The Greatness of Kostya Tszyu

[Flawless]

If Oscar could beat Tito a much taller and powerful hitter than Kostya, he would easily beat Kostya

[The Hammer]

It only took two rounds for Tszyu to stop Judah.

Mayweather couldn't do it in twelve...

Kostya was fighting at his natural weight, where as Mayweaher start at 130 and was fighting at 147. Has Kostya ever moved up weight and won a title??

Floyd has always fought at his natural weight, except when he weight-drained to make 130 (to avoid Mosley at 135 and Tszyu at 140!).

Some men fill out in their 20s. Someone who is 130 at age 20 will often be 145 or so at age 30.

Hatton wanted to fight Floyd at 140, but Mayweather refused to go below his current natural fighting weight of 147!

Mayweather always had a reach advantage over his opponents. His arms are 6" longer than Hatton's. Tszyu was about the same size as Hatton.

Mayweather's reach is longer than many heavyweights, such as David Tua who has a reach of 70". Floyd is a taller, longer, and naturally bigger man than Tszyu, but Kostya was a better fighter.

[Flawless]

Kostya the better fighter he can't even handle Phillips or 12 rounds with a old Mayweather. You think at 140 Hatton has a chance against Mayweather.

[The Hammer]

Why wouldn't Mayweather fight Hatton at 140, Flawless?

Why wouldn't Mayweather fight Hatton at 140, Flawless?

He is the champion and had is the challenger he should come and face him. Challenger chase Champion not the other way around. Also Hatton called out Mayweather and got TKO and exposed like a *****

[Dan...]

Why wouldn't Mayweather fight Hatton at 140, Flawless?

It would not have made a difference. Hatton isn't in Floyd's class, it was blatantly obvious.

But my point is, 140 is below Floyd's natural fighting weight at age 30, that's why he wouldn't do it.

When I was 16, my natural weight was about 155. Now at age 22, it's about 170-175.

People's bones and muscles continue to grow and get heavier - with some people continuing to fill out into their late 20s.
