Shane Mosley vs Kostya Tszyu

[RightCross94]

mosley has the ability to maul kostya, but kostya would land a lot on him as he comes forward

toss up fight, if shanes chin holds up, he wins

[RightCross94]

KT gets schooled and stopped worse than Phillips stopping him Mosley has to much speed skills and power , just plain better in every department , it takes more than just a right hand to beat prime Mosley , the fight is a step up on anyone in KTs resume , there is a reason KT refused to fight Phillips and Judah again and there is a reason he never seeked the superfights with Mosley and ODH at the time .

well im not sure why he didnt fight phillips again, phillips fell off pretty soon after he beat kostya so maybe thats the reason

i have a feeling the reason he didnt fight zab again was because he knocked zab senseless in 2 rounds

hmm tough one, prime mosley probably edges it by decision

But they started lower and KT could have went to them like an ATG would have done seeking the superfights , KT was picking winning fights at JW he didnt want the big guns for reasons .

I remember him calling them both out. In my opinion, Tszyu was an awkward and unneccesary roadblock on the way to bigger fights for those two hence why they skipped the divsion (Floyd also).

As for the rest, I would give any Mosley a great chance of winning, I just think this version would be the best way to beat Tszyu. And I didnt see speed as being the decisive factor as everyone seemed to be saying.

I also dont think Judah could be classified as "green" nor did Tszyu need to rematch him. When you knock a guy out twice with the same punch, theres little debate lol

What do you mean twice they only fought once and he didnt want to give him another shot and I told you what KTs trainer said , Zab at the time had only been pro for 5 years and it was by far his biggest fight , compared to KTs 10 years and KT was only 4 fights from retirement while zab has had 17 fight since and is still fighting ,,,, mate when these fought Zab was green as grass in the big time .

It was the biggest duck of all time not fighting Phillips who tried to sue him for a rematch , whether he fell off or not he stopped him and any great fighter would avenge that at any chance they got , KT wanted nothing to do with Phillips again , research it bud you will see how much Phillips tried to fight him again , KT fought shamba twice yet the man that KOs him dont get another go I cant wear that , it should not have been Phillips doing the chasing .

I would say mosley because of his speed

I think todays Mosley would beat Tszyu. The ****m Richardson influenced, "Mini B-Hop" version who rushed and clinched the hell outta Margarito. That was the way to beat Tszyu.

The old Mosley, maybe not. He struggled with technical boxers with a good jab. People keep saying Mosleys speed but it took Tszyu a round to come to terms with Judah who was the fastest guy around at the time.

Today's Mosley isn't new, it's just not been seen since the Lightweight division.

Mosley would beat the living ****s out of Kostya. He is no Phillips, people. Kostya best chance is to win by KO, in other terms his chance of winning is ZERO. Yes, Mosley does struggle with technical boxers. But Winky and Forrest are better "boxers" than Kostya especially Wnky

I agree with you that Mosleys wins big , but to be fair KT flogged Forrest in the amateurs although thats not the same as the pros but it is a closer yardstick to them never having boxed at all , KT was a better amateur than a pro in my view but thats a euro thing as they have much more emphasis on the amateur program for young fighters .
