Hatton v. Tszyu...the truth

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I guess he was running on empty.

It does seem odd that a fighter with alot left would retire while all these guys are out here fighting multi-million dollar fights in and around his weight class.

Skills, did Kostya Tszyu ever give Vince Phillips a rematch?

It should also be fair to note that that 36 year old fighter with "gas in the tank" has never stepped foot in the ring again.

He retired after that fight.

Understandably so......

You know, Dios, I don't see the logic of running down Tszyu. It only helps your boy to build up Hatton, right? I mean, if you're so sure Floyd is going to win, doesn't it help his cause if Hatton's formidability is admitted. It only makes his win so much more impressive. Am I right?

Hatton is gonna KO pretty boy.

Its gonna be sweet as f**k.

The gobby arsehole will get a beat down he never thought in a million years.

From the FACTS I can say Tszyu DID NOT give Phillips a rematch?

DD, did Phillips WANT a rematch with Tszyu?

I did not "run down Tszyu".

I just stated a fact. That it is odd for a fighter with alot left to retire. Usually, fighters push on one or two (or more) fights past where they should. Guys don't normally retire with gas in the tank. Especially when there are a ton of good opponents and big money fights in their weight class.

Is that a statement that you are disagreeing with?

With regard to the Hatton fight, I have read many posts where Hatton fans "hope that Ricky kicks Floyd's ass". FMJ supporters do not hope, pray or dream that Floyd will win. They EXPECT Floyd to win. Just a difference of perspective.

Explain to me how the loser of a fight "Gives" someone a rematch, smart guy?

Phillips wanted a rematch so badly, he damn near sought an act of Congress to make it happen.

Substitute "gives" for "agrees to".

How's that?

Wrong I disagreed with your assesment that Pavlik would win not berate your boxing knowledge. HOWEVER, what I can criticize you for having a lack of boxing knowledge is saying Kos beating Vernon in the am's meaning he would KO Shane Mosley. Your posts are driven by opinion and not based on fact. My posts AT LEAST can be backed up by facts. Your Coyote like nature allows you to get owned over and over again without realizing you are fighting a losing battle. Guess you just can't catch that road runner.

"Your posts can be backed up with facts." lol You don't offer "facts" at all. You just attack people you don't agree with. I've even seen you pedantically correct their spelling, in order to down grade their opinion. You're pesky, but ultimately inconsequential.

Look at RodBarker. He's a Mayweatherite that actually discusses his opinions and the opinions of others. I respect him, although we disagree. There are more I could name. But, you....you just run around like a site traffic cop, blowing your whistle when you see a disagreeable opinion.

Cidade de Deus,

E Posso.

...but I'm betting against it.
