    There is also the contention that Tszyu didn’t actually quit. It seems his response to the question of his continuing was basically incoherent.

    Later, his trainer Johnny Lewis said that he stopped the fight and that if it was left up to Tszyu, Kostya would not have quit himself.

    It’s a technicality. He quit twice, just neither time on his stool. An odd asterisk.

    He was winning too even with all of Hatton’s bs.

    Long time since I read it, but if I recall correctly, he had no qualms about the fight ending in his biography (“I tried everything to stop him coming at me…”).

    It's definitely worth it, but you have to keep in mind that it's from a different time.

    Yes. He was not on his stool.
