    "Cool" Vince Phillips first gave him a beating, then knocked his as out in the 9th.

        I would not call it a beating. The fight was stopped in the 10th, with Phillips ahead on one card, KT ahead on another and the other card even at the time of stoppage

            i would call it tko but had the referee not stopped the fight it would be a beating. what's the difference anyway? the point is kosta could be knockout. how is floyd mayweather's knockout rate? sorry for all these questions. just breaking all these factors to see who would gain the upper hand in this match-up.

              I think we have to consider the size and strength difference...KT can be KO'd that we know, but can floyd do it is another question.
              KT can be hit cause he's got the terribly bad habit of dropping his hands after landing shots but I'm not sure floyd could hurt him. but I'm sure of the other way around

                Tszyu's loss to Phillips has no bearing on the fight with Mayweather. Tszyu faces stiff competition from a lot of 140 lbers, with Mayweather and Cotto especially.

                Tszyu still dominates all though. He's too strong and too precise.

                  if Tszyu can catch PBF with a right hand punch,I'd like to see how PBF will take that punch

                    Phillips fight was just poor conditioning, and Kostya recognized this problem and worked to train to prevent this from happening in the future. I think that Kostya needs to fight either Mayweather or Gatti to really secure his position in boxing history. I think the Mayweather fight will be best because Mayweather is undefeated.

                      If Mayweather is more offense (throw combo back up) he can frustrate Zoo. If he trade or sits on the ropes he is gonna be in trouble but i think he is to smart.
