    I didnt even remember he beated good old Chavez when I wrote that and I'm serious!

    His winning streak in his padded record should have ended in 17.3 -90. The kid made him look like a fool:verysad

    The only top 10 list I have Tszyu in is my top 10 OVERRATED. No chance in hell this guy gets my Hall of Fame vote or top 10 140 pound vote. Floyd would have beat him easily.

    I don't understand why people try to make some kind of connection between Lil' Floyd and his father's and uncles' careers. The fact that Tszyu beat Roger Mayweather means nothing in terms of signifigance to a potential Tszyu/Mayweather Jr. showdown. Tszyu can come out of retirement right now and Lil' Floyd would woop 'em.

    I dont care for the list....

    tszyu beats prime chavez....

    i dont care what anyone else says so please flame away.

    all the posts in the world dont add up to anything but smoke as far as i am concerned.

    Chavez is a legend. He gets beat by Tszyu prime or no prime

    I have no top 10 in stone. I just made a list of the best fighters to have fought at 140, IMO and there were about 12-13 of them that you could argue above Tszyu by at least some criteria. Based on dominance and reign then yes he'd be among the 5 most accomplished 140 pounders of all time. Not based on level of opposition or ability IMO. I wouldn't argue with anyone who placed him in the top 10, though.

    who have fought there. Whats that. Thats like saying Pacquiao was a great Flyweight. Maybe the greatest that ever lived.

    Or that Roy Jones was one the best Middleweights EVER.

    1 or 2 title fights compared to say 12 or 15 at another weight doesnt make you top dogs at the weight.

    IMO.

    Its like saying those Chicago Bulls sure were the best Ice Hockey Team of the 90's.

    Not really what he said though, if tszyu had alot of wins aginst average fighters and a guy who spent less time in the division got less win but over greater fighters who ir anked higher.
