    prime "zoo" has never beat anybody any good..the best wins on his record are a GREEN zab judah..worst chin in boxing shambra mitchell..and a 40 year old julio chavez

      i dont know what mitchells chin has to do with anything considering he quit on his stool in the first fight (o and if u r only referring to the second fight when he got the tko in 3, well maybe we can give some credit to tszyu seein as it took mayweather 6 rounds) zab judah came into there fight considered unbeatable with a perfect record, the future of the division and prime.(kostya knocked him out in two. something that no one has managed since, no not even floyd.) he hung with hatton for 11 rounds with a busted shoulder out of peak. jesse james and tackie werent exactly bums. even oktay urkul had a perfect record until he met tszyu. julio may have been passed it but kostya still gets credit for being the second person to knock him out in 110 fights. come on man. dont tell me he hasnt fought n e body.

        all im saying is he hasnt beat anybody who fights as good as cotto..i think judah is better then cotto NOW but not that skinny big head judah that tszyu fought..prime tszyu vs cotto would be a awesome fight but i doubt tszyu would blow him out of the water

          Green??? It was the 6th defence of his title & that's the best Zab's ever looked against a fighter with a pulse.....until the 2nd round.LMAO.

          Explain to me how a fighter who just "paws with the jab and looks for the big right" has the amateur and pro record that Tszyu has.

          He was fighting former world title challengers in something like his 4th or 5th pro fight, he won the title in his 14th pro fight and he ruled the division for 10 years. Tszyu's probably the greatest LWW of all time. Your boy Zab's probably the biggest ***** of all time.

            I'd take Cotto on this one, although its not the fight i'd choose for him at 147 (Collazo if you're interested). However, people on here are horribly underrating Tszyu's boxing skills. Did you see him box circles round vernon forrest in the amateurs? You don't do that without a fair amount of boxing skill.

            I think he'd win because of tzsyu probably being a bit washed up now, especially after the damage he absorbed in the Hatton fight and his subsequent inactivity.

              Tszyu is a good fight with nice striaght right.

              I think he is one of the few who could beat Maweather because it his punchs strong and fast, very good reflex and great finisher.

              I seen some of his fight and HL he could stop his punch midway and change direction and that is Tsyzu ultimate weapon.

                what are you talking about?? first, since when did mitchell have the worse chin in boxing?? i've seen worse... zoo destroyed rodriguez to win the title and also murdered ruelas, MAG(who oscar couldnt stop), hurtado, zab, mitchell... zoo cleaned out the division, unified the titles and only he and hopkins were the only 2 to do so at the time...

                      i would buy it to see how much tszyu has fallen in ability (if he has) plus it could make a very interesting match
