    Prime Kostya Tszyu vs Ricky Hatton

    Tszyu was past his prime when Hatton beat him....I think a prime Tszyu would've KO'd Hatton.

    Funny you were one of the posters saying Hatton would beat Mayweather, and his victory over Zoo was better than any of Floyd's past wins.

    Hypocrite.

        I admit I got caught up in the Hatton hype....The British are very good at overhyping their fighters.

          sorry ricky.

          kostya was a great fighter in his younger days you wouldn't have been able to rough him up like you did.

            I think Ricky beats KT at any time , KT was beat in his prime by Phillips and always had trouble with fighters that were smothering him and getting past the right hand , Kostya was a good fighter but over rated , Ricky had the style to beat him not that Hatton is great its just a style thing .

              I think Tsyzu would have won a decision. Kostya always had problems with pressure fighters, but would have probebly been able to outbox Hatton. Much like he did with Ben Tackie, although Hatton would obviously have more success than Tackie.

              I would be surprised if people thought Hatton would win. Tsyzu wasnt shot in the Hatton fight, but lets face it...he wasnt prime. and yet that fight was pretty close, Hatton was only ahead by a round or two at most. and that was the best Hatton Ive ever seen.

              A physically better and more accurate Tsyzu would have had outboxed Hatton, but Hatton would probebly have his moments every once in a while

                  i did not consider Tszyu to be shot

                  it depends on what type of referee u have if u have a ref that is more inclined to break the action then Tszyu is gonna find his range and start popping Hatton with the big right hand he will get the right extension on his punches to land his his power and probably KO Hatton

                  it depends on what the referee will or wont allow TBH

                    That ref for Hatton/Tszyu was horrible, he was a biased Limey ****....He let Hatton hold and wrestle the whole fight...Hatton is like a Mini John Ruiz.
