Zoo vs. Pbf is still possible

**scap** · 06-28-2005, 11:25 PM

I like this bout because fighting from the outside may be playing right into KT's hands.

Zoo is percieved by many to be this wild dirty brawler but if you look at his best work he is anything but that.

When he fought Judah he landed two of the most beautifully placed right hands you will ever see...and yes he did it against a lightning quick fighter from the outside.

Zoo fought Mitchel twice and coming into the second fight many people out there had Zoo loosing to the slickster but...Zoo was able to slowly walk down the quciker Sharmba Mitchel and land huge right hands from a distance...

Sure Floyd will outquick Zoo but what if KT lands the right at distance where he seemes to be the most comfortable?...a punch that RIcky took well but Mitchel and the king of the Welters did not take so well...

I think it is not that bad a match up for Zoo and one that he may want to go after, Im not necessarily picking him but I do not count him out...he is still bout 3 or 4 leagues ahead of Thunder.

I agree. Tszyu could stand a good chance due to his ability to land the straight right, even against opposition faster than him. He is not as fast as PBF physically but he has good handspeed, maybe good enough to land a few times which could be all it takes.

Oh really? What round you guys think Tszyu quits in? I say after the 6th

evendo zoo lost to hatton im still interested with this bout ,
zoo is still a contender for a belt .

"contender for a belt"

Contender??? He was a division champion and a king for how many years?

Anyway, I think it's time for one more "Showtime" and he should hang 'em up after. He seems like a very smart and a very nice guy and he should know when to call it quits. I petty the fighters like Holyfield, Tyson, etc who were once legends, but didn't know when to quit..

I think a lot of people are upset the way the fight ended in Manchester but Im not ready to define Zoo by one fight or one decision at the end of one round...he has been a warrior for a long time and he deserves better.

With the recent breaking news about what he may have been going thru in the ring that night in Manchester I caution you Fuego on poking fun at KT...who knows Johnny Lewis his trainer may have saved his life or at least his quality of life and at the very least he has afforded Zoo the option to fight another day...an option that a guy like Gerald McClellan or Greg Page would most likely give antyhing for.

Be careful you are entering dip**** territory.

"Excellence" should be your custom title! HeHe

Well said! I completely agree!

I really hope Tszyu doesn't find himself in the ring with Floyd Mayweather jr. because I really like him as a fighter and respect what he has accomplished, but "Pretty Boy Floyd" would walk right through him at this point and I really do not want to see anything bad happen to Tszyu. Unlike Gatti, Kostya will probably be able to get close enough to **** with Floyd at times and that is what scares me. Floyd is so fast that he could do some serious damage in KOing Tszyu and after the last diagnosis this could have some serious repercussions.

Even though I am sure would definitely give PBF a run for his money, I can't see this happening for money reasons...

i see more money in Tszyu stepping up to 147 and fighting Judah or DLH.......

tszyu is a dangerous man, zab judahs outboxing him, then he pulled two straights. same with what happened with sharmba mitchell, he was boxing good when tszyu got him.

well the fight with hatton he seemed tired even before the start. i'll bet on tszyu when this happens.

Zoo vs. Pbf is still possible
