What Made Kostya Tsyzu Great?

[wmute]

I personally think he would beat Floyd Mayweather easily at 140.

Opinions are like balls, everyone has his own, but...

easily?!?!? what makes you think that?

[MaYaN_SuN]

He was decent, stiff right hand that could shatter dreams. But nothin great, he wasnt that fast and his defense wasnt that good. But unlike American fighters, he knew when to quit.

Well put...

Tszyu is way overrated by the Brits trying to make Hatton's win seem more meaningful than it actually was. When you considers Tszyu's injuries, layoff, age, and the location of the fight, it's clear that this wasn't as big of a win as some would lead you to believe...

Tszyu was a class fighter. But then he quit on his stool like a little *****. That is all he'll be remembered for

Tszyu was #3 p4p in the world at the time, dude. He dominated the 140 lb division for a decade. It was a huge win.

Floyd ducked him

Just like Ali is only remembered for being blown out by Holmes, right?

Roberto Duran was a Class fighter, But then he quit like a *****.

Chavez was a Class fighter, But then he quit like a *****.

Sonny Liston was a Class fighter, see where this is going?


Tszyu was a very good champion, some people have him number 1 Jr Welter ever. I dont, I have Chavez No. 1.

But because he quit dosen't make him any less of the fighter he was.

I've been hearing a few calling Tsyzu an all-time great. What exactly did he do that was so great? His best win is over an overrated Zab Judah and a Sharmba Mitchell that isn't that good to begin with. He beat up on an old Julio Cesar Chavez and Jesse James Leija. He had some solid wins, but his career wasn't enough to consider him one of the greats...

Damn, if Sharmba Mitchell wasn't that good to begin with, and Zab Judah was overrated and Baldomir's biggest win was over Zab Judah, then there goes ALL THREE of Floyd's wins at WW. Why is he rated #1 WW in the world again?
