The Greatness of Kostya Tszyu

[Left Hook Tua]

Tszyu would have had a chance of knocking out Mayweather, he hit like a mule, some said he hit like a middleweight, was patient and very accurate with his shots but I think Mayweather would have beaten him by decision, Tszyu did have some problems against slick boxers.

he's the exact opposite of floyd.

i can see floyd winning a decision but even then he'd have some tough moments.

nobody really knows how good floyd's chin is. kinda like how no one knew how to rate roy's chin because they hardly get hit flush.

if floyd has a great chin he would've beat kostya by ud. if floyd's chin is not that great. kostya would've knocked him out.

Haha Tszyu hit's a ****load harder than Oscar.

That is debateable considering Delahoya had proven power at middleweight and Tszyu is a natural welterweight

[moochi]

absolute legend..very very impressive resume...he has more world champions on his resume than just about any other fighter.


one of the only ever to take on the other champions of his division and knock them the fk out..

legend..

definitely top 3 atg.

Kostya knockes out Mayweather because he KO Judah. Judah was in controll in that fight til he thought he was top dog and lowering his hands. Mayweather defence and speed would to much for Kostya. Mayweather in a WIDE UD

Hold on...

When was Oscar's middleweight power proven?

When he hurt Sturm or when he hurt Hopkins?

Or reality, when he hurt neither?

How did Oscar prove his power at Middleweight?

Listen Tua, I like you, but never compare Zab Judah to Floyd Mayweather EVER AGAIN if you have any moral fiber in your soul.

zab is not as good as floyd.

but zab has the speed and some talent similar to floyd. i think zab is a bit faster than floyd at 140 and 147. just my opinion.

floyd and kostya never fought. all we can do is look at their opponents with some similarity to the other.

zab had speed we can use the zab-kostya fight as somewhat of an indicator of how kostya would deal with his speed.

Someone told me that his strategy is always backing up, which proves he wasn't hurt.

The stumble was part of the gameplan I guess.

I can't believe that both "Gomez hurt Cotto", "Mayweather hurt De La Hoya" and "Corley didn't hurt Mayweather" come out of people's minds. Are people really that ****ing deluded that they think all three of those are true?

Mayweather was hurt... deal with it. He showed good recovery, but he was hurt.

Back up...Dwiens has spoken, you ****ing child.
There's a big difference between being hurt and ***** street Mr. Boxing aficionado after one year.

I would actually lean towards Tszyu over Mayweather at 140lbs.

Tszyu's biggest weakness was pressure. People fail to give Hatton any credit for his victory but he had the exact blueprint on how to beat Tszyu which Vince Phillips laid out. Hatton suffocated Tszyu, mauled him and tired him out. Yes him being 35 years old didnt help his case with the intensity it was fought at but I think overall Hatton's tactics were what won him the fight.

Give Tszyu space and try to box him from a distance and you're absolutely ****ed. Tszyu was never troubled by speed. Judah's speed gave him a problem for all of 3 minutes before he eventually caught up to him. Mayweather probably wouldnt fold as easily as Judah but I still think Tszyu could have pulled it off.

The question is would Tszyu have caught Mayweather because Mayweather was able to potshot and move very well, Judah was giving Tszyu a lot of problems in the first round, he got ****y in the second and got caught, Mitchell was giving Tszyu some difficult moments in their first fight as well and Tszyu also sometimes got wild which left him open for counter shots which Mayweather could have taken advantage of.
