    Martin, thats what me and Zab are banking on people thinking, that he's got a ****ty chin. I want everyone thinking that and saying that. If it is said enough, people'll keep buying it as reason enough to fight Judah. Then we'll see them be unable to land those punches.

    One of the biggest bs things about Tszyu is that he ducks people like a *****. Look how many times he pulled out against both Judah and Mitchell. I don't buy all those bull**** injuries. Not for a second. And they try claiming that Judah said no rematches before the first match took place. Umm...who the **** ever talks about rematches before the first one happens? Judah said Winner Takes all, which simply meant he wanted the winner to get all the titles and the purse money. That doesn't include "no rematches" too, as most of Tszyu's supporters try to say.

    The fight was stopped with controversy. If Tszyu were a real man, he'd have given Judah a rematch. But, he refused, trying to say he was just making Judah wait. That's bull****. He never intended on fighting Judah again. Only way he will now is if he gets brave enough to go up to welterweight.

    See this is how I could see a Tszyu vs. Judah rematch getting made. Tszyu beats Hatton in a couple weeks. Judah has his match July 23 on the king ppv, another mandatory probably, easy win. Then he fights DLH in September. Tszyu says he wants the DLH vs. Judah winner, thinking DLH will win and it'll be a huge payday. But, DLH doesn't win when Judah shocks the world and embarrasses DLH, sending the Golden Boy into retirement (though I hope Oscar don't retire and just blames the weight and his trainers, which could set up Floyd vs. DLH)...

    So Tszyu is then obligated to fight Judah. He finds himself either having to fight Judah or Mayweather. Knowing Mayweather would kick his ass all day, and knowing Judah could make the same mistake, he takes Judah instead. Zab kicks Tszyu's ass in one round, retiring the bum, and making me the happiest guy on the planet.

    Will it go down like that? Probably not at all, that's my ideal situation really.

        Sheriff Lucas Buck, It's a nice story... But very unlikely.

        P.S... I don't think there was anything controversial about the Tszyu vs Judah stoppage. If you count 1-10 he's barely on his feet at 10 seconds, let alone in a position to continue fighting.

        I don't think Tszyu's been ducking anyone.

          Fighting Hatton is alot bigger risk to Tzyu than fighting Judah. He already knows he can deal with Judah easy.

            I gotta question... When Tarver knocked out Roy Jones Junior, suddenly Tarver was No.#2 on everyone's P4P lists. Everyone justified it with - "I'm a strong believer in, You gotta beat the man to be the man".

            A lot of people have Kostya Tszyu No.#3 or #4 on their P4P lists... So "IF" Ricky Hatton beats Kostya Tszyu in 2 weeks time, will he automatically become P4P No.#3 or #4 ???

              I dont know, You will have to ask ring magazine and the Boxing Writers Association of America to find out what criteria they use to lay down their P4P rankings. I really dont know.

                I would assume they would put him in the top 10 P4P.

                    a) Judah said 'no rematch - the loser gets a job at a gas station'
                    b) Tszyu's injuries were legit
                    c) Judah has a ****ty chin. Sorry mate.
                    d) Tszyu has the best resume of any 140 fighter, and never gets accused of ducking, except by a person with a gay Zab Judah cartoon in his sig
                    e) If Tszyu is a bum, your hero got knocked down twice (would have been three times if Nady didn't hold him up) by a bum with one punch. How embarrasing for your hero.
                    f) A little too much of your happiness is dependent on how another man performs when not wearing a shirt.

                      hmm

                      A lot of people have Kostya Tszyu No.#3 or #4 on their P4P lists... So "IF" Ricky Hatton beats Kostya Tszyu in 2 weeks time, will he automatically become P4P No.#3 or #4 ???
                      If Tarver can get top 5 p4p for taking advantage of an old, weight-drained Roy Jones, then Hatton definitely gets to be top 5 p4p for beating Tszyu (if he does) considering Tszyu looked great in his last fight and has had a great camp also.

                      If Hatton wins you got a p4p list that looks like this for me:

                      1) Hopkins
                      1a) Mayweather
                      3) Winky Wright
                      4) Ricky Hatton
                      5) Diego Corrales

                      (something like that anywho)
