    Thanks. That's 100% true, factual and correct

    Probably disagree with this albeit that being said, I'm definitely right yet again about Kostya beating Pryor

    True

    I'd prefer you use yours for learning actual history. not trying to make hot takes about an era you know nothing about.

    Pryor is literally on camera cheating like crazy in his signature win and he was obviously jacked on those PEDs in many of his other fights.

    Two long distance runners running a race and one of them literally jumps in a car mid race live on TV and gets driven to the finish line robbing his opponent who, as said, was one of the nicest, most classiest fighters to ever don a pair a gloves and fought an honest, clean and honourable fight and people pretend it didn't happen and hail the cheating winner as a god and afford him a free pass for cheating and robbing his opponent of a huge part of his legacy? Un-freaking-believable! Shame on you. shame on you :shakehead:

    Kostya would knock Pryor's cheating have gloves won't travel ass smooth out

    Steve's still more or less a newbie to boxing. Anything that happened over ten years ago, he'll no nothing about.

    He's one of the most overrated fighters of all time. He went life and death with Arguello too. He'd likely gotten KTFO if he fought a good durable puncher cause he was susceptible to getting caught when he got wild.

    None of that is true.

    Plenty of fights have been stopped by the corner between rounds when they have had that 60 seconds to take a closer look at their fighter. Angelo Dundee literally stopped Ali from going out for round 11 against Holmes. Ali didn't quit. His corner stopped that fight.

    Tszyu did not quit in either fight that he lost. That is a fallacy that the ignorant play over and over in their feeble minds to justify a position against that particular fighter. The genesis of this discussion was when the resident idiot said that Tszyu had "too much quit in him." Kostya Tszyu had no quit in him whatsoever. Go and have a look at his brutal war with Diosbelys Hurtado as an example. Kostya was down twice in the first round and was in all sorts of trouble against the excellent Hurtado before coming back to win by KO in the 5th. And Hurtado was a legitimate world class talent who had only one loss prior to Tszyu and that was by late stoppage to Pernell Whitaker.

    Yes amateur records matter. Tszyu, World Amateur Champion, something Pryor and Hearns never achieved. Your reply is irrelevant to the original post that I replied to.

    He has shown to have problems with guys with pryors style. And pryor is much better than cool Vince and hatton.

    Nah lad Tszyu is straight up and down aye. Pryor would be a nightmare for him would probably stop him within 3 rounds easy work.

    These initial responses are hilarious and speaks to how far this forum has fallen in quality. Pryor would eat Tszyu alive. Questioning Pryor's resume to boost Tszyu's is comical considering that even faded Arguello and Cervantes were better than anyone Tszyu beat.

    Pryor's buzzsaw attack wouldn't allow Tszyu the time and space he needed to operate, and in a grueling war, Tszyu being the front runner that he was would lose heart.

    Pryor TKO 9.

    IMO Pryor can beat Kostya. They can beat each other. Kostya lost to Phillips and Hatton and Pryor was a world champion.



    I'm not biased. But Kostya could also K.O Pryor.
