tszyu vs mayweather

Tzyu...Hatton won the first 6 rounds of his fight with Floyd

Imagine what Kostya would do to that monkey

Dude how old are you. If you are above 20 then you should be ashamed of yourself just cuz your parents now let you use your computer in your room doesnt mean you should mesbehave. And hatton won the first six rounds. Tell your mum ******* taken during pregnancy is a hell of a drug.

KT was a very underated boxer-see his amatuer background especially his fights with Vernon Forrest as an example.

Most think of KT as this raw brawler but if you think about the two men that were able to defeat him they did so with a very raw rough brawling style (Hatton and Phillips)...

This would have been a very tough fight for Floyd...to me almost a u pickem....but we never got to see it which is the problem with Floyd-too many fights he left on the table post Castillo.

Someone made a reference to Vernon above...the only fighter I would take hands down over Floyd in a mythical prediction would be the Viper...Floyd would have been too small for the rangy and cagey viper.

tough fight. floyd wins a rough unanimous decision. his final fight at 135, after that boring sosa fight, through his next five fights (3 at 140, mitchell and zab judah at 147), floyd mayweather displayed combination punching with bad intentions. despite this, he never neglected his defense and, when he was caught by the southpaws judah and corley (the first time), he was caught WITHIN his shell. as in, he anticipated the punches coming and was really caught by the altered angles the southpaw left hands came from.

the difference in speed between tszyu and judah indicates that there will also be, at least, a slight advantage for mayweather. add in the fact that mayweather doesn't exactly fight in a "rhythm" and, i believe, tszyu will have problems catching him AND trying to time him.

i expect mayweather's pull counter to take away tszyu's jab due to mayweather's superior speed and length. this will force tszyu to contend with mayweather's jab and combinations, which he was regularly using at the time, to get in and force him to find ways to dent an overly cautious mayweather's shell once he's there.

tszyu is going to have to rely on clipping mayweather enough with his strong right to keep him in his shell or on the move 80% of the time. this will allow tszyu to outpoint him based on punch output and aggression.
