Koysta vs Floyd

[Deejay]

Everyone gives KT credit. Just because I think a undefeated pound for pound fighter like Floyd would win that doesnt mean im crazy. In fact if you had a poll with the fans and reporters most would pick Zoo. But for you to say a undefeated pound for pound fighter has no chance in hell just shows how ****** you are. Everything you said above about Zoo, the exact same thing can be said about Floyd. What upsets me is all the Mayweather fans said Zoo could win but none of KT fans say Floyd even has a chance which is crazy.

I can see your point and maybe I was a little harsh in my first post. I just don't think that Floyd could do what he's been able to do throughout his whole career against someone like KT. KT hits harder and is more physical than any other fighter Floyd has been up against & added with this, he does take some shots despite his great defense. That shoulder roll is awesome but with someone like KT who picks his shots so well, I don't think he'd be able to fend him off. He'd be on the run the whole fight which the Judge's wouldn't like either.

Anyway, I don't know why we're bothering, politics between hbo and showtime are gonna stop this fight from ever happening, which is a damn shame.

I think we should talk about cotto v mayweather in 2005 or 2006...who wins?

I like Cotto but im not high on him like everyone else. I posted on one of these threads that right now he's living off his name. Who has he really beat? He was the mandatory for Harris for the longest and never fought him. I still dont know when he's going to fight one of the top guys. When it happends will find out how good he really is but I do see some flaws

I think this fight is real interesting because of the style matchups. I dont think there should be any question the Tszyu is the favorite or that if he lands cleanly he can end it early. But Floyed is a great fighter and he could definatly pull off the win. I think this fight would be a rough inside fight. Tszyu loves to maul people on the inside and he actually did a lot of holding and hitting against Mitchel early on. Mayweather might be able to keep Tszyu off of him though and create some punching space between them or he might be able to let off lightning fast combos. Mayweather should definatly keep his back off the ropes though. I'd have to pick Tszyu in this fight but Mayweather is live as hell. Hes not just another contender hes another champion.

You keep saying you see flaws...what flaws do you see? The only flaw I can see someone taking from him is that he's somewhat vulnerable to the right hand upstairs and he has a relatively short reach. That about it really and those are two very minor things that he can work around or improve. I mean, he only has 21 fights to his name and he's already beat N'Dou and Pinto...this fight he's taking against Bailey is just a stay busy fight. In 2005 you will see him disect the top 140 guys one by one. Mayweather will be his hardest test...and I hope that the man in my avatar gets a shot at Floyd by fall/winter 2005.

Have a good read of all the post's again mate. There are plenty of people here who have said that PBF is a chance but THEY don't think so. You are so one eyed that you cannot accept the points they make that would result in a KT victory. Have you once addmitted on this post that there is the slightest possibility that KT may hit PBF cleanly in a 12 round fight and that maybe it will rock him? NO, so if you want people to give UNBIASED opinions and admit that the other guy has got the skills to win, START WITH YOURSELF!!!!

I see the flaws that you mentioned and sometimes he seems like he gets hit to much. Im also worried about his stamina like in the N'Dou fight, and sometimes he seems like he has lapses or like he's streaky. One minute he's dominating and looks in total control and then the next minute he looks like he's resting or taking rounds off and getting caught with shot's that he wasnt getting caught with earlier in the fight. Dont get me wrong. Im not being critical. Im the one who said he is still young and is ahead of the pace. Im talking to the people who acts like he would dominate the division(atleast before the Zoo) fight). Im upset because I think he's ready for Gatti and Harris right now but im not sure but I think his management is starting to go backwards now after a good win over N'Dou

You must didnt read my post that started this thread. I said I dont mind you picking Zoo to win by decision or KO because I definatly think that could happend. I'm talking to the people who says that Zoo would run through Floyd like water with no problem. Read the first post

First off, before you debate this...remember, Mayweather is probably going to jail for beating his woman, so it may never happen. I think he's facing six years, and it's not the first time he's done it. If he got his **** together that would be great but who knows what he's been doing. I gotta pick KT, but I do enjoy Mayweather fights, so I hope they happen again.

Fight no chance. Just read on Maxboxing.com that PBF will have one tune up, Gatti will defend against JJL and then they will fight each other in June.

If it takes place in the next couple years it will be a great fight. I think Kostya has the skills to beat Floyd right now. He won't run over him but Floyd has had a tendency of taking flush shots lately and that would spell trouble for him in this fight. Mayweather is a good young fighter but it might be better for him and his career to avoid KZ.
