Kostya Tszyu says he can no longer make junior welter. "If I do fight again it would be as a welterweight," Tszyu told Australian boxing writer Grantlee Kieza, "maybe against the winner of Sunday's fight between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah. I don't think it would be easy or wise for me to fight at junior welterweight again."
Looks like another top name will be thrown into the hat of Welterweights. Tszyu vs Mayweather sounds interesting provided of course Tszyu is 100%.
& remember that zoos corner pulled him out, he wos winnin the fight
Not even close. He was down on all 3 cards and the only chance he had was to knock Hatton out in the 12th.
I don't think Tszyu can be competitive with Mayweather, to be honest with you. To put it into perspective, Gatti was faster than Tszyu. I think Tszyu's age, injuries, and lack of a consistent busy schedule have really paralyzed his career. And after watching him quit on his stool after the 11th round against Hatton, you gotta really wonder how he's gonna bounce back. I really question his hunger and desire, especially after relinquishing his title after all these years of being a champion. Could you imagine Jones or Hopkins fighting eliminators? Me neither.
Zoo is the only guy out there capable of livin with PBF when it comes 2 boxin, i read that Zoo has never been outboxed in his life- amatuer, gym, pro,
i think if Zoo fought Hatton in US next yr, Zoo will take him 2 school & knock him out
Hatton got lucky- home crowd, Zoo rusty, time zone, wrestlin, shit ref, low blow. fair & square, in say Las Vegas or Oz, Zoo takes Hatton 2 the cleaners ! even now !

better man on the night thats all, if hatton tried 2 box zoo he would'nt of stood a chance
And if my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.
If Mayweather hadnt boxed JLC he would have lost. If Mayweather hadnt boxed Gatti he wouldnt have had it so easy. If Ali hadnt done the rope a dope he wouldnt have beaten Foreman. etc etc

He's not worthy to get a shot at the crown after a long layoff and loss. He would need to prove himself by fighting the loser of Saturday's fight and fight Gatti or Baldomir. Then maybe he can make an argument.Tszyu was P4P top 3 and ruled the 140 lb division for 10 years..
WTF are you talking about?

He dosn't need to prove himself hes fricken Kostya Tzsyu.
Not after he quit with only one round left to fight. That was disgusting.
Joe Frazier, anyone? One round can mean the difference between living and dying, being able bodied and fighting another day and spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair.
I think PBF would school Zoo at this point.I really wanted to see Zoo/Hatton II for a while but the luster of that has since worn off.I think he should probably just retire or maybe fight Gatti or Baldy for a title before retiring. :boxing:
If he fights the winner of Gatti - Baldy he will be fighting for the UNDISPUTED WORLD TITLE not just a 'Title'. Baldy is the world champ at 147 and will remain that until he loses or retires. It doesnt matter if Mayweather makes mince meat of Zab, he will still just be a contender at 147, just like he was at 140. If he beats Zab he should target either Hatton or the winner of Gatti/Baldy

tszyu cant beat judah now...and he cant beat mayweather..tszyu although a solid fighter..is a fighter of circumstance!!...he was lucky that mosley didnt go to 140..or de la hoya didnt stay @ 140 long or trinidad
Mayweather would stop Tszyu quicker than Hatton made him quit
I dont think so because Mayweather isnt aggressive and only comes forward with an open opportunity. Hatton forced Tszyu to open up and fight Mayweather wouldnt and would probably score a decision.
