    Hatton bested the 2005 Tszyu. Could he have handled the Tszyu of 5 years prior?

    Tszyu still did good in that fight, a prime Tszyu with a ref that doesn't allow all that holding and smothering from Hatton would most likely stop him in the later rounds.

    Maybe Tszyu could school him.

    I think Tszyu would win but Hatton would push him hard and make it a good fight

    Tszyu was far the better fighter. Different ages, different miles on the odometer, different ref... DIFFERENT RESULT

    Tszyu didn’t sound terribly confident in his book. Yet he felt he had a good chance with Ray Robinson :lol:

    I will say this it was a bloody ripper of a fight back in 2005, vicious.
