    Great fight.

    But I'm not sure these two guys are hall of famers.

    two fighters with similar styles but different physiques. good fight. Tszyu was a graet fighter and so was Forrest. definately HOFers.

    Awesome fight. Tszyu showing his boxing skills here.. It's too bad the entire fights not here, but still a good idea of how it all went down... Tszyu relied soley on his reflexes with virtually no guard at all back then. This is the tournament in which Johnny Lewis first wtinessed Tszyu in action and eventually talked him into moving to Australia so that he could train him. Kostya went pro the following year and the rest is history.

    Ali had Norton, Forrest had Mayorga. I do think his win over Quartey was questionable, but for the most part, IMO I think his wins over an undefeated Mosley and the way he beat him were more convincine than Winky's over Mosley. He's a HOF IMO.

    Tszyu I think didn't have a win over a prime ATG, other than a shot Chavez, but was a great fighter nonetheless.
