Tszyu Was Rated #3 p4p When Hatton Defeated Him

[El Jesus]

OMG, PBF said KOstya was a great fighter. Yet Hatton dont get credit for beating Kostya.....who PBF considered a great fighter. PBF should be desperate to box Hatton. Hatton is the man who beat Kostya. PBF should want to be the man who beat the man.
Even if Hatton turns PBF down again. PBF should be after Hatton like a fly is to a cows dung in my humble opinion.

PBF being the more established fighter shouldnt have to chase anyone down like that, Hatton should have wanted the fight the moment he felt he was ready for it during the timeframe it was being offered and they didint want it.

Find me a link to Mayweather calling him out and the thread will magically appear...

This article contains mayweather's exact words, there is more on the net, ill let you know if i can find more tommorow, there are some interesting things on cotto here also.

I think the article says he calls out cotto, DLH and Tsysu.

I think there is enough ammo for you in this link tho.

Dont encourage him.

Do we really need a 'Why did Kostya turn down Mayweather?' poll?

They didnt fight, they are never going to fight, there's nothing more to do with it that needs to be said.

But i think if PBF really wanted Hatton in the first place, he wouldnt have given up on Hatton so easily. He wouldnt have given up trying to get DLH if DLH turned him down once, so why give up on Hatton? PBF wanted Kostya real bad and it seems would have done anything to get him. But there is no urgency for Hatton for some reason?
Both unbeaten.

This is what im talking about, thats why i brought it up because its a fact that alot of people continue to ignore, that Tszyu never had ANY intention of fighting mayweather, ever.

He didint give a **** because the first time he wanted to fight him, if he refused he could go after judah, the second time he then went after mosley, and when mosley turned it down he just went for the ring championship. There were other options available and with Hattons team flat out lying saying they were going to defend against their mandatory, what do you want them to do?

The thing is when your established like that you dont need to be like junior witter and beg someone for a fight all the time. Like DLH, he gave into all of DLH's terms to take a fight with him because DLH was the established fighter/personality, one thing about PBF's team is that they know when to give in.

Nobody cares though.

The only people who care are the people who love Floyd and cannot see any possible faults and see his excuses for not facing people as 'facts'.

The average person doesnt care. The people who hate Floyd dont even care, cos they'll just overlook it and claim that its more complicated than you make out.

I can't say Tszyu really ducked him, though. It was a contractual thing. Hatton flat out ducked him, though, and he should be ashamed of himself for continuing to call out a fighter he has turned down on multiple occasions...

Ive already agreed with Sin that making the fight would have been complicated, but the fact is, i find it odd that at the time that the most established fighter in the 140 lb division wouldnt even mention the hottest fighter between 135/140 at that time. Tszyu made no noise about it, no mention, nothing. It means something because had that been the case, we may have seen Mayweather Tszyu instead of Hatton Tszyu, it was Tszyu's willingness to face Hatton that made the fight happen in the first place, which should be considered a godsend considering it was in rickys backyard. Oh, and also because like sin said, his contract with Showtime probably had alot of incentive to do it.

I agree with that, I have never said Tszyu ducked mayweather, but i have never understood why he never mentioned him, ever. The funny thing is that whenever Tszyu was brought up in old boxintalk mayweather chats, Mayweather NEVER dissed Tszyu, ever. Its one of the few times ive ever seen that. Probably the last time ill ever see it.
