Crawford vs Tsyzu

[The_Demon]

How would Crawford have got on against a prime Kostya Tsyzu at 140?

I liked Zoo
His defense always made him look vulnerable.
Bud would catch him by the 6th and that would be that.

Tough fight to call.

Zu was a beast at his best, Crawford is too.

Would have been an excellent 50/50 fight.

I think Crawford pieces him up tbh, would be a very tough stylistic matchup for Tszyu.

Crawford easy, KT had been beaten by guys not on TCs level, KT was good but not that good.

- - Craw ducks KT like he do Spence and like U do sense.

Crawford couldn't even beat Tim Tszyu.

Lost to a most likely roided Vince Phillips and lost to prime Hatton while being old and fighting in Hattons backyard.

Prime Tszyu would love this match-up, since he had 0 problems finding slick southpaws.

Legit 50/50 fight, i'd probably favor Tszyu slightly even though i'm a major Crawford fan.

Crawford has never fought anyone like Tszyu.

Naww

Crawford is too Chinny Lil Gamboa and countless others have made him do the stanky leg buds always getting hurt.

Tszyu was a hard hitting sniper he would hurt and stop Crawford.

Interesting match-up.

Tszyu was very well schooled and had excellent fundamentals, always on balance to punch even when stepping backwards and got full rotation/extension on his shots. Though perhaps appearing basic to the layman, his unflashy style belied a lot of subtlety and cleverness in how he set up his attacks. When I think of Tsyzu, I think of substance over style. Did everything well and hit like a mule.

This is pretty much a pick 'em fight, though I would slightly lean towards Tszyu in his prime winning by decision. Crawford would have to get on his bicycle and fight in the same manner he did versus Postol. It's certainly a fight in which he could not afford to lose his temper and fight on emotion as he sometimes has a tendency to do.
