who has the greater legacy? Tszyu or Hatton?

Tszyu was better in his prime but no doubt Hatton will be ranked higher. Mainly for the hype and obviously because he beat him, prime or not, history is often remembered without circumstance.

 

I'm sure I've noticed you making excellent posts in the MMA Forum (at least I think it was you), but to be honest I'm blown away by what an absolutely

comparison that is!!!! I genuinely think this may be

post I've ever seen from a non-moron poster!!!!!

You would compare Kostya Tszyu in 2005 to...


...Muhammad Ali in 1981... :nut...

...Mike Tyson in 2004... nut.......

or (most crazily of the three crazy crazy comparisons)...

....ROBERTO DURAN in 1998!!!.... nutdead


I would think this post was a joke if your tone was not so serious

I will try to convey why I think this is so...


Muhammad Ali in 1981 vs Trevor Berbick

- Had lost to

in his previous fight by Larry Holmes.

- Ali first came to world title prominence in 1964 (

) and his peak performances were in 1966-67 (

).

Thus, it's clear that Muhammad was LIGHT YEARS from his prime. He was NOWHERE in the pound-for-pound rankings at the time of the Berbick fight because he lost to a guy like Spinks (who wouldn't have laid a glove on the 60s Ali or won a round vs the early-mid 70s Ali) then got stopped by Holmes (who was not a puncher like guys who failed to stop Ali like Foreman, Shavers and Liston).



Mike Tyson in 2004 vs Danny Williams

- Hadn't beaten a top 10 heavyweight since 1996 (

).

- Hadn't lasted the distance in his last 3 fights against top comp (Holyfield x2 and Lewis), failed to win a round against his last top opponent (Lewis)

- Tyson first came to world title prominence in 1986 (

) and his peak performances were in 1987-88 (

)

Thus, it's clear that Tyson was LIGHT YEARS from his prime. He was NOWHERE in the pound-for-pound rankings at the time of the Williams fight. After being knocked out by Williams (a fighter who wouldn't have lasted a round with him in his prime), he was stopped by Kevin McBride (a fighter who wouldn't have lasted a minute with him in his prime).



Roberto ****ing Duran in 1998 vs William Joppy lol

- In the 90s he had already lost

- Duran first came to world title prominence in 1972 (

Thus, it's clear that Duran was MILLIONS UPON BILLIONS of LIGHT YEARS away from his prime. He was NOWHERE in the pound-for-pound rankings, and NOWHERE in the middleweight or supermiddleweight rankings either.

Im not reading ANY of that no way I thought i made a simply point that was tongue in cheek. You then write a freaking essay! :nono

 

As I said in the post, I was aware of a possibility of sarcasm, but your tone seemed so serious!

Still, a bizarre and crazy post from you!

 

Collazo is a good fighter,and he held an alphabet belt,but when the decision went Hatton's way,there were at least 4 or 5 better welters than Luis.Besides,if you saw the fight,you would have seen that Luis should have gotten the nod.The funny part is at the end,Hatton was absolutely REELING against light punching welter Collazo.

 

Tzyue was a bad bad man. Hatton may have beaten the older version of him but Tzyue will still be considered to only be behind JCC and Pryor at 140.
