Reported yesterday in Australian newspapers, Kostya Tszyu would consider a big money fight against any of the top fighters at 147lb, i guess that means Cotto or Margarito if they win their upcoming fights.
If that doesn't happen perhaps Mosley would be an option?
Opinions? He is 38 in October.
I THINK HE'D NEED A TUNE UP FIGHT FIRST.
KT IS MY FAVOURITE FIGHTER BUT I DONT WANNA SEE HIM GET HURT.
I THINK THE FIGHT SHOULD BE IN OZ, COS HE NEVER REALLY HAD A BIG FIGHT IN HIS HOME COUNTRY.
hE SHOULD FIGHT MOSELY OUT OF YOUR OPTIONS.
I think we are both huge KT fans but i really don't want to see him make a fool of himself, Mosley might be the better go. I think he should forget about it.Quote:

But seriously u are right, he may be better off staying retired or figting another older champ. Castillo after the hatton fight, or imagine kt v katsidis at 140......
going off kostyas last fight. i'd say he could hang with cotto or margarito.
I think he would beat Margo but Cotto at this stage of his career could be trouble! Love to see him fight Mosley!!!Quote:

He's been away a long while now! If he chose to comeback he would definitely need a tune up or two.
I think Margarito would be his best option
Maragrito might be too big. I think Mosely is the option, KT has a good record against similiar size fast opponents.Quote:

Katsidis would be a great match-up, big name for Michaels record if he won.Quote:

In all reality I'd prefer Kostya to hang em up. He has nothing left to prove. He's already a probable Hall Of Famer!
I think he is done. As far as being an effective champion now.
I just wish he got some big fights between 97 and 2003. De la Hoya, Mosely, etc Would have been great.
If Tzyu is serious he needs a tune up fight first that is for sure. I don't think he could beat any of the big names at 147. Honestly people what the hell makes you think he could beat Margarito? I doubt he could hurt Margarito, and he damn sure couldn't outwork him to win a decision or try to outbox the bigger, longer reached Margarito, from the outside. Margarito would pound him pretty bad I think.
Margarito would CRUSH Tszyu,in 8 rounds MAX,and I'd bet a CC for everyday Im online. What silly nonsense,Tszyus weakenss was pressure,a la Phillips and Hatton,and Margarito is pure pressure,bigger,stronger. Tszyu was better v boxes but there is no reason for him to come back,he has nothing to prove. I don't think he could hang with the top 147pounders!Quote:

Why? Do you really think he could win that fight?Quote:

I still think a KT v Katsidis fight in oz would be huge. Both guys would make good money. If Katsidis wins he gets a big name on his win list, if he loses there is no shame in losing to a bigger Kostya. If Kt wins he gets a big win in his home town, if he loses he was beaten by a up and coming champ.
Also a possibility is a fight for a belt with Lovemore Ndou can beat Malignaggi. It would be a clash between naturalised australians and another big drawcard. Also i think Kt could still beat Lovemore if he can get down to 140.
yeah I think Tszyu -vs- Katsidis would be an intriguing match .Quote:
