Kosta Tszyu vs. Ricardo Mayorga

[DLT]

I cant believe all you guys think Zoo's such a monster at 140 but if he moves up he'll turn to a no power wimp. He's been at 140 his whole life. I think he can carry the weight and be just as strong as Mayorga

Mayroga all the way

After eating Trinidad's punches, KT might tickle him.

LOL!!! I would think so too!!!

Wow we're talking about Kostya Tsyu not Clark Kent.

Mayorga is a powerful guy, but he throws too many wild punches.
I see the fight being tough but going Kostya way. Kostya throws much more accurate power punches and is way smarter.
Kostya punches will go inside Mayorga wild punch most of the time, plus (his sparring partners say he punches as hard as a middleweight).
Mayorga can hurt Kostya no doubt, But that doesnt mean Kostya doesnt have a great chin. Cause Mayorga can hurt anyone up to 154.
Dont let the Vince Phillips lost fool u. That was about 9 years ago, and Kostya is now a much more smart and powerful boxer.
If u saw the Vince Phillips fight, Kostya was taking alot of huge punches from Vince Phillips, and it did not seem to hurt him until the tenth round. Where he lost, because of fatigue.
After the fight, Kostya said he learned from his mistake, and that he will take his training to a new level.
His results speak for itself. Undispute Junior welterweight world champion.

This fight will never happen, regardless of whether Mayorga stays retired or not. He would never be able to drop down to that weight. It would be a 140 and a 160 meeting in the middle ... doubt it.

you always have good things to say on this forum, how do you not think that Tszyu would destroy mayorga? Mayo swings wildly, stands right there and basically begs to be hit. How would Kostya not easily destroy Mayorga?

Mayorga would win.

Tszyu is a more skilled fighter while Mayorga is a brawler that can **** and take some. Mayorga manhandled Forrest who exposed Mosley. Tszyu's easy to hit and Mayorga can punch! Tszyu would also be giving up 2 or 3 inches in height as well reach. Mayorga's weight is 147 he will not run out of gas like he did at 160. I dont think Tszyu can hurt Mayorga, he would have to exchange with Mayorga. Eventually Mayorga would catch Tszyu and score the KO.

This isnt 140 and 160 meeting in the middle its 140 and 140-147. Kosta is THE man in the toughest division in boxing so I would say with the success of others with less talent moving up he should be able to add 7 pounds and still be quite effective. I would agree that Mayorga hits harder and has a better chin, but Kosta is lightyears ahead in boxing technique and skill. I think Tyson hit harder and had a better chin than Lennox did but if you cant catch 'em you cant hurt 'em. Like I said I still pick Mayorga but I think Kosta is getting a little underrated.
