Are you joking ?? you can't be serious ??

Nearly 40 year old Tszyu who has only had 5 fights in 6 years and has never fought at Welterweight but you would give him good chance against Mayweather, Cotto, what the ??
Tszyu's just turned 38, he was in his prime at 35, besides styles make fights, he beats boxers, with surgical precision. You have to be a real conoisseur to understand that timing will beat speed, if only Tszyu had faught Mayweather instead of Hatton, boxing would have such a different landscape.
Tszyu in his prime at 35 ?? now i know your only saying that because he fought your favorite fighter Hatton when he was 35 no way on this earth was Tszyu in his prime at 35 with all the long lay off's your so biased.

If Tszyu would of fought Mayweather he would of got a boxing lesson you are right that timing does beat speed but not all the time because Mayweather is so good on the defensive aswell as speed that you can't just catch Mayweather with one big shot you have to put your punches together.
I have to agree with ICB, while Kostya pulled off a grand recovery prior to the Hatton fight...he surely wasn't in his prime.

Prime is always subjective. I think Kostya's prime was from 1999 to 2003...but I aint a Kostya fan...I'm just going off of his showings.
