    You broke it down very well, and I agree with all of that.

    Stunned is the right word for Floyd-Corley. Cotto was hurt against Corley IMO, because he wasn't defending himself very well after the hook landed...

    I don't know about Darchinyan and ***** street. I would be more inclined to call that dead.


    lol thats funny for some reason

      Actually, now that I think about it...

      It was in terrible taste considering the Oscar Diaz thing happened two nights ago.

        Ask yourself: who would hit who more? Would Tszyu hurt Oscar? Would Oscar hurt Tszyu?

        Enough said.

          i think kostya hits harder than oscar.

          i think oscar has a much better chin than kostya.

          hence 50/50.

          i think it'd be a tough fight that would go either way.

          is that opinion okay with you?

            i always thought ***** street is anytime you stumble but either don't go down or go down but get right back up.

            darchinyan to me is not ***** street. when donaire cracked him he was out imo. he was stumbling but his motor functions was gone.

            ***** street to me is stunned and a big loss of balance but not out.

            my definition. i could be wrong though.

                That opinion is absolutely fine. It's just that I see Oscar hitting Zoo MUCH more frequently that KT hits Oscar.

                    i don't know. prime kostya was pretty fast.

                    and i know oscar would have reach and height advantage but seeing how kostya totally schooled a much taller and longer reach forrest.......

                    i know oscar is way better than vernon but still......

                      how is that?

                      oscar was powerful at 130 and 135 but he wasn't that powerful at 147 and above.

                      he didn't have too many fights at 140 so i can't tell if he has great 140 power and 2 of the 3 guys he beat at 140 kostya beat also a year or 2 later.

                      if you look at most of the guys he koed at 147 and above they were guys with weak chins or old guys he wore down.
