    What I recall is Vince Philips beat the living **** outta a prime Tszyu, and Tszyu lacking the heart to ever fancy a rematch.

    You obviously had no answers whatsoever. Your rationale was downright stupid.

    I have all kinds of answers you just don't want to hear them. So Tszyu lost a fight to Phillip's. You question the heart of a hall of Famer? You are nothing but a dickless *****.

    Mosely despite his speed and skills he was very hittable. However he had a granite chin and would survive some brutal Tszyu right hands to win pts.

    Good match up.
    Mosley was faster and threw the better combos.
    But he also slugged a little too much at times which led him to get tagged.
    KT very strong boxer who could hit. I think physically he was stronger then Shane. Could get you in trouble with one punch .
    I could see Shane outboxing KT and winning a decision but the problem i have is that Shane in my opinion would trade with KT which would allow KT the chance to land good shots.
    And losing to Vince Phillips was no disgrace- Phillips was a wonderful fighter and had he not got mixed up in drugs he would have been a great boxer.

    No way in Hell was Tszyu physically stronger than Shane. Therein would lie one of Tszyu's problems.

    I think he was . Only boxer to physically dominate KT on the inside was Hatton at the end of KTs career .

    Laporte named KT as the strongest guy he ever fought. Admittedly it's up in the weights but still notable.

    He was also Soviet Military and benched massive weight multiple reps, 20 + , he had power no doubt. KO'd Larrimore cold and sent Judah doing the chicken dance

    I agree, after watching Mosley vs Margarito today and how Shane dominated and out muscled Antonio both during infighting and the clinches, the last thing Shane has to worry about is a perceived strength disadvantage
