I think Kostya Tszyu beats Manny Pacquiao styles make fights, Kostya Tszyu had trouble with swarming fighters like Ricky Hatton, Vince Phillips. But he was good at timing fast boxers like Sharmba Mitchelll, Zab Judah.Quote:

Uhh Kostya Tszyu wasn't exactly at his peak, and he had trouble with swarming fighters. If you actually watch Kostya Tszyu fights, he beat some very good fast Southpaw fighters. And was excellent at timing fighters at a mid-distance range.Quote:

elteriib...whatever you are the one who needs to take a good look in the mirror man honestly? "Pac hasnt even gotten into my top 20, im gonna go watch star trek now guys". Do you think I care about your top 20, 30, or whatever number you plan on going to? Thats about as irrelevant as Hatton is right now! Im not some fan who just jumped on Pacquiao's ban wagon after his last two fights. I still didnt get your list of Tsysu's top three most notable wins?? Im guessing the reason you didnt give it is because it isnt impressive! Im not acting like Pacquiao is a boxing God, just that he's at the top of his game right now and he would throttle Kostya Tsysu!
If the Hatton-Pacquiao fight never happened... Hatton wins by a knockout! Hurray!
If the DeLaHoya- Pacquiao fight did not happen... DeLaHoya wins by stoppage! Pandemonium!
Kostya-Pacquiao? Kostya by a knockout... absolutely!;D
Reality holds no secrets to the learned.
you're entitle to your opinion, but like you said, who gives a fuck about some Pacquiao fanboy's opinion, many will tell you the same i said, Manny isn't a top 20 p4p ATG, much less a top 10, i don't jump on any fighters bandwagon, i'm a fan of fighters but don't rule out the fact that they can lose to another fighter, and unlike some Pacquiao or Filipino fans in general (NOT ALL) never see one of them losing, Tszyu pretty much dominated the division for basically from 1997 to 2005, wins over Hugo Pineda, Zab Judah (when he was undefeated), Sharmba Mitchell, Julio Cesar Chavez (equivalent to PAC's over DLH), Roger Mayweather, Rafael Ruelas, Jessie James Leija, Ben TackieQuote:

Probably some form of inbreeding in his ancestry that means he is genetically programmed to behave like a dickQuote:

I prefer to discuss upcoming actual fights...

Vazquez improved dramatically under Roach, Hopkins beat Calzaghe, and Penalosa never stood a chacne against Lopez.Quote:

Vazquez for R. Marquez (first fight, seeing how i believe Vazquez changed trainers after that fight)
etc.
in a nutshell, Mickey Rourke is still making movies for a reason...
don't kid yourself Tszyu is a top 5 junior welter ATG, and IMO one of the best counter punchers ever, it would be a tough fight but i see him tagging Manny with the right all night, and yea Kostya was no spring chicken when he fought Hatton, and gettin his balls bashed didn't help much eitherQuote:

He leads with a strong jab and i think that would make the diff
