Kostya Tszyu vs. Randall Bailey

[Spicoli]

Go Tszyu but as with anyone vs Bailey I can see him in serious trouble first. I'd give Bailey a punchers chance vs a Greyhound bus. Tszyu wasn't exactly hard to miss with a sharp and fast right hand but Baileys legs and staying close would cost him dearly in the end. I remember Hurtado coming in on 2 weeks notice and shocking Kostya with sneak right hands for KD's but he was getting hammered the entire time.

Hurtado also stopped Bailey back then.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Big punchers always have a chance, it all depends on whether or not their opponent gives them one. Tszyu was in a different class to Bailey.
Tszyu had extraordinary ring skills, he knew how to cut you off, he would stalk his opponent and didn't waste punches. Quite often he would systematically wear you down with continuous precision punching (see Miguel Angel Gonzalez)

[Master]

I was a fan of Miguel Angel Gonzalez but Kostya put the best beat down on him I have seen for a very long time.

Vince Philips hit Tszyu with right hands all night long, but Kostya quit fighting so square up after that and became a much better fighter.
