kostya tszyus latest feelings on fighting.

The most concerning thing about the Hatton fight was that Tszyu's right hand was for the most part missing. I watched the entire fight waiting for a big right hand to land and aside from a few desparate ones Tszyu would start the later rounds with, there were barely a handful. I remember the punchstats saying Tszyu threw the lowest number of right hands in nearly all his fights against Hatton. If the right has gone missing, so has Tszyu.

I remember George Foreman saying 'The mind knows it should be throwing the right, but the body doesn't respond. That's what happens when you get old'.

Tszyu should not come back. His trainer Johnny Lewis even said that Tszyu should not fight again and he would not be in Tszyu's corner if Tszyu came back. Strong words from the guy who has been there for Tszyu's entire pro career.

 

Im Kostyas biggest fan and i would rather see him stay retired he doesnt have to prove anything else to me or his fans.

But to the fans that totally write him off as a non threat is just plain stupid.

Relentless goes on and on about how good Cotto is but Cottos best win to date is against a mental case in Judah that took 11 rounds for him to finish yet it took Kostya 2 rounds.

Kostya would still be a real threat to fighters like Maligniggi,Witter or anyone that isnt Hatton at 140.

At 147 he would be a threat to any fast slick type fighter still even today. I mean people go on that a win against Sharmba at the top of his game after a 2 year layoff that took him 3 rounds isnt that good while PBF took 6 rounds to get rid of a old done Sharmba.

Just stupid some of the Posters and Haters like Relentless and Powerpuncher that KNOW NOTHING ABOUT OUR SPORT.

I still feel Kostya has nothing to prove if he came back i would watch him and have we ever seen Kostya turn down a fight against anyone.

 

good post :good

 

i'm not a hater do you remember exactly why i started criticizing KT?

 

Koysta was a great fighter in his day...this is not his day, :-(.
He would not be in a good way if he fought any top people nowadays. Thats my view till it is proved Differernt.

 

it sounds from the interview that he definately will not come back!

 

During a forum chat, his father, Boris, wanted him to rematch Hatton on neutral ground. My idea would be Vegas with Jay Nady or Raul Caif Sr. as ref.:happy I found it interesting that Hatton's name came up first!
His wife and mother NEVER want him to fight again.:nono
Like all good family men, he'll listen to them, and then do what the hell he wants!
