    Maybe he will prove to be as good as his father the great Kostya but time will ultimately tell.

    Would you say a victory over Charlo a more superior victory than Kostya ever had?

    Not sure about that but you would say it’s getting in the ball park as Charlo is a proper undisputed champion. I don’t consider Tim a champion yet.

    I always thought Kostya's win over Judah was a bit of a fluke. They always say there's no lucky punches in boxing but I think at the time, 9 times out of 10 Judah would have out boxed him. Other than Judah one would say Sharmba Mitchell was his best win.

    I think Charlo is on par with Judah as an opponent and going off what Tim did to Harrison and a 'coming off a big win' Mendoza, he's got the goods to take Charlo out. Especially now seeing as Charlo would have to lose quite a bit of muscle to get back to 154.

    I think you are doing a lot of projecting.

    By projecting do you mean jumping the gun and getting ahead of myself? Or projecting as in I'm living vicariously through a boxer?

    Jumping the gun. I think we are agreed that he is an outstanding prospect and beating both Mendoza the other day and Tony Harrisson is highly commendable though Harrisson is clearly past his best. Presuming he will beat the likes of Jermell Charlo, Erroll Spence Jr and Terence Bud Crawford highly skilled outstanding undisputed and unified world champions is a big leap. Anyone who really thinks Charlo is afraid of Tyzu is a fool like the so called Midnight Prowler.

    I was only referring to Charlo, I never mentioned Spence or Crawford.

    The fighters aren't afraid of other fighters, they're all warriors.

    They're afraid of negative public perception as in, if I lose to that guy, this will negatively impact me in a way that I can't possibly comprehend down the line, both personally and professionally.

    In this thread alone you guys have taken shots at Fenech and Kambosos for no other reason than to flame. Fenech beat the brakes off of Nelson anyway and got robbed by the Vegas judges. I have way more boxing experience than the two of you combined so I suggest you STFU. I am a proud Bundjalung man from Sydney so don't try and race bait me you scumbag.

    You obviously did not watch the rematch when Uncle Azumah literally took Fenech’s soul in his hometown in Australia. I don’t care where you come from or what you think you are. It does not give you the right to talk bull****. I have not mentioned Kambosos at all. I have seen him fight and he is okay but there are levels to this game as Haney showed him. You are clearly the scum bag and it was you who raised race which I told you not to do because I can literally take you to school on the issue. If it all the same I shall keep expressing myself but you might need to engage a brain before you come out with your usual crap.

    Why would I have a problem with that? I support the innocent people of Palestine and Israel. Why would you think I would support Hamas? This is my problem with you because you are so disingenuously stupid.
