Do you think Kostya Tszyu would have...

[Benncollinsaad]

Kostya would not only beaten him, he'd kill him! He was simply too strong for Pac.

[DLT]

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.

Tszyu wasnt a super fast type fighter but he probably had the quickest punch in boxing. No one threw faster from point A to point B. His timing was exceptional and he was strong like an ox. He's a bad style for Pac and he's one of the few guys who always looks good against Southpaws because of that quick straight right. I think he catches Pac one time and that could end it. He hit like a sledge hammer and he's a much better overall boxer than Pac. Much more techniqal and fundementaly sound. Dont get me wrong, Pac is a beast and because of that I still give him a shot but Tszyu was a bad boy. Dont forget that

A past prime Tszyu would have put up a better fight than Hatton let alone a Prime Tszyu.
Tszyu's speed and stamina declined over the years as well...and was already talked about as possibly being "past prime" as early as the Judah fight...but of course power makes people forget quickly about the talk as to why the talks started.


He may have even started to break down with age because maybe his body was ready to go to the next weight-class but he never did...or maybe the inactivity and/or training methods as well as the long amateur career he had...not sure.



This was his very first Pro fight: Just look at the speed, agility, and power (despite his opponent) he showed as far as potential.
Still say he would have been better off in the States than Australia as far as boxing.

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...

prime tszyu would present more trouble for pac. tszyu is good against southpaws.

I agree yes and the power Kostya had in that right hand could end fights I'm just saying the speed...the volume of punches and the tempo of the fight all favor Pac. Hey I like Tszyu...he was one of my favorite fighters. I give him the best chance out of everyone except for Shane Mosley who beats Pac everytime I just think he comes up short due to the amount of left hands eat will eat.

[WhoreUs]

prime kostya ktfo pacquiao at 140.

pacquiao will have his moments.

he might even be winning the fight when it happens.

but in 12 rounds , kostya will land that right hand flush and solid. then it'll be over.

[Bushidō]

PAcquiao vs Tszyu is actually a good fight that I never thought about. Not sure though. Kostya was pretty damn accurate with his right hand but I could also imagine Pacquiao's speed getting to Kostya.
