    Tszyu gets a little overhyped around here. He is on the Hatton, Judah, Gatti level. A b-class type of fighter. Still a good fighter but not a stand out amongst the top pros.

    Tszyu and GGG are more alike.

    Ruslan is ok , but beat a very average champion last night.

    RP hits hard but, when Kostya hit you your mama felt it in her uterus. Kostya's skill set was a level above RP's. What separates RP is his heart and will. As of now his will is winning him fights but what I want to see is him in there with a highly skilled guy that can rock him. But who is that much better than Alvarado? MA is no slouch by any estimation. If RP gets better defense he will damn near be unstoppable. I like this guy . His approach both mentally and physically is a breath of fresh air in the sport. What's the deal with guys from that part f the world? Is their life that tough? Their mentality is relentless. Good stuff to watch. Now it's time for 3G to step it up and look impressive too. I know he can look good against better op.

    Yup, he did.

    You can always count on a mindless statement several times a day on the general forum.

    Philips was a better fighter than Provo.

    Vince Philips was a very talented fighter, but I don't expect you to know that.

    Philips only downfall was the crack pipe.

    You're ******ed. Phillips wasn't a welterweight and he fought a guy your buddy Mayweather would have ducked in Ike Quartey (along with the rest of the 1997-2000 class of welterweights).

    Phillips was a good junior WW, I'd suggest you actually watch him fight instead of being a boxrec warrior.
