Who's a B class fighter? Vince Phillips? It was also a time when Tszyu was distracted and Phillips was incredibly motivated, and Tszyu hang tough against someone who was a nightmare stylewise for him. Seriously, have you ever seen Tszyu fight as an amateur?
Tszyu maybe did hurt Phillips, but he never stopped him. I never tried to make out as if Phillips was never bothered, but he never looked like getting dropped. Quartey stopped Phillips inside 3 rounds, convincingly. Quartey's power against Tszyu's is close, but Quartey hit harder if anyone had the edge.
PPl seem to realy hate DLH, the guy would had proly koed tszyu inside 11 rounds, he was simply better in every aspect exept maybe infighting, he would had boxed tsszyu'head off to a wide UD or late tko
This can't seriously be your opinion, if it is then you haven't seen much of Tszyu on film. Tszyu had a power jab, he'd measure his opponents for the right hand using the left or feint to set up a counter (that's another thing Tszyu is, an excellent counter puncher)... feinting and measuring isn't 'pawing', pawing is Fres Oquendos' jab in the Holy fight, the jab is employed offensively but has no speed, snap or power. Like I said before Tszyu has an excellent left hook to the body, great punch he uses often (and has stopped good fighters with, e.g, Hurtado, Mitchell), arguably more potent than any single body punch in Cottos' arsenal. Tszyu also has straight shots to the body, the left hook upstairs and uppercuts all in his arsenal, not as bread and butter as some of his other punches but it's not like they never show up in fights (like in Wlads'). Also Mosely himself has huge respect for Tszyu, look at some of his quotes regarding Kostya, the same goes for Mayweather, two great fighters who see Tszyu as great... why? If you've got an eye for prize fighting you know Tszyu is special :smoke
The so called one dimensional Tszyu against the man that beat Mosley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEV9dyIYwI4 Relentless you need to watch more video footage before making assumptions. Koyla i dare say youve seen this fight. The so called One Dimensional Tszyu.
You dare say correctly. One of my favorite fights to watch, amateur or pro. A complete dismantling of an excellent fighter.
Americans are hilarious. "Oh look Oscar and Mosley fought each other. The fights were close, they must both beat that non-American!"
But from his post it was referring to the names solely. Obviously opposition has something to do with it, I was trying to point out that the performace against those opponents is the most important thing. I was exaggerating in that post though, fair enough, although by only quoting one part of the post you have taken what I have said completely out of context to try to make your point.
figures you have calzaghe over jones lol. WHen prime for prime Jones ass rapes calzaghe. BUt to each his own, cant fault you for that seeing as how he is you favorite figther
But I have done that clearly. Just because I don't agree with your prediction doesn't mean I have not done this.
Miguided patriotism, combined with lack of exposure to fighters outside their own backyard. Look at how little so many of them think of Dariusz for example, anybody who saw his fight against Virgil can't possibly feel that way :huh
Based on what? His one impressive KO victory of Phillips, who was up at welter weight, as opposed to jr where he fought KT? Phillips had big problems outside the ring also, which was what caused a lot of his inconsistency.
