Prime Kosta Tszyu vs Todays Manny Pacquio????

[FasTHarD]

as of right now, kostya would probably ko pac late. he has crazy power and i doubt it if pac can take it. gotta see how pac does againts ricky to be sure.

pac seems to always lose in "what if" fights. not that im arguing, just seems that pac is always the underdog in these fantasy fights.

He always been the undendog of these fantasy fights but if the fight happens he always be on top....

There's no way any boxer at 135-140 can KO pacman right now even prime Kostya...

[Silencers]

Tszyu relied a lot on timing but Pacquiao is a very tough guy to time, I think Pacquiao would win with his speed and movement, he probably also had the power to keep Tszyu honest but if Pacquiao gets caught with Tszyu's big right hand, it's good night.

pac has a great chin. but kostya hits like a freakin train. pac ud's him if kostya will not be able to hit flush. which i doubt. kostya has some great skills. often overshadowed by his power.

pac would whoop any 140< fighter today though. except prolly marquez

Pac definitely beats Kosta in his prime. I agree Kosta with figure out Manny's style and will attempt to disect him, however Manny's chin, speed and pressure will ultimatly lead to a TKO in the late rounds. Remember Hatton vs Tszu?

I am interested specifically in your opinion, which I respect.

I see this as a horrible style matchup for Pac. You see something I don't see in Pac's ability to not get hit. I am curious why you think so?

I have not seeing anything friom Pac which makes me think he would manage to stay out of trouble long enough.

I agree that he is very fast, but the only fights in which I have seen hints of a defensive mind have been the last two, and prime Zoo is a different beast than Diaz or this version of Oscar. Not to mention that straight right lands like a beauty on a southpaw.

we'll see when pac faces Hatton. and if he demolishes hatton then we can say that he can beat tszyu to.

and why would that be?

Hatton's best punch = left hook to the body (from midrange/inside)
Zoo's best punch = straight right hand to the head (from outside)

Zoo loved to fight with space and boxe, Hatton likes to fight up close and wrestle.

Their styles are as different as night and day.

How does fighitng one tell you something about the other?

well if he beats him then we can say he has a good chance, some people think he has no hope. this is a fantasy match and we will never know. so the only way to compare is through perfomances against Hatton. thats more reliable than imagining of how a fight between pac and kostya would go

[hammerhiem]

Prime Tzsyu only has to catch Pacman once, at trhe very least he stuns him and go and watch what Tzsyu does to stunned fighters.

Tzsyu by KO withi 30 seconds of the first powershot landing on the target.

People have elevated Pacmans chin to mythical proportions but he still hasn't been in the ring with anyone with more than SFW power.

[Pullcounter]

pac has a chance to beat a prime tszyu, but prime tszyu murders speedy southpaws. imho it doesnt look good for pac.
