      I remember first reading about Tszyu and how much praise he had coming to him before he was even great. I forget which magazine it was, Ring or KO, but one of them had an article about him and how in the future, he would beat JCC. I didn't think it was possible at the time, but sure enough, Kostya Tszyu would go on to beat Chavez down the line.

      He definitely lived up to his potential.

        WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY down the line.

        I say a prime JCC beats Tszyu. Knocks him out, in fact.

          Mayweather's best wins are better than Tszyu's best wins.

          Tszyu's losses are worse than,..oh, never mind.

          If Tszyu is "great", what is Oscar? what is Floyd? What is Shane?

            you don't think oscar , floyd and shane are great fighters?

            you don't think kostya would be competitive with those guys?

                  They all beat him , Shane and Oscar stop him they have to much skill with strength , they could handle 154 and even lower end 160s KT could not fight outside his weight for reasons , when he tried and fought a true welter in VP , well we seen what happened .

                    well it's not his fault his not tall enough or strong enough to be a welter.

                    look at who floyd beat at welter. sharmba. zab. baldomir.

                    if those were the welter champions in kostya's prime he could've won some belts at 147.

                      12 rounds with old Mayweather he would not last with a prime Mayweather at 147
