Re: Mayweather-Tszyu at 147
Floyd's speed trumps.
There's no way Tszyu could deal with that kind of speed at this point.
And if Tszyu comes into the fight without 100% of his heart into it, Floyd will push you into a huge discouragement hole.
And once you start falling into that hole, he buries you in there.
I don't see good things for Tszyu here.

He is a lot stronger than PBF and he does specialize in beating slick boxers, but how would he handle Floyds speed. I think that this would be a great fight, but id like to see Tszyu take a tune up first cause hes been sooo inactive in recent years.
Floyd would beat Tszyu badly right now in the game... even at their primes he would beat Tszyu just because he so much faster. Just look at the first round with Judah then put in a guy more skilled and a little faster and thats what happens to Tszyu all night.
Re: Mayweather-Tszyu at 147
Maybe Tszyu will suprise us all. He's been dancing for over a year now, maybe by the Autumn he will come back and be like Sugar Ray Robinson? This might actually be his secret training program.
He could back all fleet footed and duck and dance and jive his way around the ring and PBF just won't be able to get near him, like in Rocky 3 when Apollo completely changed Rocky Balboa, and told him he was going to make him move like a black man, and we all saw what he did to Clubber Lang afterwards, KO 3rd round!
Could that happen in real life?
Re: Mayweather-Tszyu at 147
All you think kostya got old against hatton? He didnt get old, IMO it was a combination of ring rust and hattons questionable tactics. This judah low blow thing has seen people get pretty upset yet none of them gave a shit when hatton delivered a HUGE low blow to kostya. Kostya actually looked like he might be coming back, he had won the last 2 rounds or something and then BANG there went all of his momentum and his ability to stay on his feet. A low blow like that doesnt go away within 5 mins....it dont go away in a day. There was no way kostya could win after that low blow and i wish some people would realise that although boxing is a brutal game...rough housing tactics should not be tolerated. Hatton fans told me over and over again and im sure they will again that boxing is not a tickling contest....well let me put it this way, it aint a tickling contest but it has rules and on that morning Hatton broke several. Argue about kostyas "low blows" if ya want but i realised long ago that they were no where near hattons balls, they hit the top of his trunks which were around his belly button so unless hatton had balls in his stomach then they werent low but after hattons low blow im sure kostya had his balls in his fucking throat. PBF isnt that kinda fighter, he wouldnt dare try and pressure kostya the way hatton did and wouldnt foul him all night. It would be a classic boxing match!
Oh i know im getting flamed for bringing up this old stuff but all of you americans and brits are complaining about judahs low blow when hattons was far worse. Talk about double standards, everything is alright i guess as long as you win.
Re: Mayweather-Tszyu at 147
Prime Kostya, I'd go with him,he loves fighting guys that give him time to think. Now,even though this fight is probably unlikely to happen,if it did, I would go with Mayweather but certainly not confidently. Tszyu is one of those intelligent, thinking type fighters,and the question is would Mayweather be able to take Tszyu's rocket launcher? Tszyu is also waaaay bigger than Floyd and looks stronger too and who knows, Tszyu may make Floyd come to him rather than stalk him?
Re: Mayweather-Tszyu at 147
I'm suprised there has never been any talk of a rematch with Hatton. I can't think of many undisputed champions who on losing didn't invoke a rematch clause........

I dont believe tszyu has ever put a rematch clause into a big fight. He likes to think whats done is done but this hatton fight got to him, i know it. I aksed him on a live chat if hed like a rematch with hatton a while ago and he said if he decided to fight then hed love one but said it would be unlikely as hattons management wouldnt want the fight.

A beating like the one Hatton gave him is not a fight your usually involved in and i think KT has taken time out, to regroup and maybe come back fresher and look for one big money fight maybe Dela Hoya or Mayweather, but Tszyu had never had a beating like that before and it must of took a hell of a lot out of him, did you see his face after the fight ouch!! It looked like he had a zorro mask round his eyes he was that black.

People can say that he quit but how many men would you know to take that kind of beating and still fight on. Kostya fought on longer then most people would imo considering that rocket launcher of a low blow he took.

You wrote that backwards, Floyd would definately outbox Tszyu, for a UD.
I would seriously doubt it.
