At first i was thinking that this was a pretty even matchup but the more i thought about it,style wise id take Cervantes He had some excellent boxing skills,and was rangey and quidk enough to bust Tszyu up. I think hed handle any thing Tszyu would bring although Tszyu would be capable of hurting him im gonna pick Cervantes by late stoppage especially if this goes 15.

Kostya had problems with tall boxers, and Cervantes was better than any big fighter he's faced. I find it unlikely that Tszyu could stop Antonio, and his economical style would not help him in this fight. Cervantes by late stoppage.

That's what I thought too. I think Cervantes wouldn't led into that right hand of Tszyu but keep the distance and finish a tired Kostya near the end of the fight.

Benitez-Tszyu would be more interesting.

Great match up. Will have to have a long think about this one.

El Radar would have totally outclassed Tszyu.

I'm not that sure of that. Benitez is a bit stationary with his footwork and Tszyu's precision, timind and delivery was superb. Add to that his ability to lure his opponent in and Benitez inexperience at 140 and you have an interesting fight. Benitez would be my pick but it would be closer then you think.

I dont feel Benitez clowns Tszyu at all...but he probably would still win.

Fact is though the young El Radar had varying degrees of trouble with lesser fighters then Kostya...and none of them brought the kind of power Tszyu does.
