Whenever anyone asks me who my favourite boxer is I invariably say Kostya Tszyu. Bloke was just such a class act. One of the nicest, most professional fighters in modern memory. And what a fighter he was! Watching his fights was like watching a masterclass in classical boxing technique, nothing flashy, no wasted movment, just solid punches delievered fluidly and powerfully from a rock solid stance. His right hand ranks among the very best power punches ever thrown. Laser-like accuracy, blinding speed and killer power. He was one of the few fighters who knew how to make every punch in a combination attack count, none of this swarming nonsense. In his prime he had very few weaknesses. A difficulty fighting on the backfoot, perhaps, and although the loss to Philips will always haunt him legacy wise, when I analyse Tszyu I see one of the most well-rounded fighters on film.

Yeah his ability to make those punches count in those combo's comes down to his ability too keep his head and his cool when most fighters just get excited and start swarming.

It seems putting that video on and bumping up this thread from the basement was a good plan (George Peppard was fond of a good plan).
