    You obviously know **** all about Alan Rudkin, so we won't go there.

    I think Vernon Forrest would fall into this category.

    He always looked happier fighting pure boxers rather than brawlers like Mayorga. I wouldn't call Mora a brawler but he has a very unorthodox style which seemed to throw Vernon off in their first fight.

    Forrest's a curious one. He was a true magician at mid to long range who would have given a lot of great welters through the ages a lot of trouble. Excellent fighter.

    Mayorga and Quartey gave him problems though, and he was never quite the same after the first Mayorga fight. He was handling Mayorga easily at times in the rematch but seemed unable to shake the memory of the initial counter, which cost him.

    That said, I've always considered Mosley a very fast, athletic brawler with a big punch - he's no pure boxer - and Forrest handled him fine.

    You losing it squire and not reading, or at least responding to, what I write. Stop looking for a way out and answer the questions. Your attempt at misdirection with the whole nationality thing is pathetic. You're basing your whole argument on 1 fight. Considering that far less durable fighters lasted the distance with Phillips (the aforementioned Mitchell was one of them) and that Tszyu had problems outside the ring I can conclude the Tszyu probably had a bad night and was not conditioned properly for the fight. Chavez is a pressure fighter Hatton is a wrestler who rabbit punches. See the difference. Hatton would get bullied by the physically stronger prime Tszyu and would have to resort to boxing (see Tackie fight for example) and he was never good at that. Classic forum? That was a pretty keen observation there: yes it is the classic forum! Lose the snobbiness sunshine...

    1.) Thanks for attempting to accuse me of something that YOU did. I answered your 'question' and gave examples to back up my answer. It was you who brought Lewis up with me being British and accused me of 'dissing' Tszyu like some acne infested teenager. Go back and read my post and you'll see that I gave more than one example as to why I thought Kostya wasn't at his best against aggressors.

    2.) I was comparing Tszyu and Chavez, not Hatton and Chavez. READ THE POST. And you might see the relevance, though I doubt it.

    3.) :rofl Snobbiness? OK mate, whatever floats your boat. Which is apparently bias, ignorance and childishness.

    I hate saying this, because you're entitled to your opinion, but just go back to the general forum.

    What part of Tszyu being past prime and 36 year old, inactive because of shoulder surgery don't you understand? You're still basing your whole argument on 1 single fight. I'll ask you again who is a greater boxer Tszyu or Carlos Zarate? I know Alan Rudkin was a local hero of your Shire but don't use him in an argument at least not as a big win...you look foolish.

    That plea was desperate but not desperate enough for my taste...

    :lol::lol:

    Comparing Rudkin to Tackie. What a ****ing joke?

    Rudkin is an absouloute class fighter. Like alittle Barney Ross (not as good though but still world Class) i think Rudkin could be rated a top20 bantam easy.

    Coming to your girlfriend's rescue again? We know that you don't like Tszyu and that you think he is overrated from many Tszyu threads so shut up, get a life and a real girlfriend.

    Tszyu has absolutely nothing to do with this. I was simply remarking on the idiocy and incompetence shown in every post you've made. Most recently in regards to Rudkin, who's obviously a fighter you know nothing about and are still trying to pass off as illegitimate despite the fact that you've come up with nothing to back up your claims. You're a fraud, that much is obvious right away. And you also just gave away the fact that you're an alias account. You're really on a roll there, bud.

    Rudkin was a British/Commonwelth champ who rarely boxed outside of England. He boxed 5 times outside of England and he lost 5 times. His biggest win is in a rematch with McGowan. To try to pass him as anything but an average fighter is ludicrous. Gave away? You're one paranoid dude :lol:. I haven't posted in 5-6 months couldn't even remember the password when I came back...real life, you should try it some time.

    I have him as TOP3 and he should be at least TOP6-7 in most non-biased lists. Lewis has a really deep resume and the skills to match.
