    He was joking. Geelong has a Mundine avatar. Duke was having a not so subtle go at Geelong.

    Hatton fight helped his bank account mate thats about it :lol:

    I interviewed Lewis prior to the fight being signed and it was around the same time Hatton was calling out KT. I asked Lewis about Hatton & Lewis said that Hatton wasnt even on their radar and was not in the same league as KT, a couple months later they signed to fight Hatton, they under estimated Hatton and paid the price.

    Stop trying to putty over the holes in Tszyu's career. For me what counts in boxing these days is who you have beat and who has beat you. **** all the belts. Zab Judah was an undisputed champion as well so that line doesn't help your argument.

    What are Tszyu's best wins and who did he lose to. All the other greats around his time seemed to be able to fight each other in general but not Tszyu.

    That's a bit harsh but I'll agree that he wanted no part of Vivian Harris.

    The truth hurts buster.:hi:

    What counts in boxing in this day and age is resume not stupid belts. Their a dime a dozen these days.

    Who have you beat and who has beat you. That's what counts.:hi:

    what counts is ability. that's why tszyu is rated highly. but u can ignore that if u wish.

    I beat u, but u r hardly competition anyway. u get owned by everybody on here.

    another reason why u r bitter probably.

    You idiot. That is only a factor when considering a fighter near the beginning of their career. At the end of a career fans look at resume you ****in moron.

    Who Tszyu beat and who beat Tszyu. Then compare to the other greats around his weight area in Oscar, Shane, Tito..........

    the people who's opinion matter clearly judge tszyu a true great regardless.

    that's what matters.

    not what a tart like u says.

    there r plenty of belt holders with thin resumes who r not judged so well.

    unbiased people who do not dislike everything, can judge the fighter on a whole range of things.

    Do you consider Tszyu better than any of Oscar, Shane or Tito on an all time type list ?

    He was a fine fighter early and I crowded into the pub to watch him.
    No doubt what so ever Lewis is accurate.
