Koysta vs Floyd

DLT21y ago

Im a Mayweather fan but I also like Zoo, and thinks he should be favored in the fight. That is the main reason why I want Floyd to take the fight. The problem I have is I dont mind people saying the Zoo would win, and I dont mind people saying that Zoo would win by KO, but the people who thinks that Zoo will just run straight through Floyd are crazy. Every time someone has a big win we do this. The same way they did Tito when he beat Mayorga. They were talking about how accurate he was but failed to mention that Mayorga has the worst defense in boxing. He had his hands tucked together underneath his chin. It's almost like he was pushing his head up so Tito could hit him. People like to compare Floyd to Zab and Mitchell but fail to remember that Floyd isnt a lefty. Zoo's best punch is the straight right hand, and the easiest punch for Floyd to stop is the right hand. Just stand up right now in the Mayweather stance and pretend Zoo is swinging at you. Floyd can see that punch from a mile away. He would never hit Floyd, and if he does, just pretend that you are Floyd again and role your shoulder. It will take almost all the sting off the punch, and no way can he get in that sneaky left when Floyd has his right hand covering up like a earmuff. I told everyone that Chop would hurt Floyd more than anyone because he was lefty. He had perfect defense sometimes and he still got hit. Thats why he was stunned. Not because of the power

good points guru. there are boxing site commentors that are pointing out that mayweather has not proven he's brought his power with him at the higher weight. look at the chop chop match. zoo is proven at 142. and he can take a punch. zab didnt take his power with him. very few boxers have. tito is one of the few who has. i've read somewhere that if zoo/mayweather go at it in the spring that it will be at 147. anyone else hear that? How can you say he didnt bring his power when he dropped Chop twice. You act like Chop's a punching bag or something. He's never been KO. I guess Zoo doesnt have any power since he couldnt KO Tackie

Kostya Tszyu by KO 9-10.

I doubt Tszyu looked at it that way. Maybe you're getting in too deep. I think he just took the opportunity. But then again you can see anything when you try to see it.. Thats kind of a cop out. I gave you a valid example. Its not looking to deep, its apparent just by watching the fight. You got your example, you had no reply.

floyd better have his boxing game for twelve rounds, I hope he gets revenge for his faded uncle when Tszyu fought him10 years ago. Kostya by late TKO. I know floyd has fantastic defense, but that duck and roll isnt going to work as well on such and accurate power puncher like Tszyu. It would be a ridiculous fight. and by ridiculous, i mean epic.

I'd say floyd would win based on boxing skills and speed but tszyu has a very good chance if floyd performs the way he did against corley, tszyu may knock him out

No one answered my question from three pages ago...I want a Tszyu fan who feels he knows his stuff to answer it.. The thing is, do you think Tszyu will have to cut the ring off to get to Floyd? I don't think so - I don't think Floyd will be running all night. He'll be there, sitting right there in the pocket. I think the big questions are whether Tszyu can really hit him when he's sitting there, and how effectively Floyd will counter.

This world is scarry when I'm agreeing with Jack here. I don't recall seeing any fight where Zoo cut the ring off. He even followed Zab around the ring in the second round. Actually, that is a good example of ring generalship. Maybe not truely cutting the ring off, but getting a guy to backpedal. Jab was trying to come forward by moving side to side and popping in the first round and he did it effectively. The second round KT made adjustments in his footwork and wasn't allowing Jab much room for lateral movement, Zab's only choice was to go backwards....not good against a guy with a good overhand right. KT was following Zab yes, but Zab was doing exactly what KT wanted him to do. Cutting the ring truley in the sense of cornering someone....no. Getting your oppponent to move they way you want them to........yes.

Does anyone know how much longer KT's contract is with Showtime. If that ran up, then he'd have easy access to Gatti and Mayweather, otherwise he is losing out on two of the biggest names in boxing. He has 2 more fights

I'm not sure if KT will fight Harris until he has a name in the game. KT specifically said big name opponents, and Harris isn't that yet. He has the potential, but no one outside the boxing world knows anything about him, and that won't deliver KT what he wants.

Thanks. I thought I was the only person to think Harris would be a tough opponent for KT. Harris is tall and rangey and likes to throw the right straight down the pipe. Whereas KT likes to loop his right at a downward angle....kinda overhandish...hard to do to a guy who is alot taller. This is very tough fight for KT. KT vrs Mayweather is hard to pick. Slickness versus power. I think KT has the right combination of power and boxing ability to win. You can't fight Mayweather thinking that your gonna outbox him....you won't. You have to have the whole package and be willing to adjust during the fight. KT can do that. I like Harris too, and we all know about his offense, but he is skinny and something just tell's me that he wouldnt hold up to Zoo's punishment. Sometimes I think Zoo would break him in half with those body shots, but who knows

zoo can deal with speed and just about anything else.... he's only lost once and phillips did not beat zoo by outboxing or outspeeding him.... i think harris becuase of his size might be tsyzu's toughest fight Thanks.

He didnt hurt them?, u kidding. Let see! * Kostya skooled Tackie, Hit him about a million times. He didnt want to KO him, because he was having a sparring session with the guy. * Urkal, broke his jaw. He didnt get KO, but I bet he was hurt. * Leija, broke his ear drum. * Made Zab do the chicken dance. * KTFO of Sharmba (big mouth) Mitchell 50 times. U really are underestimating Kostya power at this stage of his career. I'm not underestimating his power. In fact if you look at the Zoo-Mayorga thread you will see that I picked Zoo. I think you are underestimating Floyd's defense, chin, and just overall skills. This guy is a #for# undefeated fighter. It will not be easy for him. No way, No how. Read post #1
