    If he wasn't completely ready for Hatton then, he'll never be. As for fighting late at night, it's only a couple of hours later then what he'd be fighting in the US. Hatton had to fight late at night as well.

    Tsyzu will be considered a top ten all time P4Per by those in the know.

    Coming out of retirement would not enhance nor would it tarnish his legacy.

    I don't believe so - he had one of his shoulders reconstructed before he came back to rematch Mitchell, and he said it was stronger than ever, so I don't think he carried any shoulder injuries into the Hatton fight.

    He had his shoulder operation before the Hatton fight however also had an operation after the hatton fight but i dont think it had anything to do with the loss Hatton was just too good on the night. I think you will find that Tszyu wanted the publicity for his Health food launch and wasn't going to get it by a press conference so he mentions that he might figh again and all of a sudden he gets 10's of thousands of dollars in free advertising. he wont be comming back. As a trainer i have heard he is too demanding and expects everyone to do what he does which for 99% of the population isn't realistic. I think he will continue to make money by lending his name to more products both here and in Russia

    He didn't throw his left much although it was probably more to do with hatton trying to hump him.

    Hatton forced him to fight at a pace he wasn't comfortable with.

    He seemed okay winning 3 rounds in a row before Hatton hit him in the nuts. Hatton is the dirtiest fighter in the world and got away with it in his homeland. When the going gets tough Hatton uses gutter tactics which he tried against Mayweather but lucky a proper ref pulled him into line to fight by the rules and was given the beating he deserved.

    i agree that the low blow changed the fight, from turning in zoo's favour that punch really took the wind out of his sails and put hatton in the drivers seat, it was full blooded and fukn low, dirty tactic yes, kostya should have dropped on his feet and not continued it would of taught hatton a lesson, great work by mayweather who was dirty also in the fight but use hatton like a rag doll and at the end just decided to finish it...

    KT had 5 minutes to recuperate if he chose, he didn't. Hatton's relentless pressure forced KT to quit. Unfortunate but true.

    bull**** the ref and fans were hounding him he had no choice, the fight was a fix. That ref was paid off by Warren, they also brought forward the weigh in time without telling Tszyu's team which is the reason he came in over.

    :roll:

    You forgot to add in the judges who also had Hatton ahead at the time he quit.

    Tszyu's left hand was non existant when he fought Hatton, he was nothing like the fighter he was.
