Fighter's I Believe That Could Of Beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr

[ICB]

I have to say i don't think Kostya Tszyu, would of beaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. Because he's too mechanical and too slow, but i think he does get underrated on here.

I've watched his career set online over the past few years, and he was a great fighter make no doubt about it. He had amazing timing, great power. He was able to roll with shots very well, and he never took an easy route.

Kostya Tsyzu's only problem was that he struggled vs swarmer's, because he liked to fight at mid-distance. Where his power and timing were at there most effective.

By the way alot of people forget Kosta Tszyu, was winning the 2nd round vs Zab Judah before he landed the KO shot. So how exactly was it a fluke because they were 1-1 in rounds ? thats a silly thing to say IMO.

Considering Kostya Tszyu is a great fighter with great timing, so obviously a perfectly well timed KO from him, isn't a fluke because he was a master at it throughout his career.

That is hardly weak opposition, yes some of those fighters were past there prime. But who else was there at 140 ? he fought the best available opposition, and considering he stayed in one weightclass, where normally the opposition is pretty moderate when a fighter only domiante's one division, i think its quite an impressive list.

Too many fighters fight on to improve their legacy, but then simply blur it. Shame.

Wind back the clock and Floyd would be getting body slammed then beat up and it would have been fair game!

Couldn't have said it better, Tszyu would be a problem for Mayweather until Mayweather worked out how to avoid that right hand and he would. Mayweather is a brilliant ring tactician and i have never seen a fighter work out his opponents so early on in a fight, adapt his style and then go on and dominate. I was influenced by the Mosley right hand in round 2 that leads me to believe Tszyu would have had a chance, however I think Mayweather would have won a UD in the finish.
