Kostya Tszyu Extremely Overrated

Instead of a rationale argument as to why KT would of beat Phillips, u attack Phillips personally just because he destroyed your precious KT. You don’t even have the guts to admit ( or give a little credit )that Phillips was just the better man than night. Instead u imagine/fantasize what KT would or could of done. You know what would be better than imagining what KT would of done? What would of been better is if he actually, in reality, fought Phillips in a rematch, then we could of seen if what u claim would have been true. This is how desperate u are to defend KT, you have to resort to fantasy to prove your point!

You constantly contradict yourself. You say PBF and Whitaker were def. wizards that’s why they could move up. Then u claim KT was a very skilled boxer, who could outbox most fighters. You claim he is a masterful tactician, a chess player, etc. Could he not use he masterful boxing and his chess player like boxing attributes to defeat fighters just one division ahead of him? His height would not of mattered if he had such skills.
I honestly don’t know where u are going with this one (regarding Barrera).
So what if some fighters were taller or shorter. You compare the height of VF, DLH, Mosley as a way to prove your point that KT was I guess too short to move up in weight? I can use the same circular logic to prove the opposite.
Manny Paq.- 5’6” he is at ww.
Berto- he’s 5’7” he is at ww
Gatti- 5’7”
Whitaker- 5’7”
Hatton- moved up to ww 5;7”
PBF- ww he’s 5’8”
Cotto- welterweight 5’7”
You keep saying that 147 lb division had weaker competition , are you insane? Again 147 lb division has never been a weak division. I don‘t know if you were around at the time, but here are some of the fighters in 147 at the time KT was an active fighter (some great, some just good exciting fighters). DLH, Trinidad, Quartey, Whitaker, Mosley, Forrest, Mayorga, Lopez, Carr, Rivera.
Ist off you say Mosley is a bad example because he walked around at 160 and he fought midgets. Can’t u do better than that. Most fighter who fight at 135 -140 walk around at 20lbs or more above their fight weight. Mosley made the lightweight limit that is all that counts, because in order to be a lightweight all that is required of a fighter is make 135lb limit, there are no preconditions on what a fighters walk around weight has to be. Regarding him fighting midgets, well KT fought Leija (so did Mosley) was Leija a midget when he fought KT (in your bias mind he was a legit challenger). Calling his opponents midgets is just desperate and has no basis in fact.
I am not comparing records I am only asserting that the fighters I named had the guts to move up in weight, not whether they were successful or not successful. You cite DLH losing to bigger fighters, what the hell does that have to do with KT not moving up in weight? It has nothing at all to do with it. What the hell does Corrales losing to Clottey or anyone else for that matter have to do w/KT refusal to move up in weight.
You do allot of mental acrobatics to try and justify what are mainly excuses as to why KT did not have the balls to move up in weight. Here are your claims: Corrales got beat by Clottey= KT not being able to move up in weight, Mosley weighed in at 160 had to lose weight = KT can't move up to welterweight Mayweather and Whitaker great defensive fighters= KT can't move to 147. You think you are making a good sound point by point argument but in actuality you sound ridiculous making all of these connections out of thin air. Your odd way of arguing just adds up to excuse after excuse. You try to put down other fighters who simply, w/o all of your mental gymnastics, moved up in weight when KT refused to.
2nd, I find so-called fight fans laughable who use the “ 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon” technique to prove their fav fighter is better or another fighter is not as good or to prove how successful their fighter would have been and in our case to prove why KT was unable to move up in weight. Do you know what the 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon game is? The game requires a

of players to try to connect any film actor in history to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible. This is what u try to do to prove your argument, but w/boxers (a lot of other people on this site use this same illogical technique). First off, you must be new to boxing because one of the unwritten rules of boxing is “styles make fights” and just because one fighter loses to a certain fighter it does not mean he will lose to another based on the association of a loss (you do this illogical comparison with PBF, Barrera, Mggirt, Whitaker, Corrales, Phillips).
Its circular reasoning and its not sound logic and I can prove it, as follows:
You mentioned Barrera and his loss to Jones, but Morales beat Jones, yet he lost to Barrera (twice). Mosley beat Margarito, but he lost to Cotto. Your logic would add up to Cotto beating Margarito based on him beating Mosley and Mosley beating Margarito. But what happened? Cotto lost to Margarito.
Again, Pavlik beat Taylor twice, Taylor beat Hopkins twice, yet Pavlik lost to Hopkins. Your logic would have had Pavlik beating Hopkins since Pavlik beat Taylor and Taylor beat Hopkins. Tarver beat Jones, Jones beat Hopkins, so Tarver should of beat Hopkins, but it did not happen that way.
I will use your boys record to do the same:
KT beat Mitchell (twice) Mitchell defeated Phillips, based on your logic KT defeats Phillips.
You know why your type of logic does not add up its because styles make fights and you can’t use this kind of illogical comparison in boxing. People who do it don’t know enough about the sport or they are just desperate to prove their point no matter if the way they do it is circular and illogical.
