    The Ring TOP10 JWWs Pryor faced after he beat the faded Cervantes in his hometown:
    no.4 Lennox Blackmore
    no.4 Dujuan Johnson
    no.5 Miguel Montilla
    no.6 Sang Hyun Kim
    no.8 Gary Hinton (a fight which he arguably lost)

    He never beat the second best fighter in the division or the third best for that matter after he became champ.

    He beat Arguello who was never a proven 140 pounder by cheating.

    He was a doped-up energizer bunny.


    Tszyu:

    no.7 Hector Lopez
    no.3 Jake Rodriguez
    no.9 Jan Piet Bergman
    no.8 Rafael Ruelas
    no.4 Miguel Angel Gonzalez
    no.2 Sharmba Mitchell
    no.3 Zab Judah
    no.8 Oktay Urkal
    no.8 Ben Tackie
    no.7 Jesse James Leija
    no.2 Sharmba Mitchell
    no.7 Ricky Hatton

    +Mayweather, Chavez, Bramble, Laporte etc. etc.

    He faced the best competition from the word go. Probably the only fighter to be in the Ring TOP10 in his weight class in his first year as a pro. Unheard of.

    Nice Comeback to the Tszyu haters and thats all they are.
    In all of his Title Fights Tszyu fought Ring top ten opponents and out of 18 World Title fights 13 were fought away from home turf.

    If you want to talk overated resumes people should start with Aaron Pryor's. Its far more overated than Tszyu's taking in mind Tszyu fought a former World Champ in only his 4th Pro fight i mean how many boxers can lay claim to that. In fact how many can lay claim to winning a World Title at any weight in only 15 Pro Fights.

    Tyson - good but no where near one of the best HW's ever.

    Hopkins - beat up on smaller men most of the time.

    Toney - ATG? yeah right...
