    Stop being ignorant F.. Fuentes, Sanchez, Rodriquez, Bramble, Lopez, Ruelas, Chavez, Bergmann, Judah etc etc..

    It's very easy to dismiss these fighters as being too young, past it or never close to it when accounted by Tszyu.. None the less, these guys had been greats, become greats or remained great fighters..

    Tszyu completely ****ed up Fuentes, Sanchez, Bergmann.. Judah is still kicking some goals today, yet Tszyu made him dance like a nut huggers I.Q.. (Limited in co-ordination). Ruelas was handed his arse by Tszyu.. he'd been a huge performer only months earlier.

    Like I said mate, Mordey's demise from TeamTszyu destroyed many, many, many opportunities for the Tszyu legacy..

    None of those guys were really slick defensive fighters though. Bramble and Chavez were about a decade from their peak, you know that too deep down. Ruelas was handed his arse by Tszyu, but was handed it a lot quicker by De La Hoya , when Ruelas was definitely at his peak. Fuentes, Bergman and Sanchez were not elite fighters, just good respectable contenders. Good results, but nothing to suggest beating them means you can beat Mayweather.

    Judah , great result. But Judah is not slick like Floyd.

    Sorry but NONE of the fighter's you have mentioned are ELITE level boxers. Do you think that they were when they fought Tszyu ?

    For starters Tszyu and/or his management should have tried to face the other ELITE guys around at the time around his size but they never did for whatever reason when the big names all seemed capable of fighting each other.

    Now please don't say they all ducked Tszyu because if they were all scared of Tszyu why were they all willing to fight elite level guys elsewhere.

    The 1% can really grind you down though. Only elite level posters stay for the long term. Many a good poster has not been able to handle the stress of posting on this forum.
