    Tsyzu wasn't good vs pressure

    I prefer Kostya over GGG. I love both but Tszyu is one of my absolute favourites, so much so that there's a solid case for him being my actual favourite of all time. I still to this day haven't watched the Vince Philips fight - I didn't have the internet back then so I only got to see boxing that was shown on terrestrial TV. And I wouldn't have watched the Hatton fight either had I not seen it live - obviously it was shown over here in the UK. That's how much I like Kostya.

    :lol: I was absolutely gutted when Tszyu lost those two fights. The only way I could find out boxing results from international fights then (unless it was a big fight or one involving a big name star) was in the back pages of The Times newspaper on Mondays. I used to always eagerly check the results page every Monday after Tsyzu had fought to see if he had won or lost.

    GGGfar>Kostya. He wants to rematch Canelo. Kostya forgot about Phillips.

    He's my fav too. I wish he could be more popular. Mosley and Oscar steered clear of his path. A fight with those 2 will be great.

    Lol very confusing post.
    GGG canelo rematch got nothing to do with Tszyu Phillip.
    One is a close match one is a ko.
    I wish he did the Lewis way, but I'll not be confident of a win, maybe his crew thought the same. Any way, it's also Philips fault that he's not relevant on the latter date.

    Yes they would have for sure.

    There's a nice article if you do a search on Google about the time Mosley went over to Australia (or was at least over there at the time) to pay Tszyu a visit at his home after Tszyu had sent him an invite to do so.

    Do a search for 'Shane Mosley & Kostya Tszyu: Boxing’s Smiling Assassins'

    What hurts Tszyu's legacy is that he had ZERO interest in trying avenge his loss to Philips. He never wanted any parts of Cool Vince again. Like I said before, he lacked true heart.

    Tszyu wasn't more skilled than Golovkin. Faster, yes. But Golovkin has a comparable skill level, and actually a higher ring IQ.

    Golovkin never got his **** pushed in by a crack head.

    I think that your post is more confusing than mine.

    Not sure about that. Speed makes GGG tentative, evidence in the Jacobs and canelo fights. He refused to open up but instead rely on his jab.
    Not a slight to GGG, as knowing once shortcoming is sign of good iq.
