[FinitoElDinamita]

Who wins this matchup ay 140?

Tszue was more technically sound, I give him an edge

Shocking.. Can you give me an example of how Tszyu was more sound, technically?

He is "more sweet", he read bible, Marquez is talented, but Tszyu was God-gifted.


What else is needed?

[Master]

Tszyu smashes JMM around the ring with his bomb of a right hand. JMM survives to see the end of the fight on heart and determination.

This sort of thing makes me think of alot of different things and people around that weight in regards to who beat who and why as well. Unfair to decide on that though. I was thinking Hatton Jmm. Jmm Cotto. Floyds control of them all, in a comparison.

Kostya only got beat when a couple beat him at his own game and didnt get caught or timed with an unseen shot cause they were mentally like a rock and going to total war with him so every hit seen and expected.

Timing beats just gun speed for sure, Jmm had both and Kostya had more timing shifting into power .

Depends on who stayed the coolest and got smarter on the night as Jmm is evasively sound with instant counters so he could out point if he stayed level headed and kept moving, Id give it to KT in a last round stoppage though cause Jmm would at some stage want to bang it out too and that would take its toll.

I see this as pretty equal myself. Good post.

[THE THIRD MAN]

An injury free Tszyu from 1999-2001 smashes just about everybody at 140 including Pacman! He wouldn't catch Floyd, but the rest are made for him.

He KO's Marquez in 4 or batters him like Gonzalez by 10 (Marquez was easy to hit and although he survived 3 knockdowns in the first Pacquiao fight he would be lucky to survive one from Tszyu)

Same applies to Manny.

Floyd on the other hand counters Tszyu's greatest weapon, his ability to cut off the ring and land hard accurate accumulating punches.

Tszyu would lose a decision to Floyd at his peak.

I think we only saw glimpses of the best of Kostya Tszyu, we saw that from 1999-2001.
The Judah fight was telling in that Judah did all he could in the first round, he landed some good shots, but Tszyu was still there, he then went all cautious in the 2nd knowing he had already shown his cards and he didn't have a winning hand.

Tszyu was a stalker in the ring, brilliant at cutting off the ring and didn't waste punches, when he landed it had a debilitating effect... with fighters at times just trying to get to the end of the fight intact. More often than not they didn't, Marquez would not have made it to the end.

The near 2 year lay off affected him greatly and he was nullified by the younger Hatton, but those who under estimate Tszyu's abilities are making a mistake. I don't think Mosley or DLH underestimated him at all and both took a different path.

Tszyu is overrated, just take a look at his resume. Tszyu is probably P4P #1 in mythical matchups but who has he beaten to be regarded this high..

Marquez would beat him to the punch everytime to a decision victory.

I think Tszyu could time a right hand on Floyd’s chin and rock him enough for him to fight scared ensuring Kostya wins a decision.
