    Thanks. I thought I was the only person to think Harris would be a tough opponent for KT. Harris is tall and rangey and likes to throw the right straight down the pipe. Whereas KT likes to loop his right at a downward angle....kinda overhandish...hard to do to a guy who is alot taller. This is very tough fight for KT.

    KT vrs Mayweather is hard to pick. Slickness versus power. I think KT has the right combination of power and boxing ability to win. You can't fight Mayweather thinking that your gonna outbox him....you won't. You have to have the whole package and be willing to adjust during the fight. KT can do that.

      I like Harris too, and we all know about his offense, but he is skinny and something just tell's me that he wouldnt hold up to Zoo's punishment. Sometimes I think Zoo would break him in half with those body shots, but who knows

        I'm not sure if KT will fight Harris until he has a name in the game. KT specifically said big name opponents, and Harris isn't that yet. He has the potential, but no one outside the boxing world knows anything about him, and that won't deliver KT what he wants.

          Does anyone know how much longer KT's contract is with Showtime. If that ran up, then he'd have easy access to Gatti and Mayweather, otherwise he is losing out on two of the biggest names in boxing.

                I don't recall seeing any fight where Zoo cut the ring off. He even followed Zab around the ring in the second round.
                Actually, that is a good example of ring generalship. Maybe not truely cutting the ring off, but getting a guy to backpedal. Jab was trying to come forward by moving side to side and popping in the first round and he did it effectively. The second round KT made adjustments in his footwork and wasn't allowing Jab much room for lateral movement, Zab's only choice was to go backwards....not good against a guy with a good overhand right. KT was following Zab yes, but Zab was doing exactly what KT wanted him to do.

                Cutting the ring truley in the sense of cornering someone....no. Getting your oppponent to move they way you want them to........yes.

                    The thing is, do you think Tszyu will have to cut the ring off to get to Floyd? I don't think so - I don't think Floyd will be running all night. He'll be there, sitting right there in the pocket.

                    I think the big questions are whether Tszyu can really hit him when he's sitting there, and how effectively Floyd will counter.

                      I doubt Tszyu looked at it that way. Maybe you're getting in too deep. I think he just took the opportunity. But then again you can see anything when you try to see it..
