    Remember his knockout of Garcia. Needed it to win and got it in the last round. I only knew yesterday that that was Garcia the trainer lol. All these years and not knowing. I saw the fight at the time on replay decades ago. I remember Kostya flogged Tackie.

    What do you remember of the great Ghanian?

    How would he go vs Tim Tszyu?

    I think Ben Tackie was a better fighter than Tim Tszyu but Ben's natural weight was 140 and Tzysu is a 154 pounder. By the time Ben moved to 147, he was on the decline.

    Big size advantage for Tim. Probably too much for Ben to overcome but if they were the same size, prime Tackie would beat the brakes off of Tzysu with his punch output, stamina and excellent chin.

    Right, the first post had me scratching my head. Tim Tszyu isn't in the same division as his dad was.
