Kostya was shot

I hope you didn't cheat :twisted:

Good work. "The Whitechapel Windmill" Jackie "Kid" Berg.

 

I was thinking of British LWW world champs and struggled beyond Hatton, Witter and Berg....

 

Sure it was close, it was a obviously a Jewish fighter and the Dempsey article threw me towards a heavyweight.

 

Does he look like a heavy to you - even by classical standards?

The pics are completely random and unrelated to the headlines on the old mags it seems.

 

Its drawing not a photo. How was I to know how much artistic license had been employed....;O)

And I'm sticking with that story!!!

 

No really, just attempting to illustrate that it is a little sad the original poster having such an obsessive compulsion with hating Hatton that he has nothing better to do than start threads like this. Christ, whatever you view is of the fight it was three years ago, what is the relevance to the scene at this point in time?

 

Yep, it was just either a troll attempt (8 pages, impressive!!!) or a bored afternoon on Bettys part.

 

What are these trolls?

 

He certainly wasn't at his peak obviously but to say he was shot is going over the top.

Prime Tszyu beats Hatton I have no doubt about that but Hatton derserved all the praise he got from that fight. Forget how ugly it was, it was Hatton's peak perfornance against an inactive but still very dangerous Tszyu.

 

Maybe Lacy was shot BEFORE he fought Calzaghe then?

 

Oh well...

 

:huh

Lacy was at the peak his powers, a peak age and was destroying everyone before he fought Joe with nearly every respected boxing writer tipping Lacy to win by KO or stoppage. Completely different scenarios.

By the way, I don't think Tszyu was shot, just over the hill but still a very dangerous fighter.

 

Is it really that different a scenario? Most of this could just as well apply to Tszyu to the time of the Hatton fight.

 

And that's from sitting in your basement on your computer.

Imagine if you'd stepped outside.


The decline of Britain is overplayed. Same as the decline of Tszyu, he went from a fighter who would KO Hatton in a few rounds and P4P#3 to being a shot fighter....:rofl

 

I would consider Tszyu's left hand to be completely shot against Hatton. A one handed fighter when Hatton met him.
