I've seen a lil bit of kosta he was a good boxer great power and insane timing. But I've only seen the judah hatton and Mitchell fight and I don't think any other these fighters are on Tim's level.
Do you think Tim could out work him and beat him in a hard fought descion or would kosta just box him for a while break him down and ko him what's your thoughts?
he couldnt even beat hatton... hatton vs bradley would be fun to watch. ahahaha
That Hatton wasn't the weak chinned fighter Pacquiao fought. Hatton that beat Tyszyu would have given Pacquiao one hell of a fight.
Why do people say Tszyu was shot vs Hatton? Kostya was hitting Hatton with everything but the kitchen sink, those punches would have floored any other fighter at 140.
He waited for Kostya to get older unlike Zab Judah and Sharmba Mitchell.

but in kostya's defense he was old and past it against hatton. that's not even debatable.
as far as verno fight..... people say kostya at the time wasn't the most dedicated in training and nutrition.
the way he looked and performed coming back from that loss..... maybe it is true.
i remember him talking about that loss on Australian TV. He said he was sick afterwards for about two weeks, and it made him realise the level of dedication required in training. That's why he came back so hard and so well after that loss. Actually training the house down for each fight, combining with his ring intelligence and natural strength and power made him a better fighter.
I think its a split decision either way. I think Tszyu is the better fighter but Bradley's style is the type that would give Tszyu hell. He could definitely do what a Phillips & Hatton did to Tszyu
Tszyu prime years came after Harris. The dedication came as a result of that loss. Coming into the Hatton fight KT was old and had been layed off before a few comeback fights for a couple of years with injuries. He struggled to make the weight, eyes sunken and pale, and still put up a good fight against a guy who basically wrestled him to death.
KT would KO Bradley or win a UD at 140.
kostya is very good at judging speed and distance.
ever seen his bout with a vernon forrest? very impressive.
yeah forrest was young but still impressive considering vernon's talent and half foot height advantage.
In the amateurs.Sorry, I did not know that. Who won and how?

he was past it but still a good version. He just killed Mitchell who was pretty good at that time. Its not just about Hatton beating him, it was the style. Kinda like how Phillips beat him. Thats the way you have to fight Tszyu, prime or not. Bradley could do that
A prime Tsyzu without any injuries would KO Bradley, The older version that Hatton wrestle/maul to death with his own referee/uncle would lose to bradley.
