in his favor should he move around the ring. If anyone sub-147 engages Tszyu, harris no chance they will fall.

KT is a perfect fighter he has great power he times all of his right hand hits which we saw last nite that ko'ed mitchell ...all im saying is that if mitchell cant beat a man that had one week of training what makes you think that he could beat someone like KT thats why mitchell was ko'ed in the 3rd round KT is in amother level. mitchell is a joke people give him more credit then what he really deserves
I would Tszyu rate No. 1 at the moment, but this devision is VERY interesting right now! I think Gatti would lose because of his poor defense, but I´d love to see that fight. Mayweather of course has a very good chance of beating Kostya. Cotto and Harris should also be very competitive. Great division :) !
