    You're overlooking the fact that fans always tell themselves what they want to hear, along with the fighters, their trainers, their management etc. Is this phenominon really lost on you? Why would anyone in the Tszyu camp entertain any logic about him being deficient? We (I was one of them) were all looking to stay positive. If you look at what actually happened, EVERYBODY went revisionist (got a handle on that word now do we?) after the fight, Hatton and Tszyu fans alike: Prior to the fight Tszyu fans were saying he would win because 'Kostya at 35 would beat Kostya at 25' and Hatton fans were saying Tszyu was aged and inactive and wouldn't have the endurance. Post fight Tszyu supporters revised that he wasn't as prime as they thought he was, and Hatton fans for the most part ditched the logic about Tszyu being rusty and past prime and switched to the stance that Hatton is better than Tszyu. The moral of the story is don't read too much into anybodies literal statements leading up to a fight.

    So the answer is 'no'.

    I don't see the need for all the drollery.

    Well, it would be a pretty shitty thread if everybody Just posted yes or no wouldn't it?

    You could have just posted a poll, and said - "just answer yes or no. No need for analysis or drollery thank you very much".

    Of course KT is leauges ahead of PAC at 140! For what its worth Hatton is leauges ahead of PAC at 140 as well. The fact that PAC is not a natural 140 fighter who is for the first time fighting as a jr WW could possibly be the rational behind the present rankings.:lol: But for the record KT is the most consistant and decorated Jr WW in the world.....he's not the VERY BEST in terms of skills or talent but with regards to longevity, consistancy and regin he won in all those areas.

    I will answer that with a No. I feel what he was saying bout kosta being rusty, but he was kosta. I give all the credit to hatton because he went in there and took the punishment to beat kosta

    but I have to mention again. Kosta Is not leagues above Pac on no day. or at any weight! (for the ****** that lacks Logic)

    LOL... EVERYBODY is saying he was past now. EVERYBODY. Is that lost you?? Some of these YANK ****S need reminding, we don't need any clever history lessons. People's eyes aren't good enough. Watching the fight won't help anyone. They have to be told. Now quit being a goddamn distraction..

    all these guys saying inactive and ring rust. i presume you werent watching mitchell get annihilated 5 months before the hatton fight

    i suppose the tears will never stop

    nonetheless as others have said pac hasnt fought at 140 so bad comparison although if hypotheticlaly these 2 did fight i can see pac taking rounds but then getting KOed
