    Did Kostya ever fight at 147? His last fight was at 140, against Hatton.

    At what weight class? Kostya only fought at 140, Errol is a blown up 147 pounder. P4p Kostya easily. At 147, Tszyu is fighting a much bigger guy than he ever faced.

    Spence is bigger but Kostya was a hundred times better.

    But at 147 it’s even money. Kostya only ever fought at 140.

    Spence's style would be very taxing on Kostya. Kostya was a sharp shooter that needed room. He would get none from Spence. I actually think Spence would stop him late.

    Rewatch round 1of the Zab fight. If not for that beautiful right hand, the fight would have been anything but a cake walk.

    Was he a hundred times better than Phillips and Hatton? Just asking...

    Do you judge Mike Tyson by the Buster Douglas fight?

    Just asking...

    remember if you lose any fights during your career you are a bum or overrated. Unless you are undefeated like Mayweather you may as well hang your head in shame.

    Do we think that Tyson would have avoided a Douglas rematch the way Kostya did with Phillips?

    Never answer a question with a question.

    Why didn't he try to avenge his losses?

    Why is this a thing as well? Avenge losses? Remain undefeated? It's fighting you win some you lose some. All this protecting you're record is one of the main problems in boxing.

    Didn't he protect his record by refusing to try and avenge his loss to Phillips, though? It made lots of sense to not see the guy again, but it certainly wasn't the bravest choice... now was it?
