    Hamed was better...Tszyu is arguably greater.

    Have you actually watched the fight? Those are amongst the most ridiculous scorecards by judges ever. The sad truth is that if Hamed had put up even a little bit of a fight he would have gotten the gift win. He was the star and Barrera was seen as his next victim. In the end he was shutout for 12 rounds and looked like a rag doll with his arms flailing all over the place. There was one round where they only stared at each other and I'm going to give that one to Hamed because even if he didn't do anything he at least moved forward. That's it. It should have been 118-109. And if it wasn't for that WWE move by Barrera it would have been a 119-108. Hamed was a flashy boxer who looked better than he was.

    Let me guess, mariancobretti, people only rate Tszyu because he is so good looking, right?

    Just like your rants about Kessler, and how it is only because of his stunning good looks that people rate him highly as a fighter? I never read such ***gotry before, ever.

    Don't be shy, we all know you are gay. Come out and admit it. You are attracted to Kostya and that's why you are posting. You have the same sexual frustration with him as you do with Kessler; which is why you need to put them down.

    Tszyu made mince meat of flashy boxers like Hamed. Granted, nobody near as quick as him - maybe Zab who was rated as one of the fastest at the time.

    Tszyu had a long, prosperous career, the top guys weren't exactly jumping at the bit to fight him - too much risk reward. And when he lost, he came back a better, smarter fighter.

    He took on all comers, in their own backyards against all odds over and over again, finally losing out to Hatton in a dirty (on both parts) slug fest that was just too much for the 36 year old. It's a damn shame too - if it weren't so rough, Tszyu might have fought again...

    Anyway. Tszyu with out question.

    Hamed showed what he was truly made of when he lost and found out he WASN'T invincible. Tszyu went out and BECAME almost invincible when he lost. There's your answer right there man.

    No DOubt Tszyu was an exception fighter.

    Btu Hamed was blistering during his 5 year Reign.

    Tszyu. Arguably the greatest fighter ever at 140 pounds.
