How do you rate Kostya Tszyu?

You are right but only about Tszyu-Hoya. Mosley jumped the whole division. And Floyd didn't want to fight even a 35 year old Tszyu.

 

Tszyu was with showtime which was a pain in the ****ing arse back when your talking HBO fighters and making fights with them.

 

mid to high level hall of famer. excellent resume/

 

I know the hurdles that were in place...I'm just sad my Tszyu career DVD set didn't have one more killer win in it man.

 

I will be forever grateful to him for giving us fans the Zab Judah chicken dance.

Anyone here remember how much **** the Glass Jawed Judah talked before that fight then got KOed in about 4 minutes?

Priceless.

 

id put him between low level to mid level hof. Hes a great fighter but not an Atg. He doesnt quite crack my top 100 but hes close.

 

Mid level Hall of Famer. He is a top 5 all time at 140.

 

You totally don't mention how onesided the first round was.....And the fact taht Zab is a hot head, immature and inexperienced at that age. He was beaten by a better professional and Kudos to him, but Zab was in that ass in round 1. Round 2 as well until KT landed that short, crisp right as Zab was going back wiht his hands down.

 

Zab wasn't winning the second round even before the knockout.

 

Don't pay attention to charlie. He said that Sharmba was winning in the 1st fight against Tszyu. He just likes to make things up without actually watching the fights.

Zab and an old Chavez as signature wins I really I like Tszyu but RESUME is thin. Then again he was someones meal ticket so he was matched just right. You cant be great without engaging the greats of your era and being a popular Champ doesnt equate to legendary ATG status here. A popular exciting and outstanding Champion in his day, However grossly overertaed on this forum.

 

You really like him? You're the troll that never fails to make an appearance in Tszyu threads to say "Tszyu is overrated..."

 

hahaha, that's weak. it took kostya about a round to get judah timed & then it was all over.

 

high leve hof. very good wins over old chavez delahoya leftovers and over world class fighters, but none exactly atgs other than chavez or even hall of famers. i would of liked to see him redeem himself vs. phillips at least to prove it was a fluke, but never came around to it. he came off the canvas to beat hurtado and his most famous win is over an undefeated judah at the time. judah a hall of famer no doubt, i'd love to see a poll on the guy and see the results, but kostya needed at least another fellow hall of famer to gauge how great he really was because his pedigree was top knotch stuff.
