Why not? Lots of good fights at 140 but not big money makers except Mayweather.
If you're Kostya, why not fight Stinks to be come undisputed welterweight champion?
Spinks can't punch, has a suspect chin as show in the Judah fight and isn't the defensive wizard people keep calling him. Kostya fights lefties well and would land his left hook and right hand all night vs. Stinks.
Kostya says he doesn't want to fight much longer anyway. Even if he were to lose to Stinks, it' snot like he'd take a career ending beating from him anyway. Stinks cant punch.
I think Kostya KOs Stinks in less than 10 rounds. He's physically stronger and hits harder and knows how to cut off the ring. Stinks couldn't avoid the punches of 50 year old Gonzalez in his last fight. he'd be toast
Thoughts?
KT fights in what most say is the best division in the sport. Zab Judah was supposed to beat the one dimensional KT and was ko'd quickly. Mitchel the guy in the division that is supposed to be the hardest to figure out now has been ko'd by KT twice. I really believe that he would now ko Floyd or Spinks...I know he would Ko spinks, and as slick willy says 140/147 undisputed champion, if he does that you could make a case that he is the number 1 fighter in the world p4p.
Mayorga landed a few of his wild shots at Spinks and Kostya is way more accurate with his punches, he knows how to cut the ring off and has a good experience fighting southpaws. I reckon KT eventually tags Cory with his precision punches, something like which hit those slick boxers.
I would say Tzyu beats Spinx for sure after seeing him tonite. Its great to see Tzyu still fighting like a mad man. I was afraid that 2 years off would be a bad thing for him but appearently it wasnt. Mayweather-Tzyu might be the best fight out there though. Thats a fight I'd wanna see.

for once I agree with you. Kostya would KO spinks and could retire as the muthafu**in man.
hell yeah i am with you...kt can beat anyone at 140..he has nothin to prove i say go up..the hardest fight for KT ..and there is only on..would be margarito...aww but margarito vs kosta...thats what dreams are made out of
ps:no one dare say cintron...he would get owned by KT
Margarito is garbage. I always thought he was garbage. His fight with Santos proved what I believed all along. He has horrible skill and he's slow. Good puncher but not anything special. Cintron? Sloppy and wings punches. But he's physically a monster. Kostya doesnt have to mind those guys they not champion. Cory is the top No. 1 guy he's undisputed. Might as well take the risk
hmmm, I dunno. Spinks still beat Mayorga so I wouldn't count him out.
He barely beat Mayorga. Mayo is sloppy. See those striaght punches that Kostya throws? They'd get to Spinks often.
I don't think Kostya's big into furthering his legacy. He just wants a couple of BIG fights. Spinks isn't any bigger than a couple he can get at 140
True. I agree. Money isn't that much different. In terms of history though he'd be the undisputed champ at 140 and 147. That's pretty impressive in today's era of split titles.
