    There's worse insults I could use. It's more his fans that grate my nerves than Ricky himself. And nobody said anything about KT having a warm heart. You know what my favorite part of the Chavez fight is? It's in the 6th round, and Chavez is getting so frustrated by the beating he's taken he decides to wing a few at Tszyu's balls. Promptly after the point deduction he gets knocked on his face. It was hilarious. :lol: Not only that, but Kostya fought Chavez in Arizona, in front of a hugely pro-Chavez crowd...it's not like he fought him in Sydney.

    KO by - You don't get to put them on your resume unless you win.

    Did you think that perhaps boxers that come from countries where you cannot turn pro should have their amateur accomplishments considered?

    Especially with such an A grade AM career at an Euro and World level.

    Can't remember off the top of my head, but the beautiful thing of it is it's the late 80s and 90s in both SoCal and the US in general, and in the amateurs you can't duck anybody, so whoever was at top then he fought. I know he fought Ivan Robinson, for example.

    amateurs and pros are almost 2 different sports thats why i dont count it, sure being champion in the amateurs is great thing to do, more than anything i can probably do but its awhole new ball game in the pros, fights are won by rounds not by punch landed also there have been quiet a few good amateurs who sucked at pro (audley).

    I don't count it as a great win, I count it as hilarious.

    When Tszyu was fighting the amateurs much more closely resembled pro boxing.
