Why did these so called 'great' fighters duck Kostya Tszyu???

Floyd also turned down a fight with Mosley later on in their careers. Fighting Oscar for more money is hardly ducking floyd

 

lol@ the comment " so called great fighters."

 

Wait when did Mayweather turn Mosley down, between the Marquez and Mosley fights atsch Listen to his post fight interviews Mayweather was calling Mosley and Delahoya out for years

I know right, with 'great' in inverted commas

 

Mayweather's camp tried pushing for a Kostya Tszyu fight back in 2005 but Tszyu's camp was more interested in Hatton than they were in Floyd at that time. I suppose financial reasons were the single biggest factor.

Throw in the HBO/Showtime tangle that would ensue and the and the actual necessity of the fight it seemed premature.

Had Tszyu beaten Hatton then a Mayweather fight would have been on the books for late 2006. KT losing made the prospects of this fight less likely.

 

Floyd Mayweather wanted 2 fight a 37 years old Tszyu , what a shock !!
I guess they found him a safer opponent than Chris John was @ d time .

 

Floyd: 'I'll wait until Tyszu is as old as Roger when he fought him to teach him a lesson' and 'Tyszu is a 1 handed fighter'. Yea that was the plan for 2005. And Tyszu would have been 35-36 FF

 

I think there's an overrating of Tsyzu going on here.

 

D difference between Floyd & Tszyu is that Tszyu systematically fought good fighters in their prime and a few past prime fighters (not including d beginning of his career which was superbly respectable in its quality compared 2 others) while Floyd never fought a prime good fighter his own size .

And b4 u reply with your consistent **** I will not forget this :
Castillo is overrated primarily due 2 d **** he fed Floyd , besides against Floyd he wasn't all that . Their 2 encounters r more telling about Floyd than about Castillo and I read Floyd came in injured in 1 of them but who knows d problems Castillo had coming in even in that fight .
Corrales was garbage .
Ortiz not really good and even if he is close 2 it then their fight was a farce that doesn't show anything except of how corrupt this sport is usually .
I think that it was prearranged , even if not 2 d exact details .
Like in d UWFi when they only decided d winner in front , but not d manner .
