Prime Tszyu vs current 140 elite

I feel bad, cause Tszyu often is picked on. But lets finally give him some favorable matchups.

The 99-00 Tszyu fucks up Con, Bradley, Alexander, Ortiz, and Maidana.

 

No

 

No what? :scratcher:

 

No the current 140 crop is being undersold

 

Khan would have precisely zero chance.

 

Tszyu would likely beat them all, if you ask me.

 

Tszyu would be favourite over them all. Bradley would be shortest odds, followed by Alexander & Kotelnik. Khan could be 1000-1 and I wouldn't put a note on ::

 

How so? Which one would have a shot against Tszyu?

 

Which one of these guys has the combination of punch, and chin that Cool Vince had?

Khan has no chin. Ortiz has no heart. Alexander and Bradley cant punch hard enough to get Tszyu's respect. And Maidana is too crude.

 

Tszyu beats every one of them

 

Khan has a decent chance, as does Bradley. Prove me wrong.

Hey, if Vince Phillips could land the straight right, imagine what would... nevermind ::

 

Big deal, I could post the video of Pacquiao getting flattened by Torrecampo as proof he wouldn't beat Mayweather, but we know better than that don't we

 

Yeah cause that's the same thing:hammert:

 

Course it is

 

If Khan had been KO'd at diaperweight aged 9, sure ::

 

He was struggling at the weight, as he has mentioned many times. He was a big lightweight.

 

Nobody becomes that chinny for the want of 5lb. His chin is shit and nobody with a chin that shit is gonna beat Kostya Tszyu. It's like totally mathematical, G. He'd be lucky to replicate the 3m success Zab Judah had against Tzsyu. In fact that's essentially what Khan is - Zab Judah, with more height, better feet, a better jab but less punch variety.

 

You'll see Hut. The guy gives Pacquiao plenty of problems in sparring and is A wotld champion Just outside of his teens but he's shit, yea sure

 

Um, did I slip into a coma thinking about Amir Khan's style & miss a recent megafight?ray:

 

In sparring, I amended that bad boy. It's annoying typing on an iPhone whilst on a packed moving bus sometimes ::

 

16 ounce pillows are a Khan's best friend.

 

Say what you like, Manny has mentioned plenty of times how much Amir has improved under Roach, the sparring footage seems to back that up

 

He has improved allot. Just like Wlad has improved. But against a guy who punches hard and is good enough to get through from time to time he's still fucked. You can't train no chin, yo.

 

His chin isn't that bad

 

A Mere Con (Thanks, Irish) has no business in the ring with Kostya Tszyu

 

Also less power, and less handspeed. And Zab's chin wasnt as shitty as Khan's.

 

:laugh11::laugh11:

Truth be told, it would take Kostya around 2-3 rounds more to do that. But he would break him to the body before he would do him to the head.
