Chavez vs. Tzsyu

[bpapa420]

Have you seen zoo's resume? It is very impressive!! He has fought and beat the best in his division. Nobody gave kostya a free pass. He wasnt hyped up like cotto. He earned everything he has by fighting and knocking out the best competition.

I'm not taking anything away from tszyu, but I think a prime chavez would have mopped the floor with tszyu...

[Great]

Prime Chavez-Kostya: everything that I know - would be excellent fight .

[SalvaDominicano]

yea chavez would have problems but if u see that fight he caught zoo with some nice shots and it he was in his prime it wouldve had so much more of an impact and chavez would have capitalized on it.

His resume isnt that impressive to me. Everyone sweats him and I think he is a good fighter but he is overated. Like I said Mitchell, and Judah havent beat anyone. Especially Mitchell. Chaves was old when they faught and he cleaned out the division but it was nothing compared to what it is now. He hasnt beat any of the new guys. Urkal gave him alot of problems. The division now has Harris, Gatti, Mayweather, Hatton, and Cotto. His resume is overated

prime chavez vs dlh(dlh would have been taken into deep water,late rounds, and killed)

prime pryor vs prime Kosta T...now that would have been heaven to watch and most boxing fans would have given there left nut to see this

Prime Chavez-Prime De La Hoya would be a great fight, but lets remember, a past his prime mover named Whitaker gave Chavez alot of trouble and made him look inferior for 12 rounds. What would a guy with comparable skills and superior punching power do to Chavez? Maybe blow him away if Chavez doesn't quit first? Aaron Pryor was simply too good for anyone fighter who ever weighed 140 lbs, he would've dismantled Kostya Tszyu, the stoppage would look similar to Mercer-Morrison. Chavez in his prime would get off the canvas and win a decision over Tszyu.

What about roger mayweather? I guess he was a bum also

[Ranger2408]

The decision for that fight was in question, i read ain interview today with mayweather where he said he won that fight against zoo ( i know they all say that)

Chavez too was passed his prime when he faced whitaker. He didnt have the stamina or drive anymore. It was easily apparent as he simply stopped throwing punches even when whitaker was there for Chavez to go to work. He simply didnt wanna work anymore.

As for what would someone with comparable skills and superior power do to Chavez. Tszyu hasnt proved as much especially in the skills department. Chavez in his prime faced fighters who were supposed to have superior power or skills in his career and he always demonstrated an ability to be smart and skilled enough to a)Stay within a range at which is opponents power would not be as effective while allowing himself to work, B) Evade the shots with good head movement and punch blocking and effectively counter-punch, C) And just plain taking the shots and coming back with damaging shots of his own.

as far as I'm concerned KT couldve stood in there with JCC, Duran, Pryor, or any of the other fighters from bbefore his time near his weight division. I cannot say who wouldve won those fights, but I believe KT wouldve been one of the best names on their records.
