I agree with every point you make here.
Tszyu was a great champion and much more than just a puncher. And Tszyu would've been the biggest challenge of Floyd's career at that point.
I just think Tszyu would have lost to a younger, much faster, and more well-rounded fighter like Floyd. I've always thought 140 was actually Floyd's most natural weight class and I wish he had stayed there a little longer.
