    I don't think he's C level at all, he might be a bit overrated (he is) but he's definitely shown at least from a contemporary standpoint he's B level. You not A level if you ain't got a belt (and that belt is Jermell's because he never lost it).

    Tszyu is still improving almost every fight. His potential gets better every time. I used to have my doubts but if he gets anywhere near the top 10 p4p that would be an accomplishment surely

    Imma teach you simple math, fighter who dominates C-level fighters is not a C-level fighter.

    His improvement throughout his whole career has been huge.

    Don’t forget the defensive guile and supreme 12 round conditioning,

    I love it when a boxer continues to improve. I don't go to to many live boxing matches here in Las Vegas, but if Tim Tszyu fights here eventually like he mentioned, there is a good chance I will go to watch him in person. If and when it happens, I hope a ton of Australians come to Las Vegas for the fight. I love Australian sports fans spirit. They are having so much fun at Tim Tszyu fights in Australia, what a blast! :)

    Tyszu improves every fight, I'll give him that. But he's never going to be the best fighter in the division. BUT at least he does give his people some hope.

    Well, i think everybody has their rating system,
    Have you not been paying attention for the last 10 years, or are you just trying to get a reaction, regarding GGG not ever being in the top 10 pfp?

    Zab was beating Floyd for a few rounds until Floyd started to out-strength him.

    C+ a C level fighter got plenty of shots off with no reply before getting caught.

    You realize even C/C+ fighters DO land on elite level competition?
