wtf did Kostya Tszyu do to get into the HOF ????

Sweet Pea would of taken that o , off him at LW.

 

Hector was a tough guy with skills. Won an Olympic silver medal.

I gave him my round by round scoring. anarci said he has not watched it in a long time. Basically his main argument was "the commentators had Hector winning" and the "crowd booed the decision". No **** in 1993 in America against a Russian...

BTW the commentators were the worse I have ever heard:

8th round "Hector is taking the round off"
9th round "Any good trainer will tell you if you take a round off make it the next to last"

Laughably biased commentary during the whole fight.

I don't know what the fascination with Phillips is . Tszyu had a single blip in or around his prime. Many ATGs have many losses but they rarely get mentioned.

Kostya was one of the classiest boxers but he is pretty hated or underrated by a lot of people. I wonder why?

 

Would have been a good fight and might have been closer then when they fought.

 

:good:good:good

Two great boxers

 

A lot of Americans and Mexican-Americans on ESB. The Klitschkos are probably treated as unbeatable gods on a Ukrainian boxing forum.

 

Yeah bc nice white people are always hated!

 

True, I think that they will be rated a lot higher in the years to come.

 

Some people esp' boxing fans like the loud mouth dopes like Haye\ Floyd over a humble guys like Kostya, or Lewis , who is black.

 

He was 82-0 when he fought Bruce Pearson who was 10-10... Thats not even to mention the gift decisions he received when he stepped up on the competition and fought people with a pulse.

 

Zoo is arguably the greatest 140 fighter of all time.

 

You cant have 100 pro fights and not have these type of matches

 

The majority of his record is those fights. Just look at it. No excuse for that or the countless other fights he had that were similar.
