    i don't think hatton beat the prime tszyu.

    Fair enough, Tyszu certainly wasnt an easy fight and still brought major danger, but after 6-7rounds he was blowing harder than a steam train. The massive low blow and hitting and holding taint the victory a little

    BTW Hitman_Hatton yes he was 35 but 3months away from being 36

    Yeah.

    But not against Rahman.

    He was ultra prime for Rahman.

    Cmon guys ... Hatton's own team said 'We got him (Tszyu) at the right time'

    Tszyu barely made weight for that fight ... spent the week up to weigh-in in a sweatsuit, as reported by Hatton's own team.

    Threw the lowest number of right hands comparatively to any of his other fights and looked completely gassed by the fifth round.

    I think it's a perfect example of a guy showing his age and injuries all in one clear moment. I think talent alone kept him in the fight as long as it did. Quite a shame to go out that way. He's a much better fight than Hatton is.

    Sadly i have to take the Hatton loss on the chin. However i will say that is not the best KT that Hatton could have faced. KT was effective in the fight but not optimal :twisted:

    agreed,but the tszyu he faced was p4p no.3,beating kostya tszyu at any point in his career is something special.

    As is beating Lazcano, he's rated by the IBO ya know...:lol: Tsyzu was nearly 36, which is ancient for a little guy, get over it.

    To the OP: Tsyzu did have a decorated amateur career, which is a big reason he progressed quickly (like Gamboa should)

    Yes, Lazcano and Tsyzu are at about the same level (A+ elite), both great wins.
