9 years ago the OVERATED Tyszu QUIT on his stool against Hatton...

Oh! Okay so he was out cold on his back! My mistake! That really changes things doesn't it!

 

Bad refereeing is bad no matter where it is !

 

The OP is scum.

Tszyu was a top p4p boxer. His power, ring generalship, accuracy, footwork were all beyond what his record demonstrates. Watch him box, evenin early fight he was scary.

His record is his biggest flaw. None of the big names wanted to fight him for a long time...Hatton was a beast in that fight, which ended up being Tszyus last.

He was half russian, half Korean like GGG....perhaps that is the power mix?

 

I agree with everything you said except the Hatton being a beast thing ..What he did with Tsyu was not boxing at all

 

To be honest it was probably the only way he could've beaten him, so I have to give him props.

I actually think the young, relentless Hatton got a bit complacent after this win. Despite his wins, he seemed to have lost that drive from his earlier fights.

 

Yeah he wasn't the relentless guy he had been before Tysu that's for sure .


Seems that was the climax of his career but the officiating in that hat fight was just terrible but hey good for Hatton

 

Overrated by who? 6 Aussies from 2007 bitching that Mayweather never fought him? Get out of here.

 

If you want to talk about overrated 140lb fighters look no further than Aaron Pryor......

 

So now Pryor is overrated atsch

 

He's a great fighter no doubt but his resume is **** poor.

Outside of Alexis Arguello who'd he beat? A 35yr old on his way to retirement Antonio Cermeno the rest of his competition was poor.

Pryor was a great fighter but it's more myth of what he would have done because allegedly he was ducked from Duran right through to Larry Holmes.

 

Its a pity that boxing fans dont respect fighters like Tszyu that truly had respect themselves for the sport.

Tszyu-Hatton was a brutal fight. Both fighter took alot of punishment.

"Happy to quit"???? You must be kidding. Tszyu was getting hammered on the inside, taking brutal punishment to both the head and body.

I became an instant Tszyu fan when after his fight with Hatton he was told that the fight rested in the balance in the final round with the judges and he chose not to come out.......Without hesitation and somewhat suprised at the thought the judges could have him ahead in the fight he said, " I'm not kid myself, I know where I'm at in the fight, there was no point to continue in the condition I was in."

If more fighters had the common sense of Tszyu, there would be less fighters going through life slurring their words and basically living their lives punch drunk.

Respect for a fighter that was a true champion please!!!!!

 

**** the morons on this site! The guy was coming off an 18 month lay off and two operations.

 

They still can't take it.

 

That was the sweetest display of combination fouling ever put together in a boxing match. Well done Hatton!
