You notice that Mosley loses to only good fighters, and has never quit in the corner, or gotten knocked the **** out? As far as the roids are concerned, he was only a Balco client for one fight. That's what the records suggest. He looked like **** in that fight and his opponent was robbed. To suggest he was on roids for any other fight is total B.S.
Should have seen Tszyu Vs. Jones in amateurs! He was awesome! He would have beaten Mosely at his peak, no doubt about it. Forrest sure beat the crap out of Mosley.
they say Tszyu had an 'off nite' against Phillips...i say Phillips blasted that ass and Mosley is a bigger, faster, stronger version of Phillips at 140...nuff said
haha..at 135 Mosley was 32-0 30 kos...He was a beast...He was very competitive at 147....At 140 he woulda fought a tough UD!! Mosley UD Tszu 115-113 across the board IN A CLOSE BUT CLEAR FIGHT!
i think a lot of posters here think that the 1998 version of Tszyu is pretty much the same fighter in 2001. Tszyu reflexes have significantly declined in the 2000s
Didn't tszyu beat mosley in the amatuers?? anyway, i will favor mosley, but noot much. maybe a decision win
A lot of people are very ignorant about how good Tszyu was at his best. Saying Tszyu had a suspect chin is total ignorance. He was worn down by attrition in both the Phillips & Hatton fights. Mosley's chin was hardly granite in the first Forrest fight. And that was with a full tank of gas. Also you blokes are not prepared to give Tszyu any credit for travelling half way around the world every time he fought. It's very difficult to do. Ignoring Tszyu's amateur credentials is also very convenient for those who don't want to rate him. Fact is, he was a way better amateur than Mosley, Oscar or Forrest. Whilst the American media would have you believe they all overtook him in the pros, the fact is none of them ever proved that in the ring with him in the opposite corner. Tszyu's credentials as a fighter need to be looked at in totality - amateur & pro. When it really mattered, he always delivered. As for prime Tszyu v prime Mosley, I'll take Tszyu by UD, possible late round stoppage. I think his chin would take Mosley's best stuff far better than Mosley's would take his.
So true! Jorge Luis Gonzalez beat both Bowe and Lewis in the amateurs. Look what Bowe did to him when they were pros.
Many top amateurs go on to be top pros. If you're assessing the capability of an up & coming fighter, the first thing you look at is his amateur record. Fact is Tszyu flogged Forrest in the amateurs. Fact is Forrest flogged Mosley. Who wins between Tszyu & Mosley is pure speculation but anyone who doesn't think Mosley would have his hands full with a prime Tszyu is kidding themselves.
