For the run thats all Sharmba was to Floyd , , they dont go for the gold cup every start , as for Floyd , KT would not have handled Oscar at any time let alone at 150 where Floyd fought him , even that version of Oscar would take KT out .

everyone sees it differently.

i think kostya beats oscar and shane at 140 tbh.

i just don't like him ridiculing kostya's comp and then he goes and defends floyd's 147 resume.

3 out of the 4 opponents floyd fought at 147 was the same guys kostya fought at 140. does it make sense for him to defend floyd but criticize kostya?

the 1 guy that floyd fought at 147 that kostya didn't was carlos baldomir.

i think kostya beats baldo myself.

I was talking about Kostya Tszyu with a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fan earlier today and he asked , "Who the hell is Kostya Tszyu?" and "Who the hell did Kostya Tszyu beat?"

It's time the greatness of Kostya Tszyu is appreciated. He is one of the most underrated fighters on this board. That's unfortunate. I will do my best to change that.

First of , who is Kostya Tszyu you ask? He's one of the greatest junior welterweights of all time. He's up there with all the other greats who have fought at 140 and would be competitive with any of them head to head.

Second , who has he beat? Well here's a list of some of the opponents he beat , their record when they first fought Kostya and some of the titles they've held.

kostya can't beat tito , tito's too big.

oscar has fought at 130 before. oscar at 140 would've been a good fight for kostya.
