    Kostya Tszyu

    SHOT - vs Ricky Hatton 2005 (never could force the pace and power that he showed during the turn of the century)

    PAST PRIME - actully again it would have to be hatton not any of his performances were actully bad before this fight

    STILL AT A GOOD LEVEL - James Jeigh Leija 2003 (Kostya had started taking long gaps within boxing but this performance still shown he had something left for himslef)

    PEAK - Julio Cesar Chavez 2000 ( exceptional performance)

    GREEN - Disobleys Hurtado 1998 (KT was down twice in the first round , took courage and skill to come back and win in style that KT did)

    Hamed in his peak when he fought Barrera?!?!?!? Maybe physically but not in terms of mental soundness. He was barely training!!!

    I think you may be mixing up losing a fight with being shot. They are not necessarily the same thing.
