LOL, so basically this the 2014 equivalent of : "And yes, Manny Pacquiao, you're next?"

Two months from now "Don't put words in my mouth"

That interview of Floyd calling out Tszyu and Oscar was after he'd slayed the legendary Henry Brussles. rofl. That was early 2005 when it was common knowledge Tszyu's body was falling apart on him. He'd suffered a pair of back-to-back severe career threatening injuries and had been reduced to a part-time fighter who could barely drag his ravaged body through one training camp per year, which is exactly how frequently he'd been fighting for the last four years of his career. When Floyd called him out he'd fought once in two whole years. Tsyzu was a shadow of his former self by then. Even Hatton wanted Tszyu by that point. rofl.

And in early 2005 Oscar was on a losing streak of three fights if you include the Sturm robbery and he was coming off a KO loss in his previous fight.

2004

Anyone who participates in sport from the elite professional athlete to the weekend hacker have usually managed to pick themselves up an injury ranging from a mild muscle strain to broken bones or even a serious reconstruction operation. So when a professional boxer suffers not one, but two back to back career ending injuries late in his career fans and media start to wonder if he is finished? They start to wonder if he still has it? This seems to be the situation that undisputed Junior Welterweight Champion Kostya Tszyu has currently found himself in. Is he finished? Has he had enough? Or is there unfinished business out there that only Kostya knows about?

Lets have a quick look at the damage he has done to himself and his career. About six months ago Kostya was playing indoor soccer at Sydney Community Centre when he ruptured his Achilles tendon. For those of us who havent gone to the school to study the anatomy it is the big tendon that starts at the back of your foot and attaches all the important stuff to your calf muscle. This injury in itself is career threatening. It impedes your ability to walk, run, skip, shadow box, spar and eventually fight let alone just day to day normal life.

I found it really ironic recently when James Toney suffered the same injury that Kostya had just recovered from and they were both due to fight on the same telecast, Kostya from Russia, Toney from the U.S.

This ruptured shoulder tendons is of course the second injury Kostya has endured recently. While sparring in his Rockdale gym for his up coming and now cancelled rematch with Sharmba Mitchell Kostya ruptured the tendons of his left shoulder. He was taken into Sydneys Royal north shore hospital and the procedure he required was performed by Prof.David Sonnabend who later stated The operation was a complete success, it was a routine tear and dont anticipate any future problems. The shoulder will heal 100% with full strength and movement.

Thats all good for everyday life, but what about still having the ability to pump that sucker out there for twelve rounds. Now I dont need to tell anyone how important the hand and arm that sets the table for you to sit down and eat are. The two immediate phrases that come to mind are Absolutely Vital or Fundamentally Essential. Your hand that you jab with has to be perfect as it sets all the other punches up and keeps your opponent off balance, not to mention getting rolled over into the hook. Along with combination punching, Kostya had his jab as one of his strengths as well as his hook.

Maybe now they will become a liability. Without the old power he had in there to haul his left hand all the way back to his face or on top of his ear he might become even more susceptible to the overhand right and a smart fighter who can bang a bit might expose this a la Vince Phillips circa May 31st, 1997. Also after his most recent performance against Jesse James Leija where his jab was slower than usual, his combinations werent finding the range and the power shots werent banging home with the alarming accuracy of his last few fights either.

Floyd was chasing Oscar since he was at 130 . . . he knew that it was his big chance. Floyd was mentioning Zu's name well before Brussells as well . . . just because this was the most easily accessed does not mean it was the only time . . . someone posted this on another board regarding this:

Floyd called out Kostya during a post fight interview with Merchant...at the time, Kostya was already in talks with Hatton, and had been in talks with Hatton for quite sometime for their bout. So, Kostya's preoccupation with Hatton prevented the fight from happening at that time.

As we all know, Kostya lost to Hatton so the focus shifted to a potential Floyd-Hatton bout at 140. Floyd challenged Hatton live on ESPN's FNF but the Hatton camp rejected they wanted NO PARTS of Floyd.

So, Floyd pouned Gatti.

Secondly, Kostya was committed to Showtime -- so there was some network politics involved and it would have been super difficult to have the Floyd-Kostya fight come off....

Lastly, Floyd called out Kostya in the ring, TWICE during post fight interview with Larry Merchant... Post fight Jesus Chavez & Post fight Bruseles...

There you have it.

This Floyd DUCKED Kostya thing is a lie. Some idiots on here just don't know their facts. Again.... It's complete bull****.

Chavez was 4 years earlier when he SFW kingpin and a week after he KOed Zab . . . I am pretty sure Zu was not injury ridden and was at his Peak when he fought Zab:deal
