    What a load of bull****.

    You sound like a guy that wtached highlights on youtube or read the result on boxrec. Phillips went to hospital after that fight - he walked through hell to get that win, thoroughly deserved.

    Tszyu had JUST lost a court case with Bill Mordey when that fight camp/lead up was happening and in his book admits his preperations for that fight were not up to scratch, it was from then on that he reapplied himself to his craft and then won 9 straight against mostly current of former champs stopping 8 of them before making Zab do the dance of the newborn giraffe.

    One loss does not wipe out the rest of his careers achievements, "a kitten" on the inside? Get the **** outta here.

    Tsyzu was never outboxed by anyone, just out slugged. He basically give boxers hell because of his timing and power.

    He was a southpaw killer, one of the few fighters in history who loves to fight and kick southpaw ass.

    He performed much better than Mayweather on common opponents...and they were pretty much mentally shot after Tszyu finished with them.

    Yeah, he lost of Philips, but even the best guys lose. He was going through personal issues and trained like **** for that fight. But you know what, he was the undisputed champion and ruled 140 for a number of years. He ***** slapped Judah when Leon (yeah, that guy) had Zab at #1 P4P, and was one of the top 5 P4P fighters at the time.

    I love Tzyu as he had this little Tyson aura back then. But i Agree people are overrating him this days..He would have smashed Cotto Imo, but would get outboxed by Floyd and would get cut bad against Pac.

    Well if you are agreeing with Relentless's opinion that Zab was his best win just goes to show you and Relentless are just casual fans.

    Because a real Boxing fan with knowledge knows Tszyu's best win was Gonzalez. FFS there is some serious **** getting spun about a HOFer which is ****ing just crap.

    You can tell the difference between Casual fans and Real Boxing fans.

    Because they watch tape they study a fighter.

    Now if like i said people watched Tszyu they would know he has lost like other Great fighters lost.

    But also if they did watch him they would also know Southpaws any Southpaw in any of the divisions will have a massively hard time in the Ring with Tszyu. If you watched tape and knew his style.
    8-0 8 KO's against Southpaws so i dont want to here anymore non factual Opinions on **** they never watch they are just guessing.

    He was never great? you're a ****ing moron. He has been rated
    by many aficianado's as a top 5 ATG at 140lbs. He retired w/
    33 fights but fought everyone he could've in that many fights.
    He was undisputed in a deep division when slick speedy guys
    were at there peak. Zab was considered the pernell w/ pop
    and sharmba mitchell was a LONG reigning world champ at jr
    welter. MAG was a talent widely regarded by many. Tzsyu
    blew them all away. Of course they're **** now that a pony
    tailed russian beat them up.
    ****ing imbecile. Log off. you're banned.

    Are there as many inbred dumbasses on the aussie forum too, or is
    it just the general forum. It seems that this site has really gone to ****
    in the last 2-3 years. you'll have maybe one real aficianado like me and
    you to 1000 posters. We need to start a new site, and make a really
    hard quiz that you can't boxrec.com or youtube to pass. Then it would
    be just the hard cores on the site.

    I love me some Kostya Zoo. What an exciting guy to watch, and I don't understand why he has so much haters. I can't find one thing dislikeable about him.

    There are no ****en excuses. He wasn't going to beat Vince if ud had the greatest camp of his life. They took that fight thinking it was a cake walked, and Tszyu hit ****ed up.
