Kostya was a beast against slick boxers. He catches Floyd and turns out the lights.

You really think Lopez beat him? When I first watched that fight I really thought, towards the end, "Wow, he might lose." Anyway, after watching it a few more times it wasn't even close and the judges had it just about spot on. Every time after that first watching I have scored it reasonably widely for Tszyu. He won most of the early rounds pretty easy and about half or so of the later rounds.You sick of Phillips , why didnt he rematch him ? people that box or spar and are defending a world title are prepared , KT got beat fair and square but the fact that Phillips hounded him for a rematch and KT wanted none of it speaks volumes , you know why same result , and what about Hector Lopez did you see the Lopez fight Hector could have been given the fight and he was finishing all over him ,, to say KT with any Jnr welter in history , this is why I say KT was over rated , he never fought or beat a single prime elite fighter to warrant those ATG raps , a good solid champion but hardly an ATG .
Anyway, Tszyu could've been one of the greatest fighters ever if he had stayed training in Russia as he was easily one of the best am fighters ever. He had everything. Speed, defense, power and combinations but he fell in love with his power and got slow after moving to the pro's. Mayweather I think would beat him but it would be very close and Tszyu would definitely stand a chance as he was always at his best against boxers due to his impeccable timing and smarts.
Very underrated fighter who when he lost once was given up on as ****. When he was dominating for ten years he was seen as a slow power puncher who would get beaten by any good boxer...but of course wasn't, then was once again put down as **** and overrated when he lost at 36 too the only Hatton that's ever looked good. One of those fighters that will always be looked over. Not brash and homie enough.Comment

this would have been an exciting match up.
kt likes to fight on the outside, so does Floyd.
I would say floyd wins this by decision just because he is on an elite level with his defence.
im thinking of whether kt's right hand would connect, I think floyd would be able to dodge though.Comment

To be honest Benny I would give him the win over Hector some of my buddys that were with me at time would not and they are pretty keen judges on a fight one was commonwealth champ at the time , but we all have opinionsYou really think Lopez beat him?

, what that fight showed me mate was KT was very beatable and it also showed the blueprint in how Phillips was to beat him later on .
Dont get me wrong I believe KT was a very good fighter and champion , I just dont go along with ATG status , he had to many black marks against that line of thought and nothing outstanding to over ride them .
Specifically who you talking about , Sharmba and a very green Judah , mate they are a very long way short of Mayweather ,,, look mate Koysta was beaten Floyd is yet to be and Floyd has fought a much higher quality of fighter across the board than KT and to cap it of Floyd outclasses and KOs the guy that made Kostya quit . I really think Floyd wins easy .Motofan --Kostya was a beast against slick boxers. He catches Floyd and turns out the lights.
Ive been a lover of boxing for over 40 yrs , bias went out the door a very long time ago . dont matter to me where they come from I try and go with the real McCoy regardless of where they come from or what color they are , I think the older you get the more real you get and the more it takes to impress you .boxing_great--its surprising that your not being biased here considering your from aus.Comment

Corrales at 130 was far more dangerous than Zoo...you saw what happened to him..
Zoo is not a bigger guy like Oscar or Baldomir..there would be no reason to dance around behind a jab..Comment
