    Tszyu thrashed the shot Chavez of 2000. Does he beat the 1990 Chavez?

    No, but it's still a pretty good matchup. I think Tszyu would likely have an early lead but he would find himself in trouble once Chavez gets warmed up and starts getting inside more frequently. Kostya will know he's in trouble when he's getting marked up and learns a single right hand is not going to turn it all around. I think Chavez by late TKO.

    It's a fun match, but not a very competitive one imo. Not a blowout, but chavez pressure and activity would make Tszyu try to turn it into making a boxing match, and it would just result in him surviving a bit longer

    Prime Chavez would have been able to overwhelm Tszyu much like he did against Rosario.
