    What’s Kostya’s best win? A fluke over Zab Judah? 9 times out of 10 Judah would of outboxed Kostya to a UD.

    Tim seems to have a sociopathic darkness in his demeanour that Kostya never had.

    No and not likely but I hope I am wrong. Tim calls dudes out, Kostya never did. Due to that fact, Tim could make bigger waves than Kostya did but Kostya had an incredible amateur career aswell. Kostya was more natutally talented and a bigger puncher. Tim likes to brawl though, Kostya never brawled.

    Why is everybody in such a hurry? Let the kid breath. If he wins today there will be a thread asking how he'd do against Ali and a fair amount of people will not see it as satire. Expectations expand at a ridiculous rate and then these guy are scared to fight because they might lose that precious zero and then never make the big money. As fans we are shooting ourselves in the foot with this ****.

    utter garbage.

    if you're not going to give credit where due for kostya smashing the pudding out of judah then your opinion is irrelevant.

    go and watch replays of kostya again u hater and look at the killer instinct he has while hunting down his opponents. Timothy does not have the same fire inside him as his father imo.

    Cool your jets.

    Let him get knocked out by a Vince Phillips type fighter and duck a rematch before we start comparing the two.

    Weird question comparing a Prime Kostya vs. a pre-prime Tim.

    Kostya Tszyu was basically a supedup version of Regis Prograis with higher IQ, a better boxer, more power, and much more fluid. Floyd ducked him too.

    You can't be an ATG if you refuse to even try to avenge your losses. Just sayin'...

    Being a sociopath in boxing is a good thing you fool.

    This isn’t a tickling contest is it?

    Give him some time before comparing him to his father.
    Plus he has yet to make a fighter do the chicken dance like Zab Judah.

    Asinine thread lol No need to overrate Tim yet. The 154 division isn't as strong as it once was.
