Zab Judah... KO 2nd round. He unified the division in that fight, and left the ring with the WBC/WBA/IBF belts.

Has to be Zab....his TKO of JCC when he was pretty much washed up can't be....his UD of then undefeated Urkal was his next biggest probably since I don't find mitchell as good as his record may indicate.

I thought that the 2nd Mitchell fight flattered Kostya Tszyu.

I thought that Shamba Mitchell had been showing signs of a fighter on the decline ever since he was lucky with that gift decsion against Lovemore Ndou in Alantic City.

Sharmba came over to the UK and fought on the undercard of a Ricky Hatton fight against Stewert, and he just didn't look that good at all.

Also many fans on the forums was picking Mitchell to win. Manny Steward was favoring Mitchell against Mayweather at that time. Many people was really high on Mitchell for that fight.

I dunno why?... In my eyes Mitchell hadn't looked very impressive in his fights leading up to it. Like I said, I thought he was very lucky to get the nod from the judges against Ndou, and he dragged out a points win against Michael "limited" Stewert at the M.E.N.

I think he was more there for the taking.

But as a Hatton fan I was aware that the Tszyu vs Mitchell II fight had flattered Tszyu... And that Hatton had a very very good chance of beating Kostya Tszyu because I wasn't confident that the real Tszyu had come back yet.

And that Hatton had a very very good chance of beating Kostya Tszyu because I wasn't confident that the real Tszyu had come back yet.After beating Ben Tackie & becoming the first man to put Tackie down, Mitchell thought that he can brawl with anyone, that was biggest mistake in his last 3 or 4 fights, Tszyu proved it. I thought the Ndou fight was very close, but I still think Mitchell won it.

The reason I picked the Mitchell fight, because this was a fight many top people from the press was picking Mitchell to win.

Mitchell 2.

Tszyu didn't really win against Judah. It was an early stoppage. Had the ref let it go on and Tszyu actually got a legitimate win over Judah, then it would've definitely been his biggest win.

Yeah I remember people picking Mitchell at the time, and I thought :eek: huh!?!

I think the problem and reason people were picking Mitchell to win that fight was because no one knew what kind of a Kostya Tszyu was going to turn up.

He hadn't fought in 2yrs and he was 34yrs old... No one was confident that the Tszyu of 3-4yrs ago would turn up.

He certainly did though! ;)

Everyone was picking Mitchell because Mitchell was beating Tszyu on one good leg in 2001. All Tszyu could do was throw Mitchell around. And Mitchell was almost as determined for a rematch with Tszyu as Judah was. He stayed very active and won most of his matches impressively, minus the N'Dou fight I guess.

Then, it was like Mitchell froze up or some **** in the Tszyu match. Tszyu definitely fairly knocked him out, as much as I hate it. Mitchell has no excuse, he simply got knocked out.
