That's what I was about to say (Tszyu), he's turned into a real darkhorse now.
Yeah, i know little on Tszyu but i have noticed him take a backseat after his loss.
Hell, look at the people Floyd is fighting at the moment...
I would put Kostya Tszyu above Sharmba Mitchell any day of the week. He has a rep for that right hand too, and if people are bringing Zab Judah into the equation, where is the love for Tszyu?
I'm just kidding around. I actually like Zab and now have changed my pick, favoring Zab...slightly. I think the southpaw stance will be a factor, Zab has had experience dealing w/ adversity in the ring in major fights and changed for the better. As always no matter what style , one has to work the jab to make everything else work. Man if Zab starts to pop w/ that jab that left hand straight down the pipe is gonna be partying come fight night.
Frazier beat Ali with pressure. Dwight Braxton beat Matthew Saad Muhammad with pressure. Basilio beat Robinson with pressure. Pressure busts pipes.
You have to take Floyd out of his comfort zone. Rough him up. Hit him low here and there. Cuff him behind the head. Make him fight when he doesn't want to fight and don't let him ever get set.
It's simple really. That shoulder roll defence won't work against a fighter like Hatton who has a very strong right hand.
Zab is younger and willing to be more active than Tszyu, and isn't riddled with injuries. And while Kosta's win over Zab was rather humerous, to me it didn't prove much, except that Zab was an idiot for trying to get up too quickly.
