Kostya Tszyu vs. Manny Pacquiao @ 140?

[Mr. Mandingo]

We all know that the current Roger Mayweather, with all that phlegm, KO's PAC on a fantasy fight so.....

[Allucard]

Pacquiao would KO Tszyu bad sorry man.

[GoogleMe]

"Manny Pacquiao always loses fantasyfights".

[Bhopreign]

Tsyzu in two.

[Picazo]

Tsyzu in two.

who in two....pac cheifs this dude, bout as nasty as he did hatton. might drag out a bit longer though, 4 rounds maybe.

[F l i c k e r]

Well, I think it's pretty unanimous that Pacquiao stans, in the words of Roger Mayweather, "don't know **** 'bout boxing".


Pacquiao-Tszyu would be a bad ass fight. It would be a war like how the JMM fight was. Going back and forth, back and forth.

I think Tszyu has more than enough power to hurt Pacquiao pretty badly. However Pacquiao has power AND speed, then you add his ridiculous work rate.


I see Pacquiao stopping Tszyu in 10. Tszyu being the warrior that he is, he would last WAY longer than Hatton. 2-4 rounds is absurd.

Pacquiao would win in a thriller. Non stop action. Trust. He would come out the victor though.

KT was over rated , good one right hand fighter that beat the contenders , got stopped by a journeyman and quit to Hatton , KT never fought an elite prime fighter he needed a superfight and the closest he got was a very green Judah and ancient JC , best performance Angel , Manny would be to mobile for him .

This is pretty much how I see it except I got it going to 11 round or possible a decision. People bring up the old, inactive version that fought Hatton, when Tszyu was a much better fighter than that. Kostya has great timing and is a very smart fighter as well so I can't see Manny blowing him out the water. But who know though as Zab was making him look bad with his speed at times until he tried to showboat and got KTFO.

Also I truly believe Kostya didn't maximize all of his talent. If anyone has access to this fight, go back and watch his amateur tape against Vernon Forrest (and some other amateur fights of his). The way he moved, boxed and countered was a thing of beauty, but I think he feel too much in love with his power once he turned pro.

I'm done for the day but this would make a good convo; Boxers who have/had great tools yet failed to use them.

e.g.
Mosley left to the body when he was an LW
Floyd's combination punching
Tszyu footwork and boxing ability
Kirklands boxing ability (Never uses it as a pro, he just stalks down opponents now n days)

I could go on and provide clips but I'm done for the day...peace.

Tszyu was a beast but he wouldn't be able to stand the pace Pac set. I think he'd do well picking Pac off with the right hand and smart counters a la Marquez but feel he'd be outworked over 12.
