    Great but clearly falls short of ATG. Because the caliber of his opposition is'nt very high, his KO loss to Vince Phillips hurts him bigtime in accessing where he ranks among histories best.

    He would clean out 140 today. This guy wouldn't stand a chance.

    He helped Zab invent those awesome dance moves.

    Loss to Phillips because he took him lightly.

    ATG

    Tszyu was always prepared and inshape, "took him lightly" is bullcrap.

    Its common knowleadge with real boxing fans that Tszyu did not seek a rematch with Vince Phillips even though Phillips offered him one.

    Tszyu was one of the best fighters out there. He made Judah do the chicken dance...........

    It will be interesting if he were to mix it up with the guys at 140. I don't see him winning against Danny Garcia or Lucas Mattys.
