    kostya tszyu vs hatton

    check the out the strength difference between tszyu and hatton that is gonna be a factor in this fight as hatton is very physical. i quote sombody's words here

    "i,ve just watched 2 tapes 1 of hatton training + 1 of tszyu training on the hatton tape the most he can bench press for 1rep is 160lbs + that is a very good weight for a 10 stone frame + he was very pleased with the amount he pressed however on the tszyu tape tszyu was benching 300LBS + said he was working his way up 2 even more weight which is superhuman for a 10stone 5'7 frame now i am not in any way saying that the fight is won on how can bench the most but it gives you a very good idea of who will win hatton supporters who say hatton is stronger than Tszyu are talking BS once hatton is in the ring with Tszyu he will realise what hes let himself in for the biggest beating of his life"

    That's pretty unbelievable that a guy that light and small can bench press that much. kostya tszyu is a freak of nature.

    I agree its impressive but it doesn`t mean Tsyzu will win, Tsyzu might win but i think the bench press was more for show than anything else...

          You can't read too much into the bench press weights. Benching is not a measure of functional strength. How often in real life do we need to press a load upwards whilst on our backs, unless it's to push a fat ***** off after some loving Some real strong guys have relatively weak bench weights, and vice versa.

            yeah i know i didn't use the bench press as an indicator of who will win this fight, but just want to show how strong of a guy tszyu is for his weight. But still if we are talking about the fight tszyu would win.
            tszyu is the overall better fighter and much more experienced against better opposition. i say tszyu KO 4

              tszyu will win anyway, he's the better fighter, hits harder and has fought a better level of comp, both amateur and pro.

                If I were a betting man, which I'm not, my money would be on Tzyu.
                But as an Englishman, i'd love Hatton to do the business

                    Benching 300lbs is important, because we already know that Kostya has some speed in those hands. Put that power behind that speed. Yikes!

                    I love Hatton for what he brings into the ring: everthing he's got. He'll do that against Kostya too. But, knowing Kostya benches 300lbs doesn't make me feel any better about Ricky's chances. Before this bit of bench news, I thought Ricky needed 3 or 4 more fights before Kostya. Now I'm more convinced of this.
