Better win? Roy Jones Jr. or Kostya Tszyu?

[WhoreUs]

Which was a better win?

Ricky Hatton's win over Kostya Tszyu or Joe Calzaghe's win over Roy Jones Jr.?

Kostya Tszyu was 35 yrs. old and was 31-1 and hadn't lost in over 8 years. His previous fight before fighting Hatton was a TKO3 win a few months earlier over Sharmba Mitchell (who was still regarded Top 3-4 at 140 at the time). All worries about Kostya being past prime went out the window after back to back TKO wins over Jesse James Leija and Sharmba Mitchell.

Roy Jones is almost 40 yrs. old and has had 56 fights going into fighting Calzaghe. His only notable win the last 3-4 years was his decision win of Felix Trinidad. Talk of Roy Jones decline started 4-5 years ago when he suffered back to back KO losses to Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson.

kostya, and it's not even close.

i know.

if you look at those 2 fights you can tell who still had it.

kostya was still competitive in his loss. after the 1st round , you actually felt bad for roy......

i just got pissed off when know-nothing calzaghe fans start talking crap about ricky's win and resume as if it was **** compared to joe's wins and resume.

Tszyu, obviously. But then where is Hatton's Hopkins, Kessler, etc?

[sparked_85]

Tszyu is a truly great win.

Great.

Hatton has no right to beat a guy like Kostya Tszyu whatever the weather.

[Flawless 2]

Kostya was past his prime but Roy was shot

Tszyu, obviously. But then where is Hatton's Hopkins, Kessler, etc?

It's probably best to compare Ricky's Tszyu win with Joe's Hopkins win and compare Ricky's Castillo win with Joe's Jones win.

I just made this poll because a Calzaghe fan claimed Joe's win over Roy was a better win that Ricky's win over Kostya.
