    roly is a hatton nuthugger the only reason he is praising tszyu is to give hatton props, i guess he also thinks collazo would wipe out 147!

    Is he? Too bad. I like Ricky alot. But he is a bit limited. Tszyu would have probably beat him a few years before.

    He is older now, he got beatup in his last fight, and it appears that he has not been training. So there are siginficant differences with his last lay off.

    I personally think Kostya will never box again & the reason he's taking so long to make a any sort of announcement is because he really doesn't want to say goodvye to boxing, something he has done for many years.

    Another reason to take into account, is that longtime trainer Johnny Lewis will not be with Kostya if he did make a comeback. That's must be a factor for Tszyu & any decision, announcement he was to make.

    He hasn't fought since June 2005. I'm not for one minute doubting the man, because he has done some amazing things & proved the critics wrong before, but the longer he leaves it, the more the rust will sette in, thus being harder to shake off.

    Whatever he does, I wish Kostya all the very best. He is a genuine nice person who has achieved a great deal in boxing, yet hasn't let his success, wealth go to his head.

    Good ambassador of boxing is Tszyu.

    Yeah i suppose mabye. I think he was unfocused for the Phillps fight and had hatton only up by a round going into the last. I feel a younger Tszya may have had a higher punch output and been able to move a bit better. But Ricky was an animal that night so never can tell.

    kostya relies alot on his timing, but its hard to time someone rushing into you like a bull swinging.

    i like hatton, i also think koysta is a great fighter, but i'm no nuthugger. collazo is an ok fighter but not in of the top 5 at 147, if that answers your question. and that was hattons worst fight. and your a ****ing annoying ****.

    I think Kostya is one of those fighters who can define father time.
    He lost to Hatton becouse of his diferent style.
    I think Kostya might have enough fire in his old tank to go against some lesser welterweights, will he do it or not, time will show.

    Good point, i see what u mean. His footwork being better when he was younger would have allowed him to move a bit more to create space to time him. A relitivly older Kostya could take 5 rounds off of hatton, on my card. I see a prime Koysta being able to take 7.
