Hard to say for me,since Tszyu did lose to some high pressure fighters.

Prime chavez would have won, imo.

chavez was high pressure..but his hand speed was much slower then vince philips and ricky hatton..plus tszyu was overall stronger then chavez

JCC in his prime would beat Kostya. JCC had a chin of steel and punished boxers with pressure and body shots. JCC was old when he fought the much younger, fresh Kostya.

i still think KT would have beat JCC.....it would have been more competitive yes, but i would still say KT..

JCC would have won, stopped him in about the ninth. He had the exact style to beat Tszyu, and if Vince Phillips can beat a prime Tszyu then a prime JCC definitely could have. People that stand off Tszyu - Judah, Mitchell (MAYWEATHER!?!?!), play right into his hands by standing right in the pocket where he can land his power shots. JCC would have been more like Hatton. Not an easy win, but a win for JC Superstar none the less

I see Zoo landing more shots on Chavez...but taking fewer but harder shots in return, like what Meldrick Taylor did to Chavez. If Chavez doesn't KO Zoo, Zoo wins by UD.

So...it's hard to say, for me, who'd win. I would lean towards Chavez though since his body attack would slow down almost anyone.

How about Prime Chavez vs Prime Oscar dela Hoya?

Chavez breaks down Tszyu and stops him. What HAtton better than Chavez...huh? Handspeed has nothing to do with this either.

Chavez was a ****ing tank in his prime. He'd kill Kostya's body early and would land big shots upstairs sending Tszyu to sleep inside of 10. Tszyu isn't durable enough to hang with Chavez for 12.
