32 have tried, 32 have failed

quite clear from the hatton fight? we're talking about prime kostya not 36 yr. old fought once in 2-3 years kostya.

what does the hatton-kostya fight made quite clear to you? that kostya isn't that good at 35-36?

kostya style is perfect for a slick boxer. is floyd not a slick boxer?

behold the greatness that was KING KOSTYA........

sorry if you've seen me post kostya videos every 10 minutes or so. whenever kostya is mentioned......gotta post a highlight. not many have seen him or rate him highly. (especially the young guys.)

I meant the Mayweather-Hatton fight, where you can clearly see that the pretty boy knows all the ugly tricks. While he was a favorite, NO ONE thought he would win THAT fight in THAT way.

Kostya was deteriorated form injuries by the time he fought Hatton, and his movement, balance and stamina were much better, but Mayweather is much more than a slick boxer, and he would never underestimate Zoo.

Before Mayweather-Hatton I had the idea in mind that Zoo had a big chance by making it ugly, but I didnt know the con man tricks Mayweather had in there for ugly fights... now in no way I'd put my money on Zoo.

BTW you have all my support for posting as many videos as possible of Zoo!!!

too bad we'll never know for sure.

i don't think kostya has to rough him up "hatton"-style. hatton just holds and pushes.

kostya is much better skilled than hatton. he'll use his shoulder , a few elbows , turn floyd in a clinch. hatton is not half the man kostya was.

i like to think he beats floyd. castillo did ok against floyd in the 1st fight. kostya is better than castillo in almost every category.

He would definitely try that, I have seen Zoo sneaking in some nice elbows. I dont know if anyone uses his elbows better than Floyd, though. Actually the thought of this particular detail makes it interesting to see how dirty it could get.

Turning Floyd would be key, but it would not be easy at all seeing how he keeps his feet when he is on the inside. Hatton tried to, but failed.

Zoo and Castillo are very different fighters, and there was a second fight, where Floyd just got on his bicycle and won...

LOL @ "hatton was not half the man kostya was" did you quote hatton on that (he said something like that to the crowd in manchester after the fight) or did it just came out like that?
