He was 35 when he got mugged my Hatton. He pissed blood for a few weeks after that fight and was badly hurt in that fight.
He has plenty of money.
I just wished he never took the Hatton fight in the UK.
I have bumped into him a few times and he's always been with his kids. He has been basically fighting since he was a young kid and at 35 he didn't have the hunger for it.
No chance of him coming back.
Did you know him personally? Thanks for the info!
I didn't realize Kostya took THAT much of a beating....wow. My memory ain't what it used to be.Yeah, i wish that fight never happened too...lol.
He was my fav boxer when Ricky blew him out.. i was devasted. And Kostya didn't keep fighting...i wonder why? He was so disciplined and focused. He had a lot going for him.

Not every opponent is glass jawed Judah.Tszyu doesn't actually have that many legitimate knockouts on his resume.
He simply lacked heart and was always in reality a frontrunner.
hey you fukn moron, how many other guys ko'd judah with one punch at 140?
was judah glass jawed with cotto? how bout clottey.
how many times was judah ko'd at his best weight- 140? let me know when you find out you ******
so what?
get out of my thread troll,you are a pathetic hater with limited boxing knowledge
if you cant appreciate a fighter then i feel sorry for you
now,fuck off you fucking idiot
forget that fool. Kostya was my favorite fighter. You can't say he dodged anyone, he fought all comers, was a permanent class act, and ruled his division with an iron fist. We need more fighters like Kostya.
I loved when he pounded the crap outta Sharmba. So many great wins for Kostya- MAG and Zab definitely stick out.

Big fan of KT here. :boxing:
its hard not to be,he was a true champion
I wonder how a prime Kostya Tsyzu would do against the current crop of LWWs.
id favour him over anybody at 140 right now.their arent any guys that could smother/crowd him effectively and their arent any guys on his level in terms of boxing skill either
Great champion. He could've been even greater if he didn't become such a head hunter later in his career. I mean if you see his amateur boxing match with Vernon Forrest - amazing boxing skills in which he dominates Forrest throughout the whole fight.
Big Kostya fan right here.

i think hattons style was hell for an aging KT,especially being in the UK and the fact that it would have taken a sledgehammer to stop ricky that night
