Pac Vs Tsysu in their primes at 140

[THE THIRD MAN]

Kosta Tszyu was a master at adapting during a fight to counter his opponents style, so this would be very interesting imo. I am one of those that thinks Tszyu was awesome, but slightly overrated, I don't think his opposition was great.

I actually see Pac winning this one!

Almost 50% of Tszyu's fights were against World Champions, i think he fought 16 of them! And You think his opposition is not great? Puzzling? His first World Champion win was against Juan La Porte in only his 4th pro fight!!
I don't think we ever saw the best of Tszyu but i urge you to have another look at his wins over Miguel Angel Gonzalez and Zab Judah, both fighters beaten at their peaks!
It was not Tszyu's fault he was sidestepped by DLH and Mosley!!

Credit for beating Zab, but I think it's fair to say Zab aint going down as an ATG. Gonzales was another good win but he had already been soundly beaten by DLH and just drawn with an ancient JCC.

Losses to Hatton and Philips also don't help his resume. His opposition was sound and good, but if we are talking about being an all time great, his best win is against Zab Judah! Tszyu probably is an all time great and he can only beat who is put in front of him, but you can't say that his opposition was phenomenal by any stretch of the imagination

Well, i guess we will have to agree to disagree on the Tszyu opposition argument, fighting 16 World Champions in your career is a mighty fine effort IMO. A lot of fighters have losses on their resumes that puts them under a cloud, Pacquiao is no exception, DLH and Mosley have losses that should not be there too, it happens to most fighters. Should Mosley have lost to Forrest twice? He was losing to Raul Marquez until it was declared NC! Chavez was 35 when he drew with Gonzalez, hardly ancient and had only lost twice in his career before that fight. Pacquiao is fresh in everyones mind right now and Tszyu was at his best 9- 10 years ago, judgements are bound to be in favour of the most recent fighter. I just think Manny's style would be tailor made for Tszyu and would not have caused him to many problems, i base that on Pacman's two fights with Marquez, both fights i think he lost.
