What was Ricky Hatton's best win of his career? - Paulie Malignaggi - Kostya Tszyu - Jose Luis Castillo - Luis Collazo - Juan Urango - Ben Tackie - Vince Phillips - Other
No one has brought up the fact that Tszyu was 36 year old who recently came out of a 2 year retirement due to shoulder surgery (if I recall correctly). Or does this really matter?
Kostya got him to superstar status so It's gotta be that. The Collazo win made him a two weight champ which is always nice. In terms of his biggest Paydays, the crunching Castillo stoppage then got him the fraud fight and then the way he dominated Paulie got him the Pac fight.
He was 35 and coming off an impressive KO win over Mitchell. He did not come back with a shoulder injury it was fixed, so it does not matter does it?
I had such high hopes for ole Ricky boy after that, admittingly deplorable, win for him against KT. He's made some bad choices over his career since then and has been made to look a lot less competitive than he really is IMO. I hope he can come back and get some good fights in before calling it a day.
Easily Ricky's best win was over Kostya Tszyu, and that is why Mayweather was the HUGE favorite in their fight.
Kostya Tszyu was his best... The Phillips fight was a fight he learnt that he could operate at the top...:yep
