    Do you think Kostya Tszyu would have...

    Put up a better fight than Ricky Hatton had he fought Manny Pacquiao in his prime. Tszyu was a very hard hitting Light Welter and he even though he wasnt that fast he still had the ability to throw hard punches while backing up. I'm certain Manny could have beat him but what I'm asking is do you think he could have gone the distance or perhaps even hurt Manny with one of his thudding right hands ? Thoughts...

      Absolutely. Actually think it's a bad style matchup for Manny. Tszyu could take a shot and he could dish one out. Plus, he worked extremely well from the outside. Miss that guy..

        Youre certain that Pac wouldve won against Tszyu? You also have the nerve to ask if Tszyu couldve went more than 2 rounds against Pac? I think Tszyu wouldve knocked Pac the **** out

          Ya me too. He was a great champion and a respectable person outside the ring. He could have beat Hatton but IMO Hatton fought dirty and just outwrestled him. Nonetheless...a Tszyu/Pac fight would have been intresting.

            Can you explain this theory seeing as Pac's speed would be the defining difference in the fight. Of course he could go more than 2 rounds...I'm saying he could have gone the distance and perhaps even stunned him a few times but the end result is Kostya gets knocked out. I like him to I'm just keeping it real.

                Yes, Kostya's style was all bad for Pacquiao. He was hard hitter, fast and more technical than him. Kostya would have probably won a UD. Very underrated champ, he was a real great 140 pounder, better than the current champs.

                  A prime Tszyu would have beaten Pacquiao at 140.
