    If you thought that fight was bad, this one is much much worse.

    I still find his style and superior skills much more entertaining than Tszyu.

    Tank is clearly the bigger draw.

    Well you might but don't come in here and accuse a world champion of fighting stiffs and then mention guys like William Zepeda. It just makes you look dumb.

    It's one thing to like a certain style of fighter but another thing entirely to denigrate a guy who has done a hell of a lot more in less fights than the guy you are bigging up.

    No, Tank is probably not bigger in Australia.

    I can say that I hope Zepeda starts upping his level of competition. I still enjoy watching him fight.

    I can also say Tszyu needs to do better than fighting retired smaller men, and at the same time say I'm not interested in him fighting.

    What's the problem?

    We can say the same to you. What's the problem with us Aussies pumping up Tszyu? He is a big deal down here and we want him to do well and we have confidence in him.

    There's no problem, just don't **** on someone like Davis for doing something less pathetic than Tszyu.

    If you can't see the difference then I don't know what to tell you lad. Nothing pathetic about Tszyu he is a throwback fighter.

    People want to take away Tim's shine. They want to steal it. But they're ALL going to get SHOE-SHINED and then knocked out in Round Number 9!!!!!


    They will all fall. Not if. When.

    Well the problem is that you are ignorant.

    Tszyu has fought the best competition he can. Lead up fights with ranked contenders Hogan, Horn, T Inoue and Gausha are all better than anybody Zepedo has fought in his weight class. Then you have Harrison who had beaten Charlo and almost beat him a second time, Ocampo who had only lost to Spence and Fundora and then Mendoza who had KO'd Fundora to be the logical contender to Tszyu's crown and who many on here tipped to beat Tszyu. Well Tszyu destroyed him with no real issues at all. He hasn't fought bums, he's fought legitimate top 10 guys and ex-champions. Your guy is still working the club circuit.

    Tszyu - opponents with a combined W/L of 222-19-7 in his last 10 fights. Some of those at legitimate world level including 2 ex-champions.
    Zepedo - opponents with a combined W/L of 241-42-7 in his last 10 fights. A mix of pub fighters and domestic names.

    What exactly would you have Tszyu do? I will try to walk you through this again so that you understand;

    Charlo - AWOL, deliberately ducking Tszyu, legal issues and inactive. Tszyu has waited two years and taken several risky fights as the mandatory whilst waiting for this fraud. Not Tszyu's fault.
    Lubin - pulled out of negotiations. Not Tszyu's fault.
    Crawford - logical fight but Crawford was waiting on Spence to see if the rematch clause was going to be activated. Not Bud's fault, not Tszyu's fault.
    Ortiz - not ready and no negotiations have happened anyway. Not Tszyu's fault.

    So, tell us all what you expect Tszyu to do. The biggest names at 154 are either avoiding him or are unable to fight. Those that have been willing to take their chances have been routinely dismantled. Thurman is a name and is prepared to fight. So why shouldn't Tim take that opportunity given nobody else has stepped up to the plate?

    It's one thing for you to come in here and criticise the guy and tear him down. It's entirely another to offer a solution or at least provide some evidence of your claims.

    TELL US WHAT YOU EXPECT THE GUY TO DO instead of hurling **** from the cheap seats. Who has Tszyu ducked? Anybody? Come on genius, tell us.
