      It suddenly struck me that Tszyu is 29 already. He only has 5-6 more years at the top, and he just got there. A pity...

      Lubin at least had a chance, Thurman has none. A definition of a fight no-one wanted and no-one asked for...

        I keep saying, Tim is wasting his best years cherry picking. I understand his team doesn't want him to take any damage, but time is a thief and punches are cumulative. Slaps count and bums never stop coming. Theres a down side to perpetual prospects.

            People are calling Tim an Email Champ, right? Just like Boots Ennis and just like they used to call Devin Haney?

              I hope Tszyu doesn't turn into another Boots Ennis wasting his prime years tongue wrestling and fighting body bags.

                Tim Tszyu is moving along nicely! After he destroys Thurman, I can see Jermell, Vergil, or Boots, lining up to fight him! Maybe even Crawford? He can't lose to "Once Upon a Time" though! That would be a career-killer!

                  Ok so Tyszu has been negotiating with Thurman for months. Thurman was probably being Thurman which means acting like a diva and pretending like he still has 2018 level popularity, so it made negotiations difficult. They went to Lubin as it seemed as if the Thurman fight wasn’t happening. During that process, Thurman finally comes around and they jump at the opportunity to face the bigger name but lesser threat. They then run to the press and blame Lubin for the fallout in order to save face. Sound about right?
