    Agreed.

    Laguna was much better, but Tszyu would be too big.

    Hot take: Kostya Tszyu would lose to both Petrolle and Berg. They're awful for him; like superpowered versions of Vince.

    Berg was an oddity - he was a terrific inside fighter, but a poor outside one, despite having a tall and lanky physique.

    I think Tszyu matches up with Berg similar to how Canzoneri did, which could provide arguments both for and against a Tszyu victory. If Berg gets inside like he reportedly did in the 1st Canzo fight, then he could hustle and smother his way to victory. However, if Tszyu can keep the fight at mid-range and foil Berg's attempts to smother him, then he might be able to pick him apart with right hands.

    I'm relieved that thus far no one said Tszyu beats Kid Pambele - I would have a mini-stroke.
