Kostya Tszyu v. Wilfred Benitez

[Woldemar]

Who would win?For me Benitez by decision as well.

[BoxBuzz]

Kostya would always have a punchers chance in this fight, that favors Wilfred.

[palooka]

Wasn't Benitez the naturally bigger man? In his prime he would have outboxed Kostya who would do well to land cleanly a handful of times, Wilfredo hit plenty hard as well.

[Broomhall]

Benitez was 5 10 so taller and bigger and filled out into a light middle so I would think you would have to give every advantage to Benitez and I couldnt see a way he could win, great fighter that he was but Benitez too big, equally as fast and hit hard too.

[expe]

Benitez went on to fight at light middleweight, but that was with same day weigh ins, so it's difficult to say who was bigger.

True dat, Tszyu packed on a fair few after the weigh-in iirc, wasn't he the first fighter Hatton fought who weighed similar on the night...?

^ Puts it into perspective, don't it?

I've said this before, but when my old man--watching Paul Williams, I think, or Kelly Pavlik--asked where all the "strong, come-forward 5'8" middleweights are?" I laughed nastily & said: "Fighting at light-welter, mate."

I still haven't watched Young TC's latest victory mate, get around to it sometime this week...
