Pac Vs Tsysu in their primes at 140

[Hughesd]

I know Pac has only had one fight at this weight but if these two had fought at their primes who would win ?

[Kel]

Tszyu would KO him. Tszyu loved fighting southpaws and his timing always won over the speed of his opponents like Mitchell and Judah found out.

Tszyu KO in round 5

Tszyu always did well with aggressive, fast power-punchers. So basically Pac. I think Pac would do better than Judah, but the fact is at some point Tszyu's right hand would connect & could be good night. Apart from Hatton having the fight of his life the only other guys who've been at light-welter in recent years who I could see beating Tszyu are Mayweather and Cotto.

Tszyu loved southpaws, he disected them like no other fighter. Speed didnt seem to bother him either so id have to say that manny would be eating right hands until he dropped.Tszyu was a very smart fighter and if there was a weakness he would find it and i think hed find a few in pac.

[Taeth]

Oscar didn't do too badly against southpaws either, its hard to say, I think Tszyu is very much a large JMM with a bigger punch p4p, but a lot less speed, if Pacquiao get in and out too quickly then Kostya would be in trouble, but if Tszyu started timing him then I think Pacquiao is screwed.

I have this 60/40 in favor of Tszyu because its a rough matchup for Pacman.

[Quinito]

Pac would win because of Freddie Roach.

Pac would win because of Freddie Roach.

Why?? Is Freddie gonna come in & hit Tszyu over the head with a hammer or somethin?

Haha! Very funny

[Spicoli]

I think at some point,Kostyas short shots on an oncoming Pac would force Manny to settle down and be in front of Tzsyu for a taxing spell.Tszyu solid of frame and footing and that straqht right would find its mark increasingly more so for win.

Are you kidding me? People always want to believe that some past fighter will always be the best and no one can overcome them. Pacquiao would destroy Tsysu! Im not even basing that on Pacs last two fights either, im basing it on his whole career. Pacs faced better opponets plain and simple. I mean how many people is it now that have knocked out judah? A bakers dozen? Pacquiao's blinding hand speed and movement would eat Tsysu alive, and after Pac beats Mayweather im sure most will agree with me!

[BigLuke]

This wouldnt even be a fight. Manny would kill him. Manny is just too much. So strong. So fast. I mean Tsysu was a good fighter, but he never faced anything close to the caliber of opponent as Pac. Pac wins hands down.

Here we go again. Pac is on fire at the moment. Mad respect to him. But some fans take it to far...thinking he will just beat anyone he faces. Styles make fights ladies and gents. Tszyu loved facing south paws. Pac's toughest fights came against Marquez...and as good as Marquez is...Tszyu had better timing and MUCH better power. Not to mention he was such an intelligent fighter. Now does this all mean that he would definitely beat Pac...of course not. After all Tszyu had some problems with agrressive fighters. BUT...no way Pac just "destroys" one of great fighters in the sport. I would lean towards Kotsya winning because of his devastating power, timing, and skills. But i think it would have been a great fight.

If Tzysu had such what they call "timing", then how come could'nt time Hatton like Pac did?

His balls hurt too much to concentrate

Good thread!


I think that style wise Tsysu would have a good hance of lannding his big right.

Tsysu was good on th back foot and I think there is a good chance it would land at some stage.

Saying that Ricky Hattons all out asault seemed to knock KT out of his rythem so who knows.


It would be a great fight if it had happened.
