wtf did Kostya Tszyu do to get into the HOF ????

Obviously, you don't know **** about boxing.

 

His win against KT was his highlight of his career in all honesty. Sure KT gets more credit for beating JCC but that's b/c the man is a legend. hatton is not and will never be. And KT won't be a legend either.

 

That's nine. Cotto would get KTFO. :good

Some of those are close matchups too, like KT vs ODLH.

 

hofame.....zoo will live forever!

 

he made judah do the dougie with a single punch

good enough for me

 

yeah he ended the judah train. that was a huge win at that time. he beat alotta very good fighters. to me easily a first balloter

 

Time and again I've stated that I think KT may be a bit overrated historically. BoppaZoo and Casamayor can attest to that, because they've argued with me quite a bit on this topic. And no, I don't think that he should be given credit for beating a version of Chavez that had been shut out by Willy Wise, of all people, only a few months earlier. JCC was done like dinner by that point.

But...

He deserves to be in the HOF, especially when compared to some of the other fighters that have made the Hall in the past. He became unified and undisputed kingpin at 140lbs, defeated a number of good-to very good fighters quite comprehensively, and generally produced exciting and impressive performances. Not always, but certainly enough to warrant entry into the p4p rankings at the time.

He's in and he should be. No questions asked.

 

:good Well i dont but you went overboard saying Chavez beat **** out Kostya..

 

My favourite white poster.

 

:rofl love this fight..the crowd was booooooing tzsyu and he knock chavez down

 

double post

 

There is nothing to deny - one does not need to have superior knowledge of a particular subject to recognise when someone is displaying ignorance and arrogance. Ignorance equates to lack of education, arrogance is usually misplaced sense of pride from said lack of education - see my logical conclusion in there?

See above.

No, you haven't simply 'engaged in boxing talk', as I've pointed out you've demonstrated arrogance and ignorance in this thread, and now you're trying to change the subject and deflect it on to me. If you'd done nothing wrong you wouldn't feel this need to justify yourself to me, nor attempt to deflect or use smileys to further reinforce your weak point.

My original post to you was in response to this comment you made to Casamayor122:

You had also earlier made this comment about Tszyu's boxing skill:

So I picked you up on your continual questioning of Tszyu's boxing skill while conveniently ignoring the rest of what Casamayor122 said about Tszyu's accomplishments.

You've since gone on to state:

Apart from the first sentence, you don't refer to 'boxing skill' at all, instead you refer to 'lack of defense, a lack of stamina and a lack of knowing when to hold and rough it on the inside.'

Tszyu is not limited as a fighter. He had fallen in love with his power by that stage of his career and chose to go toe-to-toe with a slugger and came off second best. Other circumstances taking place outside the ring around the time of the fight contributed to Tszyu's state of mind during the fight and he made some stupid decisions that resulted in his loss to Phillips.

Watch some more of Tszyu's fights and you'll see him demonstrate all of the things you claim he didn't have in the Phillips fight - even try watching some of his amateur footage and you'll see a very skilled boxer.
