    I'd love to see him fight Mayweather.

      The thing is, Tszyu's never been out-boxed in his life.. that's what makes it interesting.

          Judah and Mayweather, one after the other would be the ultimate.

            Honestly, a fight with Floyd would make very little sense at this stage in their respective careers.

            For Mayweather it'll be taking a step backwards.

            For Kostya, he'd be fighting a fight he couldn't win.

            A rematch with Judah at 147 is far more interesting, and I think would be far more competitive.

              A step backwards from average journeyman Carlos Baldomir to fight the best 140lber ever, infact the best ever amateur or pro.. ofcourse.

              And Tszyu would have nothing to lose, fighting the best in the sport having been inactive for five years.

                Tszyu in his prime could have possibly, maybe even would have beaten Mayweather...Tszyu was much faster and elusive back in the day, but as he got older, he got slower, and stiff.

                Tszyu would have to try and make a fight at 147 with Ricky Hatton or don't bother coming back.


                I am just not sure how good your stamina can be in your mid 30's as a boxer.

                Your prime is usually before 32.

                    Tszyu, it's difficult to see the guy beaten if you try to box him. He gets 9 out of 10 in timing, 9 out of 10 in counter-punching, 9 out of 10 in ring generalship, 9 out of 10 in accuracy, sure he's abit flat-footed and uses a wide stance, and sure he doesn't use as much great left hand work as he used to due to injuries, but Mayweather is not a pouncing fighter.. and ofcourse, Kostya has that laser right hand that strikes as hard as a middleweight's punch, if you give him time and allow him to extend his elbow (which Hatton didn't), you cannot overlook Kostya's punching power.

                      I think Floyd would consider it too if he can't get a fight with Oscar.

                      Floyd has always respected Tszyu so it would be an interesting fight, agree...especially since I think that Tszyu should of moved up to 147 long ago...the problem is Tszyu's age and the fact that he has been injured so many times that it seems his body is rejecting the grueling workouts/fights.

                      Tszyu was on the decline well before the Hatton fight, but he has always been good enough to figure out a way to win, at least most of the time.
