    He wasn't that bad, he was still decent in 2005 he would of given Hatton a good fight at that time. Floyd was only a 1/4 favourite going into that fight and alot of people thought Gatti would win. :lol:

    Really, 1/4?

    I'd have had the mortgage on that.

    I would still give Tszyu the edge, the wins over Mitchel at the time were big wins. Like yourself I'm not a big fan of Judah but it has to be said the win against Zab and the manner of the victory is impressive. I would say that it eclipses any win on Ricky's resume.

    The win against Tszyu was great but he was well past his best, I think I'm right in saying he was coming off a near 2 year lay off. Is it comparable to Kostya's win against Chavez? Probably not but it was not a prime Tszyu he beat.

    Tszyu beat an ancient LaPorte, a much smaller Calvin Grove but he also has wins against people like Ruelas, Leija, Gonzalez and Tackie. But the stoppage loss to Phillips goes badly against him. Although you then have to give him massive credit for the way he came back from that and unified the division.

    Chavez had jumped the shark in the 90s, as a 140lber. He was still brilliant for a few years, but was not the J C Superstar who destroyed Mayweather and Rosario.

    Maybe not, it's true to say he was on the slide a tad from 94 after the Randall fights but he still maintained a high profile, other than that it's proberbly KZ.

    Chavez of the early 90's (Taylor/Haugen/Camacho) is still the best light welter of the last 20 years IMO.
