Please explain how when you aim a punch at someones chin and it connects (and tszyu did it twice to Judah) is a lucky shot? Yeah Zab won he first round big...with them whole 3 punches that actually landed flush.
I wouldn't go so far as to say nobody who's ever fought at 140 beats prime Tszyu, but Zoo at his best wouldn't be an underdog against any of them. At his best, Zoo's technique, focus and precision is just scary. In my view, he's no less than a 50/50 chance against ANYONE.
Zoo's best years where from 1998 to 2003 before he was injured. he beat alot of Prime guys and ruined the careers of guys out there that were undefeated, also Tszyu was avioded like the plague by just about everyone yet still to this day is criticized when really the man can only fight whoever wants to fight him. yeah he struggled against Phillips and Hatton but seriously there have been other boxers out there to lose fights aswell yet why does Tszyu get more heat than anyone else. Yes Mosley Skipped the whole division and no one says a word about anything they somehow blame Tszyu for not fighting Mosley or Dela Hoya when both of them avioded Tszyu it wasnt the other way round. because the Tszyu i know would fight anyone anywhere.
I ws actually watching some Tszyu fight DVDs earlier tonight, and I can only assume that anyone who says the likes of DLH or even PBF KOs Tsyzu obviously haven't seen the man fight. It's quite obvious from the stock standard lines of 'Crackhead Vince Phillips KOd him" and "It was a lucky punch vs Zab" and "He quit on his stool vs Hatton" that these clowns have never seen Tszyu fight. If they had they would have a hell of a lot more respect for his ability, and would understand why the whole boxing community gave Tszyu kudos and respect. But I guess these teeny bopper Johnny-come-lately's know more than the boxing community :hey Tszyu was NEVER clean KO'd in his career - the Phillips fight was ref stoppage and the Hatton fight was retirement, but somehow DLH and PBF KhimTFO? Give me a break.
Right on Achilles! :good Your posts have been scarce of late mate - I remember you from the Aussie forum back in the JD/Eaglewood/Boxa-168 days...where you been?
Tzsyu was feared by some of the best out there. No doubt about that. De La Hoya was fighting bigger name (so bigger money) and he definitely forgot him when he stepped up in classes.
the ref jumping in to save tsyzu from Phillips is not considered a stoppage by you ? No he wasn't down for the 10 count but he wasn't fit to continue either the ref did him a favor ! Quitting on his stool against Hatton to avoid being knocked out is not what you consider a stoppage ? The man is not on Mosley or DLH's level sorry bro
A TKO isn't the same thing as a KO. If you think it is, then you're probably the type of person that'd be equally as satisfied with a transexual, as you would be with a woman.
What? Did you miss the bit where I said 'KO' and then 'ref stoppage'? Is English your first language? Tszyu has never been clean KO'd in his career - prove me wrong if you can otherwise STFU :deal
I don't want to hear about if. And I don't want to hear 'should of could of would of' bull****. This content is protected From a couple of post I've seen on this thread it's obviously Tszyu fans cant live down the fact that he was handedly defeated. As I said before you so-called Tszyu fans are doing a disservice to Tszyu by attempting to rationalize and make excuses for his defeat. This makes you look like a poor sport.

Hi mate! I've always been around. Just reading mostly! It's a waste of time posting an opinion on here most of the time. So many chuckleheads and nuthuggers who don't know the first thing about boxing but back their hommies, swearing that the kettle ain't black, when their love childs get beaten! Case in hand, Judah's clan of followers who still think Tszyu got lucky, that the ref stopped the fight early, and thus Judah got ripped of and is actually better than Tszyu!
