thats exactly why i commented in it. one of floyds best qualitys as a fighter is making subtle adjustments throughout the fight. he'd be able to neutralize kostya's right hand and and use his defense to create offense. at 140 i think he'd be able to win this fight via UD and maybe even a late round tko. there both great fighters, i just think mayweather a lil better.
good reply :)
but watch some more tszyu. much, much, much, much, much more of a fighter than that right hand.
ain't no no slick boxer that ever troubled kostya
Only in your dreams.
Nobody forced him to hide-behind showtime...if that's the excuse you're going to use.
Kostya never DARED TO BE GREAT.
He never tried to avenge his brutal loss against Phillips....he just ACCEPTED that ass-whipping.
you heard it here first folks. the russian peasant that became a multi-millionaire never dared to be great.
the man that compiled an amateur record of 259-11 never dared to be great.
the man that won a world title in his fourteenth fight was a BUM :blowjob:
I'm a Tszyu fan....He couldn't even get past Vince Phillips...
Mayweather would too much for him.
Kostya liked to lean straight-back and was a sucker for fight hands.
PLUS..
He SQUARED-UP too wide...
Floyd would break him down with jabs to the solar-plexis.
you're right. tszyu was rot. that's why sharmba mitchell was an unbackable favourite before their second fight.
Only in your dreams.

best post. can't believe you're in the red :dead1:
He never tried to make the big fights.
He never dared to be great.
He didn't even try to enter the Oscar sweepstakes...much less avenge his loss to Cool Vince.
thanks for making me look so good tonight, retard ;)
I saw the fight...You go suck a diick...biitch.
Nobody needs google to know Cool Vince stomped the living shiit outta' Shiit-Zoo.
was kostya in a legal battle and not training because his promoter was trying to take his money?
was that on boxrec?
8=================D <---- there you go. treat it nice.
If Hatton could confuse and beat Tszyu then Mayweather is a mile ahead.
remember how tszyu found out that he was fighthing hatton through the media because one of his broke-ass associates negotiated the fight behind his back?
haha course you dont. :peeright:
Don't forget that Oscar is the bigger man, so more than likely Oscar will enter at fifth or sixth, Mayweather will drop to third or fourth.
i was thinking floyd would stay more 2-3 because he is so much smaller and oscar would come in at 8-9 because usually it's based on a string of fights more than a one off
I saw a video on youtube where big Bob Sapp called out Iron Mike Tyson. Tyson stepped into the ring and told him if it's Queensbury rules he'll fight him that same night (Witha big grin on his face) He laso told Sapp to sign the contract if he wants to get it on!
I like and respect MMA but I prefer boxing.
:boxing:
haha yeah tyson had a wild look in his eyes that night. sign the contract big boy sign the contract haha
I think Kostya's legacy will be in question for me because of his lack of passion for the sport and his reflexive innactivity over the years..
how do you figure he had a 'lack of passion'?
i guess he was fairly inactive towards the back end of his career.. but u do realise he had some very serious injureis in that time. sanpping his achilles tendon, tearing a shoulder muscle amongst others.
Of course anyone that believes MMA is real will say it's stupid, I just think it's fake and that's my opinion.
We will findout one day and you will remember my post and say to yourself that Gunstar guy knew what he was talking about!
haha if u turn out to be right i'll give u all the props in the world.
and yeah fair enough each to their own opinion. just think the evidence on the contrary is a little overwhelming
I think MMA is fake just like the WWF is, people forget 20 years ago people thought that WWF was real, I remember all kids in school use to debate about Tyson and Hulk Hogan, we all know now Tyson will KO Hogan's ass out in real fight!
I think MMA does a little better job then the old WWF, they make it look a little more real, after seeing many video's from MMA fights, I think the whole sport is fake just like WWF.
I saw the Ray Mercer fight against that Japanese guy, Mercer was def paid some money for that fight just to make MMA look good, it's easy to get some old broke ass boxers to make your sport look good and real.
Sorry guys, all you guys are getting :owned: by the MMA just like the old WWF 20 years ago!
One day we will find out the truth about MMA and we will all know it's fake! :owned:
that's the stupidest shit ive ever heard and i hope you're joking gunstar. rwk's has it right. you have to respect them as separate sports. or if not respect, acknowledge them as different sports.
i think its still a feasible fight. uve still got the element of uncertainty with vic going up a weight class. im bettin most americans will still pick arce to win.
I forgot that he fought that guy. Tszyu was poorly promoted in the states, they were giving away tickets to his Tackie fight. Being signed to Showtime was a mistake. HBO would have marketed the shit out him. Would a great get stopped by Phillips? Just a question not a smart ass comment?
well i guess that is a question. i say he can still be a great despite this.. you have to remember that this fight happened in the middle of his court case with his former manager and tszyu never got the training he needed. i definitely agree that he would have been better served had he signed with HBO there was huge call for a fight between him and gatti and hte only thing stopping it was their commitment to the opposing networks.
This is pretty true. After beating Zab he was in the spotlight and instead of getting another big fight , he had a long lay off and fought Tackie. Same thing when he beat Gonzalez, had almost a year off after that fight.
Kostya had the power of a Middle Weight, which made a lot of his fights exciting, but if he wasn't dominating a fighter, he's fights were pretty boring. I like him, but not a Great.
He should have fought Mosley like he said he was going to do after Zab.
he fought gonzales in august of that year and had his next fight in february. hardly a year.
i just think with unifying the title and beatin the swathe of world champions that he did, not to mention winnin 259 of 270 amature fights.. u have to call him a great.
