Imaginary argument? Again - ATG - P4P or at 140lbs? P4P maybe not, but I don't see how he's outside the top ten or far off it all time at 140. Who else unified the weight class at 140?
If you think Lopez is great it is not based on his opposition.....it is more based on how he dismantled all stood in front of him in his prime. Lopez was just as technical as say JMM but he didn't need to wait to the end of his career to use those skills offensively. But like prime JMM he didn't get a chance to fight any great comp though unlike JMM who had great comp around they just didn't want to fight him. Kostya struggled with guys and was knocked out in his PRIME! And please don't give me the Kostya was having mangerial problems bull****, and it affected his training. Kostya went into the fight arrogant and didn't adapt once in the ring. After that they built his confidence up with 3 ham and egger opponents.
Real ATGs: Leonard, Pacquaio, Hearns, Mayweather, Whitaker, Duran, Jones Jr. etc. If you want to clean the ATG lists of undeserving names you should start with boxers Zarate, Ricardo Lopez, Olivares, Galaxy, Jofre, Harada etc. There are a lot of boxers who don't deserve to be there.
I am saying he is not ATG at 140lb....I don't think we are talking about P4P. Why do I say this, because I believe there are better 140lbs champs than Kostya in the history of the division regardless of the silly belts Kostya acquired. Because of all the silly sanctioning bodies and there often shitty titleholders winning these belts doesn't always mean that much. You have to take it case by case. When I rate ATG's at 140lb.....I am asking who were the best Champions at the division.....period. I don't NECESSARILY care about unification because unification is not always possible. POLITICS PLAY A ROLE. What I care about is who you beat, when you beat them, and who beat you, and when they beat you. That is what I care about
bahahahah once again you offer nothing my friend, the people i am refering to are the long list of people arguing against you at this moment you ****:happy How about you save your patriotic crap for other American's, because quite frankly I dont care at all about "REPUBLICANS"and "GEORGE BUSH JR's", tell that crap to your Grandkids...... You wanna a break?? How about your Jaw or your neck? :good
Fair enough.....though I like Lopez....but fair enough. But again Kostya fans can calm the **** down because no one and I mean no outside of Khan fans are saying these 140lbs are BETTER THAN HIM!
I don't think fighting in a bogus division with a grand total of 50 boxers and dismantling them is that impressive. And he lost the 1st Alvarez fight.
I never go keyboard warrior really but you couldn't. I actually boxed amateurs, my dad boxed, my uncle his brother boxed amateurs, my grandfather boxed professionally, and I even have a famous cousin that boxes. I am NOT saying I could kick your ass and all that stupid ****. But look I have gotten in the ring with 20 something coworkers at my job who are much larger than me. Some go to gyms and have made them look like fools. So all I am saying is save the key board warrior ****. You are half way across the world somewhere.......so is it really possible for us to settle it that way? Lets just use what we got......our minds and our fast typing skills for now ok CLUBBER LANG!
Ok.....I think he lost the first fight also but I disagree about him not being ATG at the division. But what does have to do with Kostya being ATG at 140lbs......just asking.
Let's get this straight you are talking about ATGs at a certain division? Then both are ATG in their respective divisions. I though you were talking ATG period. If you think that Tszyu is not an ATG at 140 then there really isn't anything to talk about...
"give me a break" you were asking for it :blurp bahahahaha your not saying your a badass or anything, but you actually boxed amateurs, your dad boxed, your uncle his brother boxed amateurs, your grandfather boxed professionally, and you even have a famous cousin that boxes....... :yepWOW:yep If you havent noticed, about 85% of people on this site box, or have boxed or know somebody who boxes, congratulations you had a couple of Am fights but i really dont care!! Your not saying you could kick my arse?? I dont care mate, plain and simple! This is about Kostya and your hate, not about you and your families boxing heritage or how you beat up a couple of workmates, im still relising how lame you are for even posting things like that:scaredas: Keyboard warriors are people like you who bad mouth elite boxers as if you have done more than them!! Shut your face and go tell some more people about your famous boxing family crap:hi:
There is only one problem with all this jibberish above. I CAN BACK UP MY AMATEUR RECORD. I CAN BACK UP SHANE MOSLEY IS MY COUSIN. And if you notice........IT IS NOT EVERYONE IT IS THE SAME ****ING PEOPLE TRYING THIS KOSTYA TZYSU PROPAGANDA EVERY SO OFTEN! A few names change here and there but by and large the same people. Answer me this. How else do you explain a thread about an imaginary argument no one has made. AGAIN NO ONE EVER SAID BRADLEY, ALEXANDER or even KHAN is BETTER THAN KOSTYA! But Kostya fans SURELY WANT TO CONVINCE YOU OF THE FACT THAT HE IS THIS ATG......HE AINT! And wait wasn't it you who started your CLUBBER LANG routine......I am just STATING A FACT....I HAVE BEEN IN THE RING! I have over 60 amateur fights. So why would I be worried about SOME KEYBOARD WARRIOR WHO IS HALF A WORLD AWAY! I didn't tell you I am going to break your jaw......hahahahahahahaahahahaha.....That was you. I simply told you VERY ****ING UNLIKELY......EVEN IF WE WERE NOT HUNDREDS OF MILES APART!
What does this have to do with anything?? I can back up my amature record, have it all documented. But why would I need to justify myself to a piece of sh*t like you?? Congratulations you are related to Shane Mosley, something you had to bearing on or choice, but something that happened by chance through birth! Congratulations sir, you really are one of a kind!:deal How can you hate on Kostya so much when Sugar and him are such good friends and share the same Korean Background?? Did you uncle dog you one day to hang with Kostya instead?? :nono Well son, if you were so crash hot in the amatures and had over 60 fights, then mabey you would be a stand out Pro, but thats not the case, you are a nobody living your life though this website telling anyone who will listen that your related to Shane. Can you please add me as a friend??
1. I don't hate Kostya Tzysu......I HATE SOME OF HIS PROPAGANDA ALL THE TIME FANS! 2. I was NEVER good enough to go pro. But if you know anything about fighting, having experience in the ring means I AM CALM and not FULL OF NERVOUS ENERGY SO I CAN SEE YOUR PUNCHES COMING! But again I was just responding to your CLUBBER LANG ROUTINE........and I just want to say you deserved the Oscar. Now if you want to play CLUBBER LANG......ok cool. If you want to debate Kostya cool. But I get it you believe Kostya was an all time great at 140lb well I say he wasn't. I am not REALLY TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU....I know you cannot be convinced. I am simply COUNTERING YOUR PROPAGANDA as I see it.
Requiem - I think your position would be helped if you rank say the top 10 or 20 140 lbs fighters of all time. You said in your first post in this thread that Roger Mayweather took Tszyu to the limit - I was at that fight, Roger felt the power early and got on his bike for the rest of the fight, Tszyu won that fight 118-110 on two judges cards and 119-109 on the other - That's hardly what anyone with your level of experience would call anything but one sided! I don't get why anyone gets so upset about ATG lists - They're subjective - There's no defined single source of truth, why care that much. There's only facts and achievement!
