Would Tsyzu have been a better opponant for PBF?

I'm not saying Hatton didn't deserve his shot (no matter how much he fouled in they're fight), but would a fight with Tszyu have been better? I'm not a fan really of any of these guys but just thought it would make an interesting discussion. Sorry if this is a repeat thread guys.

STFU!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch the fight again, you'll see he wasn't the one fouling.

Prime Tszyu, or at least the up to the Judah-Tszyu, yes, Kostya would have been a better match for Floyd.

..........

Come on even conversations with Hatton fans I've had they've readily admitted it. Don't tell me you're eyes stopped working during that fight too. I'll admit even PBF fouled some in the Hatton fight and Hatton got ****ed when they took that point. I'm not a fan of any of these guys so what stake do I have in being biased?

He was doing it to block, and to push off, giving enough space to land the counter. You are not going to push off with your gloved/hand since you cannot block at the same time.

They both failed. Hatton was the first to hit behind the head and hold and hit...Floyd followed.

Who the **** cares who fouled? It's over. Move the **** on.

Anyway, yes he would have been. He was a powerful, naturally stronger guy then Mayweather and was very accurate. he had a good style, in terms of how it matches up with Mayweather. Nonetheless, I think Mayweather beats him with movement and better combinations. He's a better in fighter, in my personal opinion. He'd also pot-shot when needed. He'd do what Judah did, except the get sloppy/knocked out part.

Wouldn't be surprised Tszyu won, though. Close call.
