Kostya Tszyu is an ATG???

[The Hammer]

Of course Kostya Tszyu was a great fighter!

That's why "Chicken" Floyd Mayweather ducked him.

One of my all time favorites.....

When was this when Hatton was destroying him?? or when Vince Phillips beat him or him struggling with old man Mayweather

I dunno, Vernon Forrest really beat up on Mosley, and Forrest and Tsyzu had similiar styles. Kostya had great timing, and generally did really good against undisciplined speedy guys.
I think he wouldve had a good chance.

Vernon was 6ft with a spear for a jab , a very reachy fighter where Kostya 5-7 with a poor jab and stationary hmmmm , I reckon those differences would make a lot of difference where this trio would be a prime candidate for ABC rule , using Vernon as any kind of yardstick for a KT vs Mosley showdown is a lttle flawed I feel .

Floyd is undefeated and rematched Castillo when people thought he lol......sorry lost. Kostya has 2 losses and he rematched neither man. We forgive him for the Hatton loss, but not the Phillips loss. Same for the guy in your Avy. He rematched a man after his eye operation, and forgot about the other 2 guys he lost too. Sanders and Purrity just incase you forgot lol.

Kostya could box. It is where the fight got inside is where I think shane wins. Kostya when he had a man cornered could fight as we saw in the mitchell fight. When Hatton crowded him and Phillips, he could not fight back effectively.

Guys definately avoided Kostya at 140. This is a fact. If you cannot at least acknowledge that Kostya Tzsyu was one dangerous beast in his prime at 140 then you are beyond hope. I remember listening to Floyd talking about Kostya back in the day and you could tell he had a great deal of respect for him as a fighter.

if you say so. Kostya's biggest asset was his timing, and for the most part Mosley is someone who always flicked jabs and threw overhand rights...Tsyzu figured people like that out pretty quick, and usually was able to take care of them. Forrest gave up his height fairly often, and wasnt as disciplined a boxer as some people remember.
I dont think its impossible at all for Kostya to be ale to time right hands and left hooks to counter Mosleys overhand rights.

on the other hand, Tsyzu would have folded against any decent, efficient pressure fighters. he just ****** against em.

Can we make it official that Judah is the best name in Kostya resume? Or is it Mitchell

lol,,,,,,do you think he'll ever give a white fighter any credit? I think he'd vomit if he ever had to do that
