Kostya Tszyu vs Gennady Golovkin if everything was equal

[Sheldon312]

These guys are basically a mirror image of one another. Both are good at fighting at a distance, cutting off the ring, one-punch knockout power, and text book footwork. If Kt was a natural Middleweight would he be able to beat GGG?

Easy, I got K. Zu!

Gennady Golovkin takes him to the supermarket.

Why? They are basically the same with Tszyu being a little more versatile

I'm pretty sure as human beings they enjoy the company of like minded people?

Tszyu didnt have GGG's chin.

KT still had a solid chin.

Gennady no problem. Kostya lost to a journeyman was koed cold. He was also ran over by hatton. Kostya never fully transitioned to the pros. He needed to get a mexican or american coach.

GGG is more well rounded. he's got a stronger left hand. better defense and better chin. more power too.


Tszyu is faster though. even in his old age he caught up to Judah early. that's a feat. nobody caught up to Judah early, not even Floyd.

Looking at both I think the opposite. I agree with defense though. I think Tszyu was a hell of a lot more accurate and he was better at imposing his will on his opponents. If a middleweight version KT was in there with Canelo, I think he would've stopped Canelo.
