Tougher Fight: Tszyu @ 140... or Delahoya @ 154?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

You seem to be putting Tszyu up on this pedestal. A pedastal that he would probably have quit on if he was in a tough fight.

I disagree with Kostya Tszyu just gave up, but the fight was relatively close if you go by the judges, last I remembered.

r u ****ing kidding who the **** said de la goya?

[Wiley Hyena]

Here is the threadstarter's exact words in describing his question:

I wanted to get the board's opinion on an often-debated topic.

Wiley Hyena is a big Kostya Tszyu fan. He said this today:

"IMO Hatton's win over Tszyu is a greater accomplishment than any single fight on Floyd's resume."


I will respect that is HIS opinion.

But I wanted to ask the board for their HONEST opinions, and ask you to vote above.

Do you agree with Wiley? Yes or No.

Joepal, I would have to say that with all the incredible responses from the Mayweatherites, that the subject of Kostya Tszyu definitely touches a nerve.

If, 3 weeks ago, they would have just said, yes Tszyu was a great fighter and Floyd made a mistake by not going after him...these issues would have simply died away. NOW they've made these issues well known. They stuck their foot in their own mouths by not just coming clean.

No one, except smart people. Other than that though.......

Which is the greater accomplishment (i.e Which is the tougher fight for a JWW fighter)

36 year old (2005) Kostya Tszyu @ 140 pounds, or

34 year old (2007) Oscar Delahoya @ 154 pounds?

That is the question. Don't change **** up, yo

[joepal]

That's where he got the idea or premise of the question, not what I was lead to believe the question was TRULY based on.

No, I am asking you whether you agree with Wiley's hypothesis. And explain why.

You see, you already knew that Dios question had a faulty premise. Yet you continued to dignify his question without really answering what he was really leading up to.

Your answer?

You didn't answer my first question. Why are you SO OBSESSED with Kostya Tszyu. I can tell you people that Mayweather would lose to. No big deal. You have some kind of emotional attachment with Kostya Tszyu.

I think what Floyd did, I would personally feel meant more to me, in terms of my legacy. It's my opinion. Nothing biased about it.. Ask me who I think, p4p, can beat Mayweather, I'll tell you. I'm not blind. I just have a difference in opinion than you. Get over it.

No. You missed it completely...like so much else. I responded to certain Mayweatherites on this site that were making the incredible claim that Tszyu ran from Floyd at 140. I responded to that to set the record straight. But, when I did that they kept quibbling and crying about it and we've ended up here. This is what happened.
