MAYWEATHER TSZYU who would win??

[poontango]

Floyd would have frustrated Tsyzu tirelessly en route to a classy win.

Whats so classy about frustration?

Makes me want to throw my shoe at the tv watching these so called "classy" boxers.

Then you wanted to throw your shoe at the TV for Leonard's wins over both Duran and Hagler. Right?

[Ray Ray]

yes. but did he? no.

floyd mayweather jr. the king of hypothetical situations and winner of hypothetical great fights.

and Floyd is light years ahead of Verno Phillips!

[RL_GMA]

how????you can barely touch floyd..and at 140 it seemed to be his best fit..aint no 1 ****n with the boy at 140

Don't be deceived there young boy lol

Floyd can and has been hit several times hence why I've said Floyd's chin isn't suspect by any means. I'm not sure if you've seen a prime Tszu fight, but in his prime he would've given Floyd a lot of trouble because like someone else mentioned here he knew how to keep up with you and keep his punch output high, and he hit hard as **** for his size. Guys like Castillo and Chop Chop showed if you get inside on Floyd and control his movement around the ring that you can get shots off. Oscar to his credit in the beginning of their fight was attempting to do that, but he went off his game and let Floyd take over.

A prime Tszu IMO beats Floyd. I've always believed that.

Alright little guy go back and watch some Tszyu, no body ever counter punched him. Tszyu was a counter puncher. Mayweather didn't have the power or strength to KO a prime Tszyu sorry buddy. Tszyu was a fighter to watch, he would give anyone in the history of 140 a hard time in his prime. Pryor, Duran, DLH, anyone. This man hit hard.

If Mayweather get's caught by Tszyu that is the end of the fight plain and simple. Seriously Tsyzu's power was unheard of. Tszyu wasn't some idiot slugger, he unified the belts for a reason. He was the 140 pound king. Even Mayweather said in a interview how much he respected Tszyu, but Tszyu was old and having injury issues by that point. Tsyzu was calibrated and accurate NO wasted energy.

I already said Tszyu loses what more do you want? If he catches him though Mayweather loses plain and simple. It really isn't arguable.

Dude you really sounding like a hypocrit now! I think its you who need to go back and refresh your memory.... Does Verno Phillips ring a bell???

Cool Vince.

Verno is the JMW from Belize.

Tszyu would be real test for Mayweather cuz Tszyu like fighting boxers who ran like Zab,Sharmba and i think Tszyu would KO his ass out!

It wouldn't be a fight Mayweather would take. But Tszyu could win if he landed one, Mayweather had the boxing ability to beat him. Seems like he caught up with everyone sooner or later though. Mayweathe by UD, he wouldn't mess around like Judah.

Tsyzu had ring smarts and power 2 things that brought problems to anyone. He wasn't all that fast but his timing made up for it. He could win but it would be difficult.

Mayweather UD.

MAYWEATHER would never fight a guy like him.
Interesting fights i think Tszyu like fighting a guy who moves.

if it was prime vs. prime at 140......

kostya khtfo or beats him down for a tko win.

I think prime Tszyu would have KOed Mayweather.

are yall ****in serious? didu see what zab was doin to tszyu? if zab had an ounce of dicipline, he would have ktfo tszyu..... mayweather is a much better fighter than tszyu or zab could ever be.... in fact, i find this thread downright disrespectful

I know. It's comical.

Floyd can beat Tszyu from the outside. Box him up like a crate of oranges for 15-20 rounds.

And it's clear that Floyd is a better inside fighter than Hatton. Look what Hatton did to Tszyu inside.

Other than that big right hand, there is NOTHING that Zoo does better inside of a boxing ring than Floyd Joy Sinclair Mayweather, Jr.

Kostya Tszyu would KO Mayweather.

That's why Floyd was afraid to go to 140 and fight him, despite the fact that he would have a height and reach advantage over Kostya..

Tszyu's one of my favorite fighters, but he doesn't beat Mayweather; at least not at the point the fight was about to happen.

Floyd never avoided Tszyu. Floyd moved up to 140 to get a fight with Tszyu. This has been discussed several times before.

Explanation of why the fight didn't happen:

Floyd was on HBO and Tszyu was on Showtime. Neither were PPV worthy at that point and the only way to get these two together was to make it a PPV attraction, which would take some promoting. Because the fight would take a bit of time to be made and needed a boost, Floyd chose the easiest and best option first, GATTI. Gatti, and HBO fighter, gave him a belt and a boost in popularity. Tszyu on the other hand, took the Hatton fight. Hatton was on Showtime, a popular fighter in England and was big on Showtime and I think he may have even been his mandatory...not sure with that one.

Anyway, if both got by their opponents, it was supposed to help set up a fight between the two. Floyd won and Tszyu lost. The same thing happened to Tszyu to prevent a fight with Oscar; he lost to Phillips.
Because Tszyu lost, Floyd wanted Hatton but Hatton turned the fight down.



Speaking of Judah: In an interview Floyd was asked about that fight between Judah and Tszyu and asked what he thought about the fight. He gave credit to Tszyu but said that Judah didn't follow what he {Floyd} said to do and the rest is history.

Benny,

Thanks for the sanity.

Also, Tszyu went through a series of injuries that delayed his career. His opponents would have to wait...and wait.
