How come Mayweather never fought Kostya Tsysu

[Andre]

I always wondered why there wasn't any negotiations!

Maybe because Floyds spell at 140 was when Tszyu was having a lot of injury troubles?

Or was it that Tszyu battered uncle Roger for 12 rounds and he didn't want Floyd facing him at that point in his career?

Personally I think that Floyd would have outpointed Tszyu, but at that time I would have gone for Tszyu as I hadn't realised just how good Mayweather was!

You are a very fair minded and well balanced poster.

Actually you all are on this issue; I like that about Kostyas fans the Aussie ones especially.
There is no false pride getting in the way just straight facts .

I recon Kostya may have given him fits when in his prime too cause he was a master at timing ,could tangle up skilled boxers and drag them to their doom but later on when the fight became possible he would of lost to Floyd who turned out the more technical fighter of the two.

Full points for Ricky Hatton during that time,it was his best outing by far. He also took out Phillips which would have been in the back of Kostyas mind.

Another guy who deserves more recognition from that time is Okktte Urkal ;against Kostya was his best fight outing too.tough boy that one,that would have taken a toll on him ,and on Kt.
