    NEWFLASH: Tszyu calls out...

    Kostya Tszyu says he can no longer make junior welter. "If I do fight again it would be as a welterweight," Tszyu told Australian boxing writer Grantlee Kieza, "maybe against the winner of Sunday's fight between Floyd Mayweather and Zab Judah. I don't think it would be easy or wise for me to fight at junior welterweight again."
    Looks like another top name will be thrown into the hat of Welterweights. Tszyu vs Mayweather sounds interesting provided of course Tszyu is 100%.

    I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Glad to see Tszyu is coming back to boxing. The welterweight division is getting more dangerous everyday.

      He's not worthy to get a shot at the crown after a long layoff and loss. He would need to prove himself by fighting the loser of Saturday's fight and fight Gatti or Baldomir. Then maybe he can make an argument.

          Kostya knows he can beat Judah, all-day, everyday. He's probably not all that interested in fighting Mayweather at this late stage of his career. If Mayweather wins, which he should, then look for Kostya to keep dancing with the stars and all that.

            I don't know if Tszyu is fast enough to counter Mayweather at this point in his career, so its probably going to be a one sided UD, depending on what we see this Saturday from Mayweather.

              But Gatti is tailor made for Tszyu. If he can avoid Mayweather and Margarito, he might have a better chance against Mosely, Cotto and Hatton (he'll move up once the money fights leave the 140 lbs division).

                Don't know if he has time to wait he is 36 years old. I think a comeback fight against the winner of Gatti/Baldomir would be smart, but just throwing himself at winner of Judah/Mayweather after a long ring layoff woulden't be wise. He is guranteed to make his millions against Gatti at Atlantic City for sure.

                  A prime Tszyu vs Margarito would be a huge fight, I'd be betting on Tszyu somehow.
