Was Kostya in his prime when he lost to Vince Phillips? Beating an Old JCC. Is Mitchell his best win now?? Or that lucky shot against Judah now is enough for ATG status. How about him beating retired by Hatton

people underrate kostya's skills because when he was a pro he was a slugger.

check out a young kostya's skills and speed in the amateurs against vernon forrest.

why do you always have to flame?

you're turning into such a troll.

why don't you worry about your favorite fighter's accomplishments instead of trying to talk garbage about other great fighters?

first tito? now kostya? who's next? you gonna ask if chavez was a great fighter?

I understand you point, but the man ran through the 140 lbs. division no matter at what point in there career they may have been. A lucky shot that was not, he landed a clean straight right hand, and if you watch it, he was setting up Zab for it as just secs earlier he missed with a big 1 2 I believe.

Also, Vince Phillips was a big boy at the time for the LWW division. He was a tall rangy fighter with an absolute incredible right hand. I don't see too many people being able to take a straight right hand from Vince Phillips in the 140 lbs division and being able to stand there and take it.

For the 140 pound division he is up there, so he is kind of an ATG. Over time though I feel he will kind of fall off in the 140 all time ranking but he did do a lot at 140 when most of fighters just pass through the division.

Kostya Tszyu is an ATG???
