Zab and Floyd have similarities, but they're not that similar. Where they are similar is in their raw physical abilities, basically they both have great hand and foot speed.
But when it comes to actual boxing techniques, there are some pretty big differences. First is the most obvious, which is that Judah is a southpaw, and southpaws are always more vulnerable to straight right hands. It would be much more difficult for Tszyu to land a big right hand on Floyd than Zab.
And Zab, for all his skills, has never been able to use his athleticism to avoid big punches, not just against Tszyu but against any legit fighter.
Mayweather has the most refined defensive technique is all of boxing. He hasn't been able to avoid big punches his whole career because of luck, it's because of skill.
Whatever.....the point i was trying to make is, you cannot say Mayweather would beat Tszyu simply because Hatton did. I agree Mayweather has the ability to outbox anyone.....and Kostya would be no exception.
