    Of course he can. He wins one fight against someone decent and his name will be back in the mix. Attention spans are short, one win and it will be billed as "the new Tszyu"

    Now if he gets brutally KOd in his next fight ..

    The only bouncing Tim will be doing is off the canvas in future fights. He's done at the elite level.

    Tim is a very good fighter but that performance yesterday was perhaps the most inept I have ever seen from somebody who has obvious high level talent. I don't like to say it but he appears to have started drinking his own bathwater. The praise had got to his head and he fought that way. I'd be surprised if he made big waves in the future.

    Of course he can bounce back, 29 is pretty young nowadays and TT only has 2 losses. It's not like he's been thrashed over & over again. Obviously, he needs to do some serious work in the gym.

    Does anyone know if Tszyu does much hard sparring? If he doesn't then he most probably needs to do some.

    He might have the AJ syndrome. He looks great when things go as planned, but falls apart or shows vulnerabilities when the opponent doesn't act right or he gets hurt. Another issue is, he seems to lack defensive awareness or survival skills when hurt and under attack. In all honesty, can that be taught? If someone is knocked for a loop, their senses skued, is covering up and protecting yourself a default for some and others just stagger around with their hands down kinda like Tszyu did at times.

    Maybe needs a new trainer. He could go to Sugar Hill and become Kronk Tszyu.
    Be the big dog, land the RH and go home.
    Add the Philly Shell for defence and he'll be unstoppable.
