How would kosta tsyzu do in the current 140 division

[Canelo Phresh]

Prime Kostya beats everyone, not sure about Lucas though

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

prime judah did the chicken dance with tszyu.

Styles make fights but I have to agree. Prime Tszyu is on a completely different level with the current crop.

A focused Judah would have beaten K

Judah couldn't take Tszyu's right hand, and it would have landed eventually. Stop making excuses.

I think a Judah rematch would be interesting.

Khan gets KOd. Garcia gets KOd. Bradley wins a wide decision. Bradley is too versatile and hella durable. I think tzyu would land his best shots and get discouraged because Bradley has a helluva chin.

Lucas brutally stops him. I hate how people pretend Lucas is nothing more then a Maidana with more power. Its not true Lucas actually is a solid boxer. His ability to cut off the ring, go to the body, set up his punches and somewhat counter effectively is pretty damn impressive. He's surely more then just a power puncher.

He would be facing prime fighters, and that was Kostya's achilles heal pretty much his whole career.

If Judah couldn't take Kostya's right hand, then Kostya couldn't take Cool Vince Phillips right hand either.

This is Kostya when pressured and hit back...! Knocked down in first link, and stoppage in the second link.

No criticism. Peep Kostya's style and how he is so straight up with chin in the air.

Being hit to the body and terrible infighting were Kostya's flaws.

How quickly people forget. At his best, beats everyone at 140 today, Matthyse included.

Tszyu matches up well with the current guys, at his best he would have Ko'd most of them. I think he would have outboxed Mattysse, but that would be a dangerous fight, the reason why I like Tszyu over him is because, it's actually a compliment to Lucas that he brings educated smart pressure, but to beat Tszyu you needed to be reckless and bring animal type pressure at the risk of being KO'd. I think in this fight Tszyu at his best would have time to get off and pick Mattyysse off with hard shots. Vince Phillips upset Tszyu, but probably shortened his own life in the process, I think it was one of those situations where Tzsyu may have overlooked him a little, but he was also a little more rangy and an extremely hard hitting jww like Matthysse.

Tzsyu vs Garcia would be a tough fight also, I would expect some knockdowns and both guys being hurt, but Tzsyu had faster hands and through straighter and hit that bit harder with more accuracy, I expect those things to make the difference. Garcia has a chance in this fight, but Kostya was better period.

Bradley is the guy I think gives him the most problems, because he has fast hands and he can go in there and be an animal, and swarm Tzsyu and give him no time to think. He also has an unbelievable chin and powers of recovery so yeah lots of qualities to get the job done. Prime vs prime I expect a see-saw battle and I will sit on the fence on this one.

Good post. This is basically how I see it.
