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

[betmen]

But styles make fights, right?

it'll be style and tactical match-up if both fighters at the same level. but i dont rate crawford and tzyu at the same level. crawford's chin is still untested

it'll be tzyu-judah all over again. i give crawford several rounds more since he's not as ****y and ****** like judah, at the end tzyu will still catch him.

Idk, Crawford took some shots from Postol.

Im not saying KT was a bad fighter he was a great fighter, why I said watch the Lopez fight is because he shows the blueprint as to why Phillips and Hatton beat him, if you put early Floyd Oscar Mosley etc in those fights they would blast Lopez and Phillips outa there.

Like I said KT was hell of a fighter I actually was ringside in his first pro fight against Darrel Hiles on a Jeff Fenech card, Ive always believed he was over rated and made out to be something he wasn't, another fighter that gave him heaps of trouble was Jessie Leija until he got a broken ear drum mid fight and it was stopped that was going to be a good fight and in spurts Jessie gave him all he could handle.

Top fighter yes, but I don't think he could live with the likes of Floyd Oscar or Mosley.

He sure did fine with Vernon Forrest.

Yeah he did in the amateurs, never would have guessed Vince Phillips had his number in the pros, I never would have thought he would quit either but he did.

Kosta would murk the whole 147 lb division.

Thurman and Spence are bad match ups for him.

Zoo is one of my favourite fighters ever. He was the man in a strong division. He was legit. He wasn't just about the power either, he was also seriously skilled technically.

But he isn't a true great, because he had a stylistic weakness. It meant that he lost to lesser fighters. He could rule a division in most eras, but never for too long - he'd come across someone with stylistic kryptonite and be made to quit on his stool again.

Like Roberto Duran.

I regard Tszyu about as highly as anyone, but Crawford would be a tough fight for him. I could see an older, restrained Tszyu winning a decision, but younger one might walk into some shots.

I'd love to have seen him fight a number of guys at 140-147. It is a shame Floyd ducked him.

Like Roberto Duran.

Like lots of guys would, Vince Phillips beat him for crying out loud, Hector Lopez nearly beat him and he quit on his stool, good fighter but some of the stuff in here is just rubbish from fanyboys that think the grass is always greener back in time.

If the internet was available then was like it is now you would not have all these legends because the fanboys of the day would chop them down with fanboy logic like they do to every elite fighter today, its much hard to to be truly recognized today than in years gone by.
