Where would Kostya Tszu rank in today's 140 pound division.

Haha. He is? Well, I hadn't noticed. And what makes him the more "special" fighter?

I like Crawford but he's got a ways to go to compare with Tszyu.

So Crawford isn't the more skilled fighter? I'm pretty sure Crawford would stop Hatton who was nothing but a glorified Ricky Burns.

He would run it, period.

Crawford: WBO, WBC, Lineal & Ring
Kostya: WBA, IBF...

Tszyu would knock Indongo or Burns into next week. Hell, he'd beat them both at the same time.

I'd slightly favour Crawford in the tough one. If he adjusts after the first six rounds, he would pull a close one out.

I agree with this, Kostya also had a world of problems with the average tough guy Hector Lopez and Kostya never had a defining fight he missed Oscar Mosley Floyd etc, he also got beat by Vince Phillips and never once wanted to to rematch Philiips and then quit on his stool against Hatton who both Floyd and Manny stopped.

I think KT was a really good fighter but he was over rated.

Haha. Hey, I'm not a Hatton fan but he was much better than Burns and he fought Tszyu at the end. You really shouldn't base an opinion on a fighter on his last fight. I'd recommend watching his fight against Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Rafael Ruelas and Diobelys Hurtado. Dude was a killer.

What makes you think that?

So Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Rafael Ruelas and Diobelys Hurtado is the big test, being a killer of contenders is one thing losing to B grade guys like Phillips is another.

I know some **** about boxing thats why I think that. I know everyone is high on crawford and he is an excellent fighter but Kostya takes his dookie cutter prison style.

You would favor Floyd over KT but not Crawford even though Crawford has a similar style to Floyd's.

Phillips had a damn good right hand and Tszyu was too open at the time for sure and yes, Phillips got the better of him. Those guys were good contenders. And are you forgetting the Judah fight?
