Good fights that fell through and never happened?

You like mismatches, huh?

 

Its funny - I like PBF - And I cant stand Hatton - but I can never see Floyd circa 2003/4 beat Kostya at 140. Kosytya got old 03-05 and PBF would have killed him but I think 2004-5 KT could do what ODLH coudlnt and put on sustained effective orthodox pressure - Who knows?

 

Kostya was a bum, pure and simple, who's never even been close to the likes of ODLH, Castillo, Corrales and other fighters PBF beaten.
Take Castillo, for example....He was a consumate sustained pressure master (leagues above Zoo), and all he got for his troubles for 0-2....
Zoo would've gotten Vince Philips treatment from PBF.....
No wonder Zoo avoided PBF at all costs......Just like he avoided every other elite fighter in his career....when the best guy you've ever beaten in your career is the mighty Sharmba Mitchell, everybody knows you're a pussy....

 

whar zoo would've brought to the table that would've given PBF so much trouble, circa 2002, is not so much pressure or volume, but timing, accuracy and power.

8 oz gloves landing right hands behind PBF's flurries? that's trouble for PBF.

 

Double, before we proceed to, once again, destroy your line of reasoning, would you care to answer the question raised here?

In generl I like you but Kostya kills Castillo at any weigfht any time - even dancing on ice - gosh - Kostya was done 2 years before Hatton yet still put up up a fight. Kostya best amateur of last 20 years except Gerald Tucker...
