    I agree he can be a little overrated, but he still without a doubt smashes everyone at 140 today.

    A HOF and the only man to Unify 140 wasnt Great he was just OVER RATED.

    ****ing ESB sometimes is laughable.

    Ive provided evidence after evidence that his opponents were statistically twice Aaron Pryors Opponents.

    Yet Pryor and Chavez are Greats blah blah blah but Tszyu is just Overrated.

    He fought Contenders and more experienced Fighters longer than most do in there career.
    He fought 30 or so fights he fought 15 Champions or Ex Champions 3 times the amount of Aaron Pryor.

    He held a belt at 140 for a total over 2 reigns just under 10 years. Another man with that sort of number is Calzaghe.

    Its just because according to some cause as a Youngster he lost to Vernon Phillips he is Overrated. Everytime.

    **** the Great Juan Manuel Marquez lost to Freddie Norwood and Chris John but we never here **** about that do we.

    **** i could do Tyson another held in ****ing really high regard he lost in his Prime to Buster Douglas (We all know that but) he gets not as much as Tszyu losing to Phillips when Tszyu was not quiet ready for Phillips size at his age yet.

    Yet everytime Philips. Now i know at times Tszyu has not looked the best against some fighters like in the first Mitchell fight but i feel the KO was coming just Mitchell used his leg to get out of that fight. Urkal he looked a bit shaky at times but all fighters have fights were they look not the best.

    But he Tszyu Knocked out some awesome fighters that were never the same after. And he did it all on foreign soil. Something Mayweathers and the Pryors know nothing about.

    Now im fine to let some here have there opinions thats what this site is about.

    But to say the most Overrated he wasnt that Great a Hall of Famer.

    And then some to say his greatest win was Judah well they dont know the sport or they have never watched as much Kostya Tszyu as a real fan.

    Thats my opinion because if you watched Tszyu and were a real Boxing fan not a casual one you would know his best and most flawless win was against MA Gonzalez.
    FACT.

    Mayweather would kick his ass. Just like Vince Phillips did.

    Kostya was good. Real good. Not great.

    His timing was beautiful.

    the thing about floyd is, he would consider the accuracy of tsyzu's right hand even before stepping foot in the ring and formulate a strategy accordingly. floyd's the gameplan master, the only fighter who comes close is bernard hopkins. he's clearly slowing down and still manages to out think his way to victories over younger, faster, stronger challengers.

    kostya cant outthink his opponents? That was one of his strengths. He turned the zab judah fight around after the 1st. it took mayweather 3-5 rnds to do the same thing.

    IMO, he would always have been a threat to Mayweather.

    I would pick Mayweather, 60 -70 %, but if he can take out Judah in the second with basically one punch, Mayweather has to be careful.

    Very careful.

    my point is, he cant out think floyd. I dont think anyone can for a prolonged period of time. also, the judah who fought floyd boxed more. if you look at the two fights you can see that zab employs varying methods.

    u could look it like that. or u could say that in one rnd kostya figured out zab. and in the next nullified his left, speed, movement and timed the perfect ko. the difference from rnd 1 to 2 was amazing.

    im not saying that kostya can or cant beat floyd. but i reckon as strategist they are par.

    Yeah, Kostya would destroy Pac. It was a fantasy fight and Pac has never won a fantasy fight.
