    I think it will be a UD win for Floyd(116-112) or a KO win fo Kostya

      Tszyu actually was very good against boxers and speedy guys. he could adjust to their speed very effectively and in a short time, and his outstanding timing could make them pay. also quite good at keeping the fight within his preferred range.

      now, you put Tszyu against an effective pressure fighter, and hes going to get smashed. but he was particularly good against boxers, and for that reason I think he has a reasonably good chance at beating Mayweather.

        Victoriano Sosa had some good success against Floyd by timing the right hand, and always keeping it loaded and ready.


        that was one of the the things Kostya did wonderfully. beautiful timing with the right hand, he always had that punch ready to go at almost any moment.


        I dont know, personally I can see some resemblance in Sosa's style and Tszyu's style, and Kostya was much better than Sosa timing wise.

        that being said, Mayweather is excellent at changing strategy to win the fight. this would definately be a close fight.

          Simple
          FM Jr would run the entire night and win by points. Unlike Floyd, Judah wanted to be Tyson. So he stood and fought more than he should even after that fight.
          KT would only take 2 hits to KO Floyd though but could he ever get those 2 in?

            Tszyu at times seemed to struggle with pressure, but when Ben Tackie put alot of pressure on Tzysu, Tszyu showed his boxing skills and boxed very nicely off the backfoot and used his movement and boxing brain to completey outbox Tackie. Virtually Wipe Washing him.

              yea, Tszyu had enough skill to clearly set himself apart from certain fighters, even if they were a bad style disadvantage to him. but Tackie wasnt all that great, although he was a tough guy with a great workrate.

              Im just saying that if you put Kostya against guys like Julio Cesar Chavez or Aaron Pryor, he would get his butt kicked. but if you put him up against guys like 140lb De La Hoya or Mayweather, I think he would give a very good account of himself, possibly beating either.

                No dout Tackie was a solid fighter in his prime, who was extremely tough and had a good work rate.

                But he wasn't no were near the level of pressure a prime Aaron Pryor or Julio Cesar Chavez or no were near the level fighters they were. And in my mind a prime Pryor and Chavez get wins over a prime Tszyu at 140.

                As do to Mayweather and De La Hoya.

                But Tsyzu was a great fighter in his prime and very dominat at 140 in his prime years.

                  I'm not sure. Floyd doesn't have the style that usually beat Tszyu (Come forward swarming fighter, Hatton + Phillips). However, his defensive ability and counter punching may allow him to win a UD. Floyd has a good chin, but Tszyu had incredible power, so it's a case of if Tszyu catches him, and if Floyd could take that power.... I'm not sure either way.

                  It's a close one IMO, but I like Floyd by UD.
