Could Floyd have beaten a prime Kostya Tszyu at 140lbs?

Gatti was shot by the time Floyd got around to fighting him.
Kostya would have defeated Floyd at 140, that's why Floyd wanted no part of him.Comment

Zoo was still off claiming to be hurt.
You can't slam Floyd's tactics when Zoo was fighting featherweights(and getting busted up)like Leija and lightweights like Gonzales.
Gatti had the titles and many thought Floyd didn't have the pop to keep Gatti off him.
At least Floyd had the balls to challenge bigger guys and to avenge what many thought was a loss to Castillo.
Zoo just accepted his ass-whipping from Vince and moved on like a *****.
Floyd did call Zoo out after winning the elimination bout with Brusseles,Zoo..like Cotto...never found the guts to even say Floyd's name.
Mayweather took more risks than 100 Tszyu's..Comment

oscar that's about it.
you're an idiot.
mayweather fought 4 times at 147. he fought sharmba , zab , ricky and carlos.
3 of the 4 are guys kostya fought at 140.
claiming to be hurt? the fact that he didn't fight that much probably means he was. do you realize that when kostya was "claiming to be hurt" he was older than when floyd retired? ever think maybe he was hurt since he was old?Comment

Floyd started at 130 and moved all the way up to 154..winning Titles along the way.bigger guys? like who?

Zoo started at 140 and stayed there..never demanding to be great..picking on Featherweights and Lightweights.
At least Floyd had the balls to fight Oscar...Zoo didn't even have the stones to get his nuts back from Cool Vince Phillips.Comment

Kosyta is no match for Floyd. Kostya showed that if you hit him back, and took his punch, he was finished. This is why he lost to Phillips, and never rematched him. Floyd would never lose to a guy like Phillips. People bring up the fact that Kostya beat some guys Floyd beat. Floyd beat Baldomir who beat Clottey, and people still call Baldy a bum. Floyd beat Hatton who beat Kostya. Floyd can take right ahnds, and Kostya can't. Guys like Kostya and Cotto ran you over like a truck, and when they got hit by that truck, they folded. Floyd has never folded in a fight. He never slid to a stoppage loss or took right hands until he was unconscious but conscious on his feet like Cotto and Kostya. People think he is just going to ko Floyd if he lands just because Judah gave floyd problems early in the fight lol.Comment

Gatti was the Champion at 140..Only a fool or a member of the aryan sisterhood would believe that a Champion is a shot fighter.
Which one is it?????Comment

why do you have to jump weight to be great? hagler never jumped weight so he must not have tried to be great right?Floyd started at 130 and moved all the way up to 154..winning Titles along the way.
Zoo started at 140 and stayed there..never demanding to be great..picking on Featherweights and Lightweights.
At least Floyd had the balls to fight Oscar...Zoo didn't even have the stones to get his nuts back from Cool Vince Phillips.
some guys can move up others can't.
one could argue floyd is bigger that kostya he's definitely taller.
balls to fight oscar? oscar is the biggest cashcow in the business. who wouldn't fight him?Comment

Man, when you run it down, Floyd ducked Freitas, Casamayor, Shane at 135, Kostya at 140, Cotto at 140 and 147, and Margs. Oh, I forgot Spadafora too. Floyd got his ass kicked by Spadafora in sparring lol. Floyd is a paper champion. Kostya's right was too much for Floyd. How did Hurtado do against Kostya before he lost to Kostya since Judah did so great against Floyd in their fight?Comment
No Floyd chose the Great Gatti instead of chasing the man at 140. He did his usual "pick-up-a-belt-and-leave" tactic that dictated his later career
