    lol I may be stupid but I am smart enough to know that Tsyzu wanted no part of Mayweather, homie. Post a video of Tsyzu saying he wanted a Mayweather fight or stfu.

    Going on the road is a huge deal only American fans seem to think it isn't when fighters come to their country. I even hear American fans criticize Inoue for fighting in his home country Japan. For anyone who has ever competed they know there is a huge difference from fighting at home than there is away so you are talking nonsense because it doesn't suit your argument. Denying that American fighters have an advantage when the fight is in America is just wrong regardless of the reason.
    Also I never said that Oscar ducked Tszyu. Oscar proved he wasn't afraid to fight anyone I respect him greatly as a fighter but I still think that Tszyu could have beaten him which is hardly ridiculous.

    I can't make the old Eastside Boxing news article link work but here's a summary of what Kostya had to say about Floyd around the time a match between them was possible from a timing perspective. Only a moderator would be able to unlock the article the post is based on.

    I stand corrected then. I actually like Tszyu as a person more than Mayweather. I understand the fanboyism Australian boxing fans have for their fighters but when they disparage boxers from other countries, they should expect the same in return.

    I like KT, but ODLH had a very solid beard - ko 2 is not realistic. Would have been a great fight.
