I got Kostya by KO, If there’s anything I have learned from the Zab fight is that Kostya could deal with technical skill and speed simultaneously.

Bradley has too much versatility for Tszyu, who i believe was overrated.

Tszyu was flat footed, could only fight from long range, was wide open to overhand rights, could not handle a fighter who got in the pocket or inside because he had no inside game.

Bradley would probably use his speed, turn him, reset him, and pot shot his way to a decision imo. Tszyu's best win is Zab Judah.

Lol bit premature, no? Kostya was the undisputed lt-welterweight champion of the world holding all 3 belts and at his best he was one of the most lethal fighters to ever compete in that division? Timmy's a new kid on the block and we've only seen him deal with a couple of different styles...... Kostya was an extremely sharp operator, more physical with a devastating KO punch. Tszyu by UD or possible stoppage

Prime Tszyu would KO Bradley.

It's a shame that Tszyu became more of a headhunter in the pros.

I'm with Tszyu for defenits as well .I think too good all round .Had a quality amatuer and pro career .Some people think Tszyu's the best 140 pdr ever

Interesting fight but I have Tszyu by UD or late stoppage. He was really sharp and I really doubt that Bradley's athletism and speed would've been a problem for a prime Kostya.

That's how i see it too. Judah was a very good win for him though. He changed that fight with one punch. Doesn't prove he can beat boxer types consistently. But his best fight was vs Forrest in the amateurs, not Judah imo
