Where would Kostya Tszu rank in today's 140 pound division.

number 1 hands down

Crawford beat him just what Vince Phillips did to Kostya in 1997.

Any different opinions after Diaz fight?

He would be higher than Crawford unless Crawford beats him, most likely. I'm a big fan of Crawford and really hope he can become an ATG, but Tszu is a really underrated fighter, he was definitely a special fighter. He reminds me of a smaller ggg but faster.

King by KO of all the other champs.. Like he did in his day.

Dude you are the true coward. Young mfer scared to show up. You are a typical young pu$$y of this generation. You born from a b1tch whore muz zie mfer. Threatened to punish me for my forum posts Refused to describe yourself and no-showed You got emasculated Know your place from now on

I think he would be number 2 behind Crawford since Crawford is the better and more special fighter. He would be higher than Crawford unless Crawford beats him, most likely.

There are tons of great fighters who would beat Tszu if they both competed at 140lbs at the same time at their peak besides Pryor and Chavez. Floyd, Pacquiao, Sweet Pea, De La Hoya, Mosley, Duran, etc... I think Cotto had a good shot at beating him there too with the drain. Floyd and Delehoya maybe. I don't think Mosley, Duran, or Whitaker could handle Technician like KT. He is like a smaller version of triple g bit faster.

More spence not thurman. Thurman is an easy fight for kostya. Thurman is an outside fighter that needs space. He can't fight on the inside. You get koed fighting kostya from the outside. Just like zab who was much faster than thurman in his prime and still got caught. You need to come in the inside and rough him up like hatton. Thurman dosen't fight like that. Easy matchup for kostya. True but Thurman has better defense and chin compared to Judah. He is also a better counter puncher as well compared to Judah. But I agree Spence is a bad match up for KT compared to Thurman. I think this Porter could pull it off though.

Thurman and Spence are bad match ups for him. More spence not thurman. Thurman is an easy fight for kostya. Thurman is an outside fighter that needs space. He can't fight on the inside.

Typical teenager response. Obviously you never seen Kostyra tszyu fight. The guy was a legit first ballet HOFer who could box, brawl, and had iron in his fist. He would of make Crawford do the chicken dance. Old scared coward

that's a good fight It's basically Crawford vs Postol 2.0

that's a good fight

Judah back then would have smoked everyone that Crawford has fought easily. I think he underrate Crawford's competition and his tremendous boxing ability. Crawford is close to the most perfect fighter.

Lmao kostya #1 easily.

Nowadays we know that Judah had many weaknesses, mainly his head, but give him the same opponents that crawford had faced until now and he would still look like a million bucks. Maybe (!) Beltran could break him down in the later rounds, but everyone else Judah would have beat while looking pretty good. Based off the eye test you can see that Crawford has better defense, punching power, and ring IQ. Only thing Judah has over him is footwork and hand speed.

That Judah better than this Crawford?

Beltran could break him down in the later rounds, but everyone else Judah would have beat while looking pretty good.

Easily #1, Judah at that time was better than Crawford now, much faster, much more exciting and Tszyu koed him in 2 rounds. That Judah better than this Crawford?

Like lots of guys would, Vince Phillips beat him for crying out loud, Hector Lopez nearly beat him and he quit on his stool, good fighter but some of the stuff in here is just rubbish from fanyboys that think the grass is always greener back in time. If the internet was available then was like it is now you would not have all these legends because the fanboys of the day would chop them down with fanboy logic like they do to every elite fighter today, its much hard to to be truly recognized today than in years gone by. IDK. Thurman is pretty loved by the boxing community.
