Kostya Tszyu vs Floyd Mayweather at 140

[ALT-Assassin]

The cautiousness is what stops as many people calling Floyd the ATG that his skills and accomplishments probabbly deserve, that said I still feel that Tszyu beats him, there is one punch that Tszyu threw very very often that is not really talked about, Hatton knew it and even tried to beat Kostya to it a few times. It was the left hook on the instruction to break from the referee, it was devastating and unless you were aware it was coming it not only scored points it would/could rock a fighter to his boots, coming as it did just at the split second that the ref called break.
Obviously Floyd is a clever fighter and would have seen it after being hit by it a couple of times, but a couple of times may have been all that was needed.

Mayweather would study tapes and if that hook showed problems for other fighters Floyd or his father would be aware of the danger.Floyd knew Hattons hook was his weakness as he timed him coming in with a check left hook and finished him.He talked about it throughout the 24/7 show.If Ricky beat Tyszu to the punch Floyd could do it as well.

tszyu-floyd would look similar to oscar floyd with floyd winning by ud

Tsyzu is somehow overrated IMHO but he is a good little fight, He got beat in his Prime by Vince philips so am pretty sure PBF would UD him.

Do you have any actual tactical or technical reasons why Floyd would win? Using these kinds of "Fighter A beats B so B doesnt beat C" arguments are really lame and lazy.

I don't know why pairing these two against each other is always such a popular topic.

In my opinion Floyd Mayweather Jr. wins and its not even close...more than likely a UD win for mayweather to be honest.

Because the British posters will always go with Tsyzu to justify the Hatton loss and Americans will always go with Mayweather to reinforce it

Am not using "fighter A to B stuff" Floyd would outbox him period, philips bullied Tsyzu because Tsyzu was throwing singular shots. If you double your shots against tsyzu without staying too far away from him then he cant get leverage on his punches when he land his on you.

I dont understand it as well, Tsyzu was a hard puncher but he lacks great workrate EVEN in his PRIME and to be honest a bit overrated, And when you're a technical sound boxer like Mayweather someone like Tsyzu would be easy picking.

Floyd could run and potshot his way to a victory. I'd take Floyd 8 times out of 10. The other 2 Kostya would catch him and spark him.

tszyu was a great boxer.this is a close fight but kostya is one of my favourite fighters and he always excelled against fighters who moved around a lot....

kostya by UD or stoppage, but still a close fight, plenty of action and it would be fast paced
