    Seeing as how Vince Phillips slapped the **** out of a prime Tszyu and knocked him silly, I'd have to say Mayweather beating Tszyu would have been the most likely scenario. Tszyu is also just slightly overrated..

      Very hard to overrate a guy that unified the belts for the first time in 30 years. Very hard.

        People seem to overrate Tyson, even though he unified the belts.

        All it takes is a weak division.

        And I'm not saying 140 was, I don't know, I'm just saying.

          Belts titles and trinkets mean nothing and some of them are given away , thrown in bins and found in weeties packets ,,,, what is important is who you beat and at what stage of their career you beat them .

              Who did Tszyu beat to win all of his titles at 140? I'm just curious.

                    whoever voted for Tszyu does't know **** about boxing or is just a mayweather hater.

                      1999 Miguel Angel Gonzales... WBC super lt weight (not 140)
                      2001 Sharmba Mitchell...WBA jr. ww
                      2001 Zab Judah...IBF jr. ww
                      2001 awarded WBC jr. ww because Oscar De La Hoya was stripped (ODH moved up and out rather than defend the belt). Ahem...
