Strange thing to say, after Tim lost to Fundora, twice, and tko'd by Murtuzaliev.

Not even the best of his generation. He will never be better than Jai Opetaia who truly could become the best Australian fighter ever.

Jai is better in every department. From skill to will. The skill gap is enourmus even though smaller fighters are most of the time more skilled but Opetaia is levels above Tszyu when it comes to boxing ability. And even when it comes to heart, desire and pure mental strenght it is not even close. Opetaia has a iron will and Tszyu himself knows that he is not what he thought he is. He went from i'm ready to die in the ring to sitting on the stool looking like a abused dog begging his corner to stop the fight.

timofei is already out of his prime (32 soon) and he has only 1 good win (mendoza, should have been unification) with a few ok ones. when will he do all that to become the greatest? classic st up id hyping. i like him in the ring but his resume won't be great.

No, just no. Tim is the product of a spin off (his dad) and great marketing. It was all an illusion and now that Tim, and boxing fans, have had a reality check, the hype has died out. And if, like I 've said before, Spence is just half of what he use to be, we will see Tim's last fight.

He had a really good and strange run, made the IBO cruiser title seem meaningful after winning it in the fight with Roy, defended the title mostly weighing around 185, Briggs took a dive against him, finally loses it getting pasted by Tarver.

Tim is the Aussie answer to Conor Benn. Mediocre boxer with a famous father.

Thats just a ****** thing to say. Illusions dont win world titles. If they did then you would have one

Another lobotomised pelican. Look up the word mediocre then, unless only losing to two fighters at world title level is not superstardom, admit that you have issues with either your vocabulary or your lobotomy.
