Who did Tszyu beat?

I'm not trying to talk down on KT or anything like that. I actually like KT. I seriously never saw any of his fighst before Zab though. Who else did he beat that had a good resume?

 

Somebody help me out or is the answer nobody? lol

 

Judah, Leija, Gonzales, Hurtado, Old Chavez, Old Mayweather, Mitchell, etc.

Does he have a GREAT resume...not really. A good one tho.

Still he WAS a great fighter (tho not as great as some of the Aussie posters make him out to be).

 

Thank you for replying. I did see him demolish Sharmba. By Old Mayweather do you mean Roger?

 

Once again thanks. I like KT. I just need to find some of his old fights and watch them.

 

It's fair to say that Chavez was done like dinner at that point, having lost in his previous fight to Willy Wise. To be fair, Tackie was in very good form, and it was one of his best performances. Probably better to put that win in place of JCC.

 

If you're looking for some of his better performances, you should check out his fights against Rodriguez, Ruelas, Gonzalez, Hurtado, and Mitchell II. Maybe some wouldn't put Hurtado in there, since KT was down twice in the first round. But he recovered after that and gave Diobelys an ass whooping and a half. There were some brutal body punches in there, I still love watching this one from time to time.

And I might put the Tackie fight in there too. Even though Tackie never ended up accomplishing all that much in his career, Kostya completely and utterly outboxes him and it's fun to watch some of the different combinations he uses, as well as how he only slightly moves his head to make Tackie miss most of his punches.

 

I was waiting for him to do that and drill Hatton with 1 of those signature straight rights.

 

HE beat Mitchell twice but also take into concideration that Mitchell was in his prime at that time and was the #1 guy at the time and a champion. When we look at Mitchell now, those wins dont look that good, but at that time they were spectacular. Same with Zab Judah, he was in his physical prime at the time Tszue beat him, right now Judah is past his prime.

 

Tszyu often sized opponents up in the 1st and used it as a feeling out round .
While many often say Zab was destroying Tszyu , Tszyu was just finding his range and getting everything set up . Tszyu was winning the second round till he caught Zab with that right .

 

I thought his fight against Jan Piet Bergman was a good one too. Jan was 32-0 going into this fight, and it was one brutal knockout!

 

his resume is good not great but i dont understand why fans make him out to be some kind of all time great, i mean i once tried making an example with tszyu and cotto and his fans were like 'dont compare cotto to someone like tszyu'

 

He is without doubt one of the great jnr welterweights of our time.

 

for doing what? the best fighters he beat are judah and sharmba.

 

I'm not going to bother, If you have seen his resume/achievements as an amatuer and professional and aren't convinced, then theres nothing much i can say or do. IMO he is one of the great jnr welterweights of our time.:hi:
