Does Mayweather Really Have A Chance Against Tsyzu?

[bigdlb12]

As a puncher....I firmly believe Kostya Tszyu IS NOT as big a puncher as the 130lb Diego Corrales who fought Mayweather.

But....Tszyu is BETTER than Corrales. He's bigger also, & up at these higher weights, Mayweather has become more hittable.

Mayweather would have to be as "on" for Tszyu as he was for Corrales.
I don't know if that's possible for Floyd at this point.

how about PBF vs Corrales 2? Do you still think it will have the same outcome?

That's a good question.

I don't know if Floyd has it in him to give that type of performance again. I also think he could be quite overconfident, which would be dangerous against a one-punch killer like Chico.

How would Corrales approach a rematch ? Is it possible he'd be unable to get past the way he was OWNED in the first fight ? Is he still owned by Floyd ?

Are you crazy, that fight will be 10x more dominant this time. I get the impression that alot of you think Floyd is not as good as he was, but he is actually better then he's ever been because in his last 2 fights he is more offensive. Chico got ouboxed by Frietas the whole fight until the end. What do you think Floyd will do to him. It would be a early KO. He is way to slow now and Floyd is much more offensive. This is by far the easiest fight for Floyd

Mayweather's chin hasnt been up to a good test,Castillo hits hard but he is no K.T., K.T. will be a good test for him,if Mayweather can take his punches then I can see a UD win over K.T. but since Kostya has great power, the whole fight will keep me on the edge of my seat

I say let mayweather fight S.Mitchell first then K.T. if he wins

Why would Floyd have to fight Mitchell first. Who the hell is he. Floyd has already proven himself and is a #for# fighter. People give Zoo to much credit for beating him. Who has Mitchell ever beat and he was KO by Stevie Johnston. After he lost to Zoo he beat bums and everyone tried to make it seem like he was the best besides Zoo. Look at who he beat after Zoo: Tackie after Zoo beat him, old Vince Phillips, Vilches, N'Dou who was a journeyman and many thought won, and a couple of other bums. He was a fraud and Zoo gets to much credit for that win

Does Mayweather Really Have A Chance Against Tsyzu?

I've heard it said before by many people that they think Mayweather might be able to outpoint Tsyzu. Mayweather is a highly skilled defensive boxer no doubt. But can he last if Tszyu lands a shot on him? We all know how hard Tszyu hits. I'm unbiased about this, so give your opinions.

The one thing I like about floyd is his ability to step up and combine good defense and offense and use his opponents strenghts against him. I think he understimated corley and fought a dumb fight against him, but he has beat some of the better fighters out there even on his bad nights. Tszyu/Mayweather would be a great fight, but I have mayweather coming out on top in this one. I woulnd't mind seeing mayweather and cotto. I would pay money to see that one...I think cotto would knock floyd the **** out...

I don't think my post warranted that kind of response.

Did you see the part about Floyd "owning" Corrales ?

I would make Floyd a huge favorite over Corrales. So, relax a little bit.

what i realized about chico is that since he moved up, he can take better punches.

chico should move up i think, because he's like 6'1, so he could go all the way to the heaveyweight division if he wants. he should at least go to welterweight.

heres one for you, Mayorga vs Chico at 147. Chico's first fight at 147, and Mayorga's comeback fight at 147??

I gotta take Mayorga on that one

Allthough it is nice to see Floyd more offensive in recent fights that may not be a good thing for Floyd. He was hit with some big shots against Corley, shots that he can't afford to get hit with by Zoo. I understand he will fight that fight differently but he needs to remember why he is as good as he is and it is not because of his offense.

Floyd will kill Diego...I maybe the biggest Diego hater on this board, I think he is way overblown...his power is definately legit but against a mover (Frietas doesn't count)he looks out of his element. If Diego fought Casamayor 10 times he would lose 8 of them...in the second fight he did not look like a puncher at all-he hung on by the hairs of his chinny chin chin to win that one-it could have gone either way.

Diego will be punished against JL.

You act like Floyd has a glass jaw. So what if he hits Floyd. He hasnt KO everyone. He didnt KO Tackie, Leija, or Urkal, and Harris KO Urkal. Floyd has never been down. He can take a punch and he will be scoring alot. People always make it sound like the whole fight will be Floyd running until he gets hit and then its over. The guy is a undefeated #for# fighter. He is the best defensive, the fastest, and the most versatile fighter in the sport. If you think that Zoo will just walk threw him then your crazy. He hurt fast fighters like Mitchell and Judah but they were lefties with no chin and no D. He has more problems with right handers

i believe you mean vitali has never been down... floyds mit touched the canvas vs hernandez which is ruled as knockdown in this sport

He never got hit. He touched the canvas because he hurt his hand
