He did not eat anything on the day of a match. He changed that after the Vince Philips fight. He also did not use his fantastic defensive skill, but just consentrated on the offensive in that period . Tszyu underrrated Hatton and he was vulnerable because in some fights he not perform at normal level. Kostya Tszyu is my all time favorite fighter and i am sure he would beaten Floyd. His ability to cut the ring was inredible.
Zoo used to be very undisaplined between fights often putting on up to 40 pounds. Also relatively inactive barely fighting once a year. Caught up with him in the end with Hatton.
He's an odd combination of both overrated and highly underrated... it evens out and I think Kostya pretty much gets proper respect from everyone. A strong puncher who used ring IQ, albeit not always that smart as evidenced by his sometimes forgetting defensive technique or movement.
He did not eat on the day of the match :admin:admin:admin ??? Why in hell would anybody do that? The guy was insane.
I'm not sold on GGG yet, but his ring general ship reminds me a lil of kostya, Know one I've seen this decade controlled the ring better than kostya ..prob till GGG..and I'm a doubter of GGG still reckon the c.unt is unproven but will eventually be a unified champ, back to kostya inactivity cut short his legacy even tho he had achieved so much, also Hatton got lucky fought a bloke on a massive layoff....wat else was going to happen ?
