    Tszyu actually had better hand speed back in the day. As he aged, he slowed but he still has speed. But just think, his power might have even declined a bit because when you lose some speed you can lose spower.
    And of course, his punch-out-put seemed to lesson with time as well. One thing about Tszyu though is that he needs to be the underdog or he tends to get a bit over-confident and doesn't focus as well as when he is the underdog.
    Inactivity (and of course injuries) is another thing that hurt him in his career. Like Roach said: A busy fighter is a good fighter. I still say he should have had a better trainer.

      Tszyu was way past his prime. They were talking about him being past his prime for years. Even when he fought Judah, which Judah even said himself: He is not the same Kostya Tszyu. Of course with Tszyu he could continue to win because he had power, timing, and was still good, but inactivity kills. Plus, he always did well when he was the underdog...more focused I would say.

      By the time Hatton got to him, Tszyu was close to 36 years old and had only fought 9 rounds in 3 years and had to fight early in the morning. At his Grandpa age, that isn't good. And then you had the younger fighter wrestling the inactive fighter to death.

        If pac never gets near his right hand, he wins. If tszyu drops that hammer on him, thats bad...real bad.

            spoken like a true moron who has no idea how that fight went down.

            you would have to have not been around boxing the last 4 years to not know how hatton fought that guy.

                  You know your reaching when your using the judah fight as a gauge, as well as kostya being 36 and hatton man hugging him to death. phillips is your only legit claim.

                    Kostya had the power but he was very limited. cmon guys. Pac takes this one easier then the hatton one, although it would certainly last longer

                      Pac vs Tszyu would be an all time classic. Kostya is one of the all time bests and was ducked by many champions when he was a challenger and many challengers even ducked him as a champ.. rightfully so. He had some uncanny reflexes and timing. It would be tough for any fighter at any time to face a primeTszyu at Jr WW.
