i was watching Mosley v Cruz last night (god that was awful) and they talked about a possible matchup between Oscar and Kostya Tszyu at 147
who do you think would've won and why
Oscar would of been to big, strong and hit to hard for tszyu, a prime oscar was a great fighter who was a match for any one past or present, i think he stops kosta.
I think Tszyu would win a close decision. It would be a pretty even fight with both fighters landing punches. I just think Kostya would land more than Oscar and win a SD. Oscar had the big name but Tszyu was also a great fighter, people tend to forget this.
At 140 ODLH looked unbeatable, but Tszyu was his real competition. Oscar would had been the bigger guy but didn't have that right hand to keep Tszyu from advancing. Tszyu weakness was the striaght right hand but was good defending against hooks with head movement. At 147 got to go with Oscar
DLH - TKO4, TKO8
Tszyu - KO6 (Kostya became the 2nd man to put Chavez on the canvas, first was Frankie Randall, although Chavez was 38 and done already when Tszyu fought him)
vs Miguel Angel Gonzalez
DLH- W12
Tszyu - KO10 (best performance of Tszyu)
vs Jesse James Leija
DLH - KO2
Tszyu - KO6
vs Rafael Ruelas
DLH - KO2
Tszyu - KO9
Dela Hoya should win over Tszyu but it would really be close, likely by decision.
