How will Hatton do it?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Was Tszyu "prime"?

Will anyone be answering this question?

Will anyone be answering this question?

Sure.

Some say he was, some say he wasn't. All we know is he was inactive and had injuries, but showed ZERO signs of slowing down previous.

Tszyu is HOF. He's one of the greatest jr. welters of all time. Prime? I don't know about "prime." You have to point to a fight to make an opinion of that. You simply look at the Hatton fight and deduce Tszyu was washed up because Hatton won. Look at the bias there. Did you see the fight? Hatton was a relentless beast.

Don't write off the win over Tszyu so easily. It distorts your perception.

Here is my question:

If you denigrate the Mayweather win over 34 yr DLH @ 154, how can you laud the Hatton win over 36 yr old KT @ 140?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Sure.

Some say he was, some say he wasn't. All we know is he was inactive and had injuries, but showed ZERO signs of slowing down previous.

So, Kostya Tszyu was the only lightweight in history to not be slowing down by age 36.

That's fantastic.

That was not an answer. We were talking about Hatton's win over Tszyu.

You simply look at age. You didn't watch the fight, did you?

Several times.

Age, activity, durabilty. Which of these indicators point towards Tszyu being prime?

He was never a particularly fast fighter. He was never swift of foot or elusive. So, an aging, orthodox-style fighter got mauled. And hasn't fought since.

But still, you won't address how he looked. Did Tszyu look washed up to you? An honest answer please.

p.s. he had very fast hand speed, if that counts as being a "fast boxer."

This is coming from somebody who has never particularly been a KT fan : he looked ordinary. He did not appear strong or crisp. He caught hatton coming in on a few occasions, but wasn't sharp. He should have timed RH much more.

Castillo looked MORE shot (stumbling, etc) than KT, though.
