General forum posters are so dull and lacking knowledge of this sport that they can't even spell Kostya TSZYU's name correctly. And to answer the thread's question - no, not yet. Not in terms of accomplishments, anyway. I do believe that Golov is a better fighter than Tszyu ever was, BUT Tszyu's resume is still better than GGG's by a good margin.
Junior middleweight LIMIT is 154. Anything after that up to 160 is considered middleweight. Do catch weights suck? Sure. But it doesnt change the fact Cotto beat the lineal middleweight champion within the middleweight parameters. Lets put it this way, if GGG fights and beats Cotto at a catch weight between 154.1 and 159 are you prepared to say Gennady will not be the lineal middleweight champion?
We do, because they were both primed and we saw Mr.Vincent Phillips knock him out. :deal [yt]AVgm3ZLjmXw[/yt] Tszyu was out on his feet.
If they faced each other ten times, what would the outcome be? Nobody ****ing knows dealdeal:firedevi:
