BRIGHTER BOXING FUTURE - BERLANGA OR TIM TSZYU???

Both Appear to Be Sufficiently DONE as Fighters, But Who's MORE DONE Between the 2???....



REED

 

No contest here

Has ed basura even beaten a top 20 opponent in super middle?

Tszyu beating mendoza and harrison alone completely shits on that frauds competition

 

Tszyu's ACCOMPLISHED More than Berlanga, Obviously...But After Last Night, Does Tszyu Have a Brighter FUTURE than Berlanga, Who Admittedly Has a Pretty DIM Boxing Future Himself???...

Tszyu can still be in some decent fights as an opponent if he wants to keep going

He landed some hard shots on fundora at times and fundora is a top 5 guy in that division


Ed basura SUCKS. He won't be competitive with anyone decent, ever

Honestly I read your initial post as whos done more, not more done

Neither exactly bright. Tszyus career looks more like a dimly lit after hours night club where as bumlangas is a dirt road in a backwoods town in bumfuk, Mississippi during an eclipse

 

Tszyu can still be a tune up for guys coming up from 147...and could still win one trinket vs the RIGHT opponent....

Berlanga is obnoxious and ignorant....IMO he burned a lot of bridges with his talking. Before the Canelo fight he fought a bunch of C/D level and below fighters. He is not a top guy. Hear he is taking a break from boxing....he is DONE.

So Tsyzu has the brighter future....

 

They're both done as dog shit, but Bumlanga's future is more dim because he remains delusional and he won't change a thing in how he trains. He's too old and too low IQ to improve his skill-set. He'll lose again the next decent fighter he faces.

Tim is also finished, but he's capable of beating solid level guys. Just not top guys.

 

Tszyu is completely done. Langa will have more fights at top level. He is already spreading rumours that Sheeraz had loaded handwraps. Tszyu will retire. He took brutal punishment vs Bakram and then was beaten into submission against Fundora. He's a guy who cannot defend himself while he is throwing a left hook and continually gets caught while doing that.

 

Is that something positive or beneficial?

 

Just saying his attitude will be to push on. Hence the excuses. Tim has no excuses. He's taken two bad beatings now and more likely to retire. Langa will push the excuses and talk his way into other fights.

 

Probably. It's quite annoying how some of these guys can basically trash talk their way into paydays when their in the ring performances are always lacking.

 

Good points…I still say Tim has the brighter future….he has his daddy last name, ++the guys in/around his division are bigger stars = more money for Tim to get smashed.

Bumlanga will have to at least string 2-3 victories before he gets another big fight…..BUT the paydays are SMALLER…

 

Who in the fuck can bumlanga beat ?

 

Its a good thing that Spence-Fundora didn't happen. Spence would have gotten beaten up and stopped.

Peak Spence could beat Fundora, but sure AF not the current Spence.

 

Maybe Plant cause Plant is washed up. Maybe...

Prime Plant fucks him up.

 

Prime Plant plant is a never was in my book who beat a few fringe top 10 guys, but he'll beat the shit out of that fraud

 

Broners resume is trash but he at least won bullshit titles in 4 divisions and beat a few top 10ish opponents in said divisions

Who in the fuck has Ed basura ever defeated? What are his top 3 wins ?

Roamer angulo, Steve rolls and quigley?

 

Every fighter has a prime, Neil. Even non-elite fighters.

Current Plant might struggle with Edgar.

The 26-year-old Plant who took the title from Uzcat would stop Bumlanga in a one sided fight.

 

Everytime Tszyu fights, it's must-see. His fights are always exciting. Really thought his steady right hands to the body would put him in the clear eventually. That said, my money was literally on Fundora.

 

Berlanga has a brighter future ONLY because he's closer to Jake Paul's weight.

D0nt sound like a guy who's retiring

 

Tim could dig up a five-man team of Steward, Dundee, Futch, D'Amato, and Clancy to train him and it still wouldn't help him. He's done.

 

I assumed this was bumped because they were going to fight each other

 

Nah, his father was a long-term champion as well as a stellar amateur who's been involved in boxing at all steps of his life. I'm pretty sure Kostya would have been vocal about it had he felt they weren't good enough to guide his son.

It's easy to criticize in hindsight but at the time Murtazaliev was pretty much thought of as a paper champ and an easy path to a belt (and truthfully, it's still hard to gauge how good he actually is). Tszyu was listed as a whooping -700 favorite so it's pretty hard to argue his team set him up with a killer (with the info available at the time).

His team is being used as a scapegoat as Timmy's ambition have been found to be greater than his actual talent (which in a way is a credit to him as he could have spent his life fighting bums in Australia and still would have made a fortune).

Edit: just read a bit about Kostya relationship with Tim and supposedly he's far less involved than I thought.

 

Do you think he should hire Kevin Rooney and work on his head movement?

 

Yeah, at the end of the day, talent always has and always will separate the elite guys from the merely good/okay guys.

Kostya was extremely talented. Fenech was a generational talent.

Tim simply lacks talent. You can only work around that to a certain extent.

 

Tszyu still has millions of dollars to earn from fleecing the Australian public…he can probably make that over the next few years from his social media alone
