    I don't think Floyd "overwhelms" Kostya Tszyu in his prime. He might have danced and outpointed for a decision, but I seriously doubt it. Tszyu's counter punching was a marvel. It would soon move from dancing and outpointing to just dancing, and then just running....for his life.

      I personally think Tszyu would outbox the **** out of Mayweather. Literally. Mayweather would be crapping his pants he would be getting outboxed and busted up so bad.




      Tszyu would lose like I said before.

          He is a SLicksters Nightmare.. Plus I seriously Doubt Maywweatehr could hve eaten too many of those right hands..
          Floyd would have have been there to eat those right hands. Floyd would have beaten Kotsa by a decision.

            A prime Kotsa couldn't stop the less skilled and weaker-chinned Mayweather (Uncle Roger); no way he beats a prime Floyd, Jr. at 140.

              A young Tszyu with only 14 fights under his belt against an experienced veteran like Roger with 65 fights under his. Prime Tszyu definitely stops Hatton in a lot less than 10. Good fight against Floyd, pickem in my book.

                The only definite thing is that Hatton won that fight inside the distance.

                  A 36 year old, inactive, Tszyu coming off of surgeries quit after 11 rounds, and hasn't fought since. Don't talk like Hatton knocked out a prime Tszyu.

                    This is exactly how I see it as well.
