Kostya Tszyu vs Wilfred Benitez at 140lbs. What If?

At Light-Welterweight would the sharp-shooting, intelligent Tszyu be too much for the multi-talented manchild Benitez?
What do you think fight fans?
Wilfred Benitez.

No way Tszyu wins this fight. Benitez would've school him and Tszyu wouldn't be able to catch Benitez with anything of significance. A very clear UD for Benitez.

In a 15 rd fight, Benitez wins a clear decision by something like 4 to 6 pts. Antonio Cervantes was a much better boxer than Tszyu, and Benitez made him miss like he had radar.

I totally agree with everybody else. Ive watched them both fight extensively and cant imagine a realistic way Tszyu could win this fight if Benitez brings his A game.

Tszyu had good power at 140 and if he catches Benitez, like Bruce Curry did in their first meeting then it would be interesting. . . . BUT, "el radar" had all the skills and if on his game would out maneouver Tzsyu not to mention outbox him for a clear UD. 8)

There is not a fight in this weight division that you can name where Tszyu does not have a puncher's chance...including this one. But it's a bit of a longshot on this one.

I'd favor Benitez by unanimous decision. I think Tszyu's style was almost made for a boxer like Benitez.

Wilfredo would make Tszyu look even sillier than Gomez would make Paquiao look........
Quit smoking the bad shit and coming up with these lopsided BS fantasy matches....

I do not see this as a lop sided affair but one where there would be a clearly favored fighter.

I don't smoke.
I also don't believe this is lopsided or BS as you put it.
But I'm sure you could do so much better with your wealth of knowledge on the subject and I look forward to learning from you and your future enlightening and entertaing threads.
