kostya tsyzu is the best fighter on either guys resume
so how can you say its not debatable
is it just because you are a blind cotto nuthugger?
Not so sure that Kostya Tszyu's name is better than Mosley let alone where each fighter was at in their career. Shane still went on to KO Margarito while Tszyu retired because enough was enough. Tszyu had been on the decline for a while. His body was breaking down as well which is why he spent more time in the surgery room than in the boxing ring. 35+ years old, 9 rounds in 3 years, declined athletically and still trying to make 140....takes its toll.
For all the people saying Hatton's career is being disrespected should look at what is going on with Tszyu and realizing where he was at in his career when he fought Hatton. This wasn't the same Champ that won the title in his 14th bout.
He was an underdog against Judah more because he was seen as on the decline and not because one poster speculates that he was 1/4 Korean and 3/4 Russian/European. Even against Leija, he wasn't exactly looking at his best and was taking longer to warm up to fights which is a sign of a declined fighter when talking about someone like Kostya Tszyu who was a force in his youth.
Seriously, people need to get over Tszyu's KO's and go back and watch his full career and what he could do.
Hatton still needed to wrestle his ass to tire him out because he wasn't going to out-box him. And I'm not even sure that strategy to wrestle Tszyu would have worked had it been many years before.
[/QUOTE]cotto ever face p4p kings? i dont think so[/QUOTE]
what does it matter if you faced the p4p kings when you got dominated by both..Floyd basically won every fcuking round and knocked him senseless into the post..and manny made his whole body go limp...hatton is simply a big name with limited skills..ever since the kostya win he went downhill except maybe the malignaggi 11 round KO...cotto beat mosley a top p4p'er right now..quintana who was capable of outboxing the "most feared boxer" paul williams..clottey, a huge welterweight who is very underrated..and its funny how some say well hatton has fought the top competition...well judah fought (floyd, cotto, clottey, baldomir, tszyu) 2 fighters on most p4p list and no one talks about him being good..losing to good competition does not make u better...it shows you are obviously not on that level!!!!!!!!111
