        Kostya had just had enough of it all by that point, I just don't think he wanted it enough.

        Tszyu used to put himself through absolute hell in training camp - for both the ams and the pros. There is only a certain period of time you can do that to yourself before your mind says enough. I think we say Kostya get to that point against Hatton.

          He mad enough money. Took US dollars back to his country and quadrupled it and now he lives in a mansion in St. Petersburg Russia and doesn't have to work for the rest of his life.

            yeah i think that KOstya just didnt want it anymore. I thought the fight was still close with Hatton winnning by a couple of rounds but too close to quit. He just didnt want it anymore
