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

Jordan was the best ever, the #1 , JCC is an ATG maybe top 30 to 20, there is a diference.

And you say that Kostya is very good but Tayor is great? come on Freddy, you are not being fair.

What if JCC was to be inducted into the HOF along side Duran (the king of kings) and I made a thread saying, HOW THE **** CAN THAT MEXI" CABBIE FIGHTING PUNK BE INDUCTED ALONG SIDE DURAN????????? WTF?????????? , would you come to the aid of JCC?

 

lol i dont get why we just cant agree to disagree. its whatever honestly.

 

Um, Freddy...you do realize Tszyu was still on his fight when Phillips stopped him, right? He wasn't really what you would call "KTFO cold". I also don't know if many people know what was going on outside the ring in Tszyu's life at the time that distracted him from training for the fight, but he obviously learned from it and went on to recover and become a better fighter than before; which is why I wouldn't really call the Phillips fight his "prime".

 

JCC is a lot higher up the ladder than Kostya, but that dos't mean that Kostya is not deserving of a spot in the HOF, a guy that cleaned out his division, a division that the experts were expecting big things from , they did not live up to their hype , but that is not up to Kostya.

IF Kostya had gotton a big scalp, just say a Floyd etc.... then he would looked apon diferent, but a group of great boxers moved through Kostya JWW division without facing the king there, that is not up to him, he would have fought who ever.

Kostya is the type of boxer that all fans should love, stays in one division to unify, does not drain heavaly to fight smaller guys, fights mostly in other countrys, will fight any one , what is not to love?

 

I still sometimes wish he would fight one last time; and he said he would be willing to fight one more time if it was someone like Mayweather, Pacquiao, or Mosley. Would just like to see him fight one last time.

 

Jesus Christ. You do realize he went after fights with other top fighters and they didn't want to fight him because he was an Australian based fighter who wasn't well known in the US and so brought very little reward for fairly high risk, don't you? No, you don't. You're just going to carry on acting like you can read Tszyu's thoughts because his idea of boxing and how it should be done is alien to you.

 

It would be kinda like Wlad trying to fight Corrie Sanders now...pointless. If I recall by the time Tszyu had rebuilt himself into contention Phillips had gone downhill pretty badly.

 

"Quiet and humble" doesn't mean he wasn't looking for a fight with Shane Mosley or Oscar De La Hoya. It just means he wasn't being an ******* about the way he approached it. And if I remember, after the Phillips fight Tszyu had some lingering legal issues with his promoter at the time to resolve, and by the time he won the WBC title (even the interim one) Phillips was stopped by Terron Millet.
