Haven't you learned anything from watching boxing? So in lieu with what you are saying; Ali was in reality just overrated because he got beaten by Leon Spinks? Another tip. Walls of text makes garbage even more intolerable.
Ya, He Did Smoke A Tall Lanky Vernon Forrest For The Gold Medal. He Ruined Sharmba. He Was At The Top Of A Very Deep Division.
He Also Fought Ring Magazines #1 Contenders. He Didn't Pick His Fights. EVEN THE EGO BOASTING FLOYD MAYWEATHER GAVE HIM PROPS! THATS GOT TO SAY ALOT!
i did most of that to get the USA fight fans riled up and it worked a treat. If i was asked were do i rate Tszyu all time such and such this is my response. I have Tszyu just inside my Top 50 fighters all time. I rate Tszyu as the second best 140 ever to put the gloves on. His reign of having a belt from and being the number 1 140 from 1999 to 2005 is a great feat. Some have Tszyu lower than that on the 140 all time list but Tszyu gets extra points for me for being the longest title reign holder in boxing history at 140 and for being the only man to Unify that division. Im happy for him to get appluaded but what i hate is fans that never watched him much and say **** like he quit against a crack taker like Phillips and he quit against Hatton at the other end of 35 years of age after fighting only 3 Pro rounds in the last 2 and half years. He was avioded more than anyone i can remember because he was great risk little reward. Who knows what would have happened against Dela Hoya or Mosely or even Cotto or PBF but i say Tszyu would give them hell i know that much. I know were Tszyu stands for me a Great Champ in and especially out of the Ring always a Gentlemen in a sport where most care about money he cared more about the sport itself not getting a bad name. When he lost to Hatton he was gracious in defeat and said Hatton was clearly beating him even said to Hatton if he ever needs any help with anything dont hesitate to call him. Great Champ in my books and i will be a happy man to see him in th HOF.
Agreeing to the unusual (in the UK) fight time he wasn't used to (to suit U.S. TV skeds) probably contributed to Kostya's undoing. Though many times boxers fighting in various foreign time zones have no trouble with a body clock getting out of whack, KT's team was quoted pre-fight as having voiced their concern about this. They probbly knew something we don't.
Now if you consider Kosta a great fighter. Compare his resume to that of PBF's... This content is protected
