Kostya Tszyu

Yeah Oscar was scared of Tszyu but not scared to fight Bhop at middle. :roll:

 

Im with you it was a timing issue more than anything

 

Look maybe not scared.but he never beat great top level opposition since his first loss to mosely. lost to mosely twice,trinadad,hopkins,mayweather,manny i wont count because oscar was shot bye then,he got a gift against sturm. from that first lose to moesly he beat,gatti,javier castillejo,fernando vargas,forbes good fighters but great i think not.if sturm beat him kostya wld have done a number on him imo. the 3 guy's they both fought gonzales, ruelas & leija oscar beat them but two of them got there carreres ended by kostya gonzales never recovered after that beating ever. same as ruelas & when kostya fought leija he one even tho he was under done & out of shape. If u have a look at the gonales fight even the comentators were saying no 1 had made gonzales look this helpless & handeled him that easy they were saying not even oscar cld do this to him the 1 sided beating of the year winner. This is why imo oscar wld have lost to kostya because oscar alway's come up short when he fought great fighters. cheers i do respect your opinons tho.

 

are you talking about Tzsyu. He looked in good condition to me and had trained hard for the fight

 

oscars losses to trinidad and mosley (second fight) were both horrible decisions. oscard fought and beat better competition that tszyu

 

I thought Kostya was on track to fight Oscar but the loss to Phillips derailled those plans. Mosley went for the super fight with Oscar & jumped from 135 to 147 to do it. The rest is history. I think its utter rubbish to think anyone was scared to fight Kostya, just bigger $$$ fights were there to be made at the time & I think the loss to Phillips did tarnish Kostya's rep a little at the time. His last years of inactivity due to injury certainly didn't do him any favours.

 

The trinidad decision was blatant robbery & although the 2nd Mosley fight was close I still think Oscar deserved the nod.

 

I think it is a 50/50 fight with Tzsyu and ODH, Mosley or trinidad, If i had a gun to my head i would go slightly with Tzsyu in each fight but it could have gone either way, I also think he was a great fighter who has a pretty good resume but not great missing the 3 above

 

Ridiculous post. We all know Oscar beat Tito and Mosely in their 2nd fight aswell as a prime Vargas at 154.

Here's one for ya. Tzsyu got beatan down and stopped by Vince frickin Phillips IN HIS PRIME.:hi:
