Prime Kostya Tsyzu would have beaten Crawford

A couple things I've noticed about crawford. He is there to be hit and almost everyfight that he's had, he's gotten hit with his opponents best shots. Diaz even landed clean with his best shot several times. Gamboa landed clean several times and so did landy. Against Kostya, you get hit with his best shot and it's lights out and he will finish. See judah fight. Also, you cannot play the distance and thinking game with Kostya which crawford loves to do to his oppnents. Styles make fights and Kostya's style is all wrong for crawford.

It would definitely be a close fight! But if Ricky Hatton was able to shut out Tsyzu, I am fairly confident so could Crawford. And I am a huge Tsyzu fan. Two different styles. That's like me saying since Tito beat Oscar He could beat Hearns.

I think Crawford is all wrong for Tszyu style wise. But Tszyu has booty dew inducing power, so you can never count him out.

If Cool Vince was capable of beating Tsyzu then Crawford sure as hell is. Tsyzu wanted no parts of an immediate rematch with Phillips neither unlike other all time great champions that faced defeat.

Kostya has issues with swarmers and guys that maul you on the inside. Not crawford's style. He can't beat kostya on the outside. That's not the only style he had problems with. Vince Phillips wasn't a swarmer or an inside fighter and neither was Diobelys Hurtado.

Crawford would figured out Tszyu pretty quickly. Tszyu short reach wouldn't of helped either.

Kostya has issues with swarmers and guys that maul you on the inside. Not crawford's style. He can't beat kostya on the outside. He can and he would lol name one Kostya opp with the same reach

I don't hate anyone, but who has Crawford beaten? Postol was decent but not really a top fighter. He was on about the same level as Geale was for Golovkin. And Postol was inactive for many months before the fight. Crawford's opposition has otherwise been abysmal. I've been learning from all you GGG, Loma and Klitschko haters, using the same arguments to disparage your favorites, as you did to mine for years. say how you feel and stop hiding it in white

No no no.. and I watched almost every Kostya fight he would have a problem with the reach and patience, Crawford would decision him. Kostya has issues with swarmers and guys that maul you on the inside. Not crawford's style. He can't beat kostya on the outside.

Good fight, but yes, I do think tszyu's right hand would have found the mark and been the end of Crawford

Yes, Tszyu would have won. Crawford is fighting in a weak era for the 135-140 weight divisions. why are you on such a Crawford hate mission??

No, Kostya has a great chin and he is very accurate. Call me when Crawford beats someone. Did you just start watching boxing? What great chin? He was great at timing a long right hand and he was strong. Thats about it. Take away his range on the right and he'll quit or get knocked out. You do realize this is the guy who couldn't knockout an old shot to **** super chinny Roger Mayweather. Stop with the BS Crawford would embarrass him.
