Dude you just made most of what you said up. First off the Hatton fight was made before KT fight with Mitchell, so why in the **** would he be talking about a fight with Floyd when he already had a fight with Hatton set. Mosley sent KT at offer, and KT's people sent back a letter that said they respectfully decline, and that a fight with Shane didnt fit into their plans of how he would finish out his career... But its your story:good
The hatton fight wasn't made that early! Tszyu wanted mayweather, but his management lined up the hatton fight instead, and not before mitchell!

I live in Australia...they just had Mosely and Tszyu on tv talking together about why they didn't fight which they said was as I wrote...and the fact that after Mitchell 2, Tszyu publicily said he wanted Gatti and Mayweather. The showtime/hbo thing derailed both those fights...and Hatton was pushed to mandatory status. Tszyu's own website, to which I am a member, had a poll after Mitchell 2 and Tszyu asked his fans who they wanted him to fight...Mayweather was first, Gatti second...then Hatton. The fight was not organised before Mitchell 2. Tszyu didn't even have a showtime contract after the Mitchell 2 fight...it was his last contracted fight and he had to sign a new contract for two more fights after that.
Floyd couldn't fight Zoo because of tv contracts. I'm sure he wasn't scared and most likely he would've outpointed him.
Yep if you were to ask Kostya Tszyu personally. I fear he would look you dead straight in the eye and tell you he would always want to fight Floyd Mayweather. He always wanted that fight but the HBO/Showtime thing ****ed things up. Can you see Tszyu backing out of a fight with anyone. To say this is unbelievable he fought many times overseas for title's on foreign soil against anyone who would face him. He always listened to his fans and like Gatorage said when they did the Poll on who should Tszyu fight next after Mitchell 2 the clear winner was PBF. But it was never going to happen. **** HBO but im cool with Showtime because i love the big man Al Bernstien.
its just the problem with the alpahbet belts. there are way too many paths to obtain one. the best DO NOT fight the best anymore, save Margo-Cotto in recent memory.
He never choose Hatton you dick get it right. He wanted PBF at that was that. But PBF had already after November 5th made the decision he was to fight Henry Bruseles to get Gatti. That left Tszyu with 2 choice's one was Cotto which they declined and the other was Hatton. PBF as we know went on to fight Bruseles get your facts right. It was about timing and when it came down to it Tszyu like every other time got left out in the cold. Have you ever seen Tszyu back away from anyone.
:huh...You talk down to a guy because you think he is making up stuff and you come out with this gem. A little evidence for a start. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...zyu-puts-the-brakes-on-over-Hatton-fight.html And there are more of those around, its not to hard to find them these apparently elusive things called facts.
And of couse Team Tszyu wasnt expecting Hatton throw a spanner in the works...He still had another fight left on his new contract and Im sure he would have loved to gone out fighting someone like Mayweather.
LOL the better question is who did Tszyu duck? the list is endless...but he did mangage to find time to fight sharba mitchell 2 times
