Have you ever heard an interview where he doesn't mention that fight, did that fight potentially ruin his career as he always use to back track to it and it made him think he could steam roll through everybody after that, surprised he never actually got t shirts printed saying I beat kosta tsyzu on the front, still till this day he can't go without mentioning that fight every 5 seconds
Yes but lots of boxers have had great wins, you never hear them referring back to them in every single interview, it's was like he never let that high go and that's what drove him into drink and drugs as he couldn't get there again.
I think he knows how lucky he was to catch tsyzu at the end of his career. he just did not want to take the pain anymore
I sometimes wonder has anyone on here truly done anything great in life? Have you never triumphed in something people said you could not do or you thought was not obtainable? It feels better then any nutt you have ever gotten in life.To trash a man for bashing in his achievements is kinda sad man and makes you look bitter.
lol, how many threads you made bashing GGG last Saturday?
He's basically a one hit wonder. He never had another big moment so he talks about it to death like he's Al Bundy. Very accomplished people don't talk about one event in their life to death. It's only the people who never did anything after that, that do that.
It's by far his best win but having shirts made does seem obsessive. I remember the referee letting Hatton deliberately hit Tsyzu in the balls with a huge impossible to miss uppercut and not even issue a warning. Tsyzu made a big mistake fighting Hatton in England. He was like a God there with his own personal referee. There is no doubt in my mind that Tsyzu was a much better fighter prime for prime than Hatton. Hatton fought him at the right time in the right country.
There are great wins and then there are wins like that. Beating someone who is better than you. He did this by using skill yes, but fitness, will, heart and desire. Will, heart, and desire made him paint a target on Tszyu's back and then work dilliegently in putting himself in position to dethrone him.
I don't think it drove him to drugs and drinks at all. If anything that Tszyu camp and fight is probably the gold standard metaphor of Hatton's life for overcoming adversity. No wonder he always talks about it, ffs. It must be something else to draw inspiration from your own achievements.
