    How would kosta tsyzu do in the current 140 division

    Interested to hear how you guys think Kosta would do vs the current 140 crop of fighters...

    I like kosta alot but his 140 division was kinda weak, he did have some great wins and handled business.


    I do think kosta would own the current 140 guys, especially khan, garcia, and peterson,,,
    I do think lucas could be his vince phillips and catch kosta with something huge and put him out...
    Just my opinion

    Please discuss

    Far more skilled then every current 140 guy, Khan would give him trouble for a few rounds before being kod. Matth has a punchers chance but would most likely lose imo Bradley would have given him a decent fightt though the 140 version

      Some of these guys would have a real shot but id have to start Kostya Favourite against any one of them at his best.

        Yeah Bradley at 140 was tough to beat and maybe be able to smother and outwork Tzsyu like hatton did, but i dont think bradley has the pop of hatton 2005, plus i think a prime KT circa 99-02 would be too much.....but would have liked to see that fight..

        Also would have loved to seen KT vs JMM.. that would be a technical war!!!!

          Let's be real about this, if Judah hadn't got careless and c.ocky the outcome would have been different. The fact Vince Phillips not only beat Tsyzu, Phillips stopped him. Says a lot about it.

            Watching Kostya land a clean shot on Khan's chin would be comedy gold.

              Are you saying KT is overrated... I sometimes think that...but i think he would have gotten to judah sooner or later.... and it was sooner....

                I would not say he was overrated, but Phillips showed when a boxer sticks to their discipline and be patient, KT can be made to look ordinary. Judah was not discipline.

                  old judah did decent with garcia and matthysse, and finished the fight with both.

                  prime judah did the chicken dance with tszyu.
