Shane Mosley vs. Kostya Tsyzu at 140: Who would have really won?

[sonicman]

Tszyu beat Mosley as an amatuer, but we all know that amatuer victory's don't mean much when it comes to the pros.

I'm a fan of both fighters, and I really think this would've been a great match-up.
If this fight happened around 99-00, I think Mosley probably would've won either by late stoppage or a close decision on the cards, but I can't rule out a Tszyu stoppage or victory either...

mosley was too quick..to aggresive....i say he knocks tszyu out...tszyu got lucky..he didnt have to fight de la hoya or mosley or he would have lost

[SUPER ZAB FAN]

I would like to ask. For those who voted "Tszyu by K.O."......give me what you are smoking please. This fight is a clear mismatch if they fought at 140 in their primes.

I dont think Tszyu would have knocked him out . Mosley has a chin of granite .

The knockdown he suffered at the hands of Vernon Forrest was one of the cleanest upper cuts i ever saw . He wendown but never was floored .

For those people who think Mosley will have an easy night and stop Tszyu. Who has ever ran through Kostya Tszyu for you to think that?

I agree that Mosley wins but there is no way he is going to come out of it without any signs of being in an actual fight. Like I said yesterday nobody just runs through Kostya Tszyu.

sonicman - you can NEVER rule out a tszyu stoppage. NEVER!!!!

when mosley was 135 he was on the p4p list. tszyu wasnt even considered at that time.

I agree that Mosely would take punishment too, but he would beat Tszyu. Mosely at lighter weights was just too strong overall and too quick with his hands.

We know Tszyu wasn't made of steel either. Hurtado dropped him half a dozen times and stunned him with a good hook to the body.

Mosely by late TKO or decision, with Moselys handspeed and physicality being the deciding factors in the fight.

Moselys chin is nowhere near top 5 in the biz either. Toney/Morales/Castillo/McCullough/VKlit/Mayorga/Nard/Johnson...all take a better beating than Mosely in my estimation.
