Crawford vs Tsyzu

[eco1]

Midget Gamboa almost put Crawford on the floor, Kostya would've decapitated Crawford.

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.

Zoo got slept on the ropes.

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.

When he lost to Phillips he had some issues outside the ring and I think it was well known he didn't focus on training.

When he lost to Phillips he had some issues outside the ring and I think it was well known he didn't focus on training.

All of that most likely contributed to his loss to Phillips, but Phillips also tested positive for banned substances after his fight with Hatton supposedly.

So i wouldnt put it past Phillips to having been on something for the Tszyu fight, and that also being a contributing factor to Tszyu losing to Phillips that night.

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.

This is spot on, Tsyzu’s timing and other fundamentals were solid, 50/50 fight in my opinion.

Crawford by KO to me. Bud is much faster and smarter in the ring than Tszyu. Tszyu would need to be hyper aggressive and try to hurt Crawford opening himself up for big shots in the process.

Crawford by 10th round stoppage. Also I like Kostya Tszyu. I’m certainly not a Tszyu hater. If anything, I’ve been known to hate on Crawford.

Bump it up

[ELPacman]

I picked Crawford based on his ability to switch hit, but it wouldn't have been easy and I could even see him getting KO'd. Tszyu had a brutal right hand but honestly hit hard with both hands. He was very accurate and technically sound. He knew distance very well.

One day, AI will be able to put these fantasy fights together and they'll probably look neat, but man oh man, nothing would have been better than creating a time machine and sending guys back to face each other, lol.

Kind of interesting that Crawford could had fought his son Tim Tszyu, too bad it's unlikely to happen.

[The D3vil]

Tszyu was wayyyy to defensive irresponsible to not get knocked out by Crawford.
