Tszyu deal to fight Oscar

[Silverfox]

hahahahahaah! De La Hoya. Man this guy is out of order!!! Other boxers are retiring after such a loss against Hopkins. Sorry but that fight is a big joke. DLH will loose clearly.

I agree totally. DLH is washed up. Sturm gave him a hiding and was robbed of the decision!

[Silverfox]

two things
1 sven ottke is a fraud
2 hatton will kill kostya before he ever gets to de la hoya and if he does get that far dlh will destroy him pretty fast.

Gotta disagree. DLH should hang up his gloves!

I feel Oscar would use his superior size and be able to beat KT. Comparing the Strum or Hopkins fight to a potential KT matchup is apples and oranges. Oscar would be the bigger and yes, stronger fighter in this one. I can't believe the lack of respect Oscar still gets.

Oscar by tko

this opinion has nothing to do with any disrespect to KT. He is a great fighter as well. The old addage is good big man beats good little man.

This fight has a lot to do with how DLH copes with coming back down to 147.

my question is this.....how big is boxing in austrailia? is kostya as popular in austrailia as pac-man is in the filipines? i only ask because i don't know. not to be a smart ass or anything like that. i love kostya tszyu.

Don't worry, boxing here in Australia isn't really huge, but Kosta Tszyu IS. So any fight in Australia will be packed out if Kosta is fighting. Just like the Leija fight, where 60000 packed the Telstra Dome to watch.

1. Agreed, Ottke is the epitome of fraud.
2. Disagree, Frank Warren knows he can't beat Sharmba Mitchell, thats why Hatton has missed so many chances to fight him, what makes you think he has any better of a chance at beating Tszyu. Warren is asking the fight to be fought in Manchester, shows his confidence.. (fighting in a packed Manchester stadium, is not an excuse, as a fight in the states will ensure bigger exposure and larger purses later on)

I actually think both Mayweather and DLH would kill K.T. @ 147lbs

Really? I agree a fight at 147 with DLH is to Zoo's disadvantage, but I think the opposite about Mayweather. PBF has a real chance at beating Zoo at 140, but at 147 I can't see it happening....he is too small and the added weight won't help him. Zoo at 147 should actually have more power and it shouldn't affect the way he moves. Just thought it was interesting, why do you think PBF would fare better at 147?

[pinkpanther]

I'm sorry but Zoo would batter Gatti, the fight with DLH would be a good one - hard to call, Mayweather would be a good fight but I think Zoo might have to much power for him and Hatton well, they say styles make fights - IMO Zoo has to stop Hatton thats the only way he's going to win - theres a good possibility he might as Hatton hangs his left low and we all know about Zoo's right hand, but if it goes the distance theres only one winner, Zoo just won't be able to live with Hatton's work rate.

Let's hope it's not another bull**** to make noise about dlh once more...I would favor KT to beat him but what a fight it would be anyway!!

You stated that Mayweather is too small for 147 and Kostya isnt when PBF is 5'8" with a 72" reach, while K.T. is 5'7" with a 67" reach, PBF has 32w 21ko's 0 lost and 0 draws
and
K.T. has 31W 25ko's 1 lost 0 draws

Basically PBF will be the bigger man and has great skills, he has shown it over and over again in the ring,look what he did to Corrales. I know Corrales is no K.T. but hell he was at the top pf his game.

Now DLH, need I say more? 5'10.5" 147lbs, still great speed and can take punches by the best and harder hitters that K.T., Vargas,Tito,Campas etc... Speed will be there again @ 147 and he will be the stronger better boxer
