who ducked kostya tszyu?

What does that prove???? Warren is saying that they had an agreement to fight, KT is saying they didnt...DID THEY FIGHT??? Yes they did..So in that case I believe Warren...here is the thing, the fight was agreed on before the fight with Mitchell, as you can somewhat conclude from that article That article was dated dec 14 2004, KT fought Mitchell nov 11, 2004...They agreed on a fight and that article kinda proves what Im saying and not what your saying....:good

 

I dont care where you live, it doesnt make what your saying any more true...Fact is it was reported in RING magazine when Shane when from 135 to 140 it was because none of the belt holders at 140 would fight him, that includes KT....Judah's camps said that a fight with Judah and Shane would be big, bug if they waited it would be huge, Judahs dad stated that Zab wasnt ready for that fight....Mitchell said that he wouldnt fight Shane until he proved himself at 140...KT said that he respectful declines and that a fight with Shane wasnt in his plans...Now that came right out of the pages of RING magazine and not from Shane Mosley's fan club:good

 

no but he lost to most of the top fighters in their prime.

 

Agree

 

Why would you return a call that ended in 2 rounds. **** Jan Bergman lasted longer than Zab **** face.

Orion get of this site leach.

 

You can really twist things in your head cant you.

Kostya's manager, Matthew Watt, had the feelers out on a lot of fights thats his job. So when Kostya beat Mitchell, which was no guarantee at the time, he could pick up negotiations straight away. Also Kostya was coming off two serious injuries, there was no guarantee he would come out of the Mitchell fight unscathed.
Warren also had Harris and Pinto pull out of title fights inside that year, so the logistics and backing for staging a title fight were all ready in place. It wasnt as though he had to go through long negotiations, he could put out a deal and if it got accepted, it was showtime.
How does that article prove what you are saying when it was nearly a month between the Mitchell fight and the article, which clearly states that the fight had not been signed yet..Warren was notorious for jumping the gun and so many fights that he had been involved in have fallen through even though he said they were ready to go. The fight wasnt official till January 10th..they still had to work out starting times because of the Network.

The evidence that suggests that Team Tszyu pursued a fight with Mayweather and Gatti straight after the Mitchell fight is overwhelming..its just other factors prevented it from happening.

The Hatton fight didnt need to happen till August...He was the second or even third choice, its just the negotiations went smoothly and it was announced not long after.

To say there was an ironclad deal before Kostya had even beaten Mitchell is bollocks and there is no evidence to suggest it..Just your hearsay and warping of the facts. You are just coming to that conclusion because the fight was announced not long after the Mitchell fight.

 

Exactly, thats why he lost to every top fighter he faced. He was not afraid to mix it up.

 

He should had ducked that one right hand that dumped him in his ass twice:bbb

 

More stupidy from the arm chair boxing experts.

Orion are you Max Kellerman.

You have no idea on Tszyu's career you think you do but know nothing.

 

Yep because Hugo Pindea and Hurtado were real small Featherweights.

He never choose that fight.

Show me clear cut eveidence of Kostya saying that he wanted Hatton fight more than PBF.

Ill be posting here until you come up with clear eveidence.

 

it's because of ignorant clowns like you that good fights don't get made. Any fighter could lose to Vince Phillips on any given night.

 

Kostya didn't want to fight him the FIRST time because of Zab's mouth, and only gave him the fight after he thought Zab earned it in the ring, then he beat the **** out of him and went on his way.

*****.

 

good post
