You guys are too serious.
I got Vince the name confused with Verno. Then to joke about it, I said Vince is also called Verno. Didn't know I had to say JK at the end.Comment

I was joking, Dirk is trying to flip it as if I was serious.
I did genuinely get their names confused, but I know who I was talking about. It's like talking about Miguel Cotto but mistakenly saying his brothers name Jose Cotto, only worst because these both of their names start with a V.Comment

As to the TS, find another champ of recent times apart from someone like Hopkins etc who was a top P4P ranked fighter for a decade, was the first Undisputed 140 champ in forty years, was a four time world champion, and from memory beat 15 future, former or current world champions. Fifteen. That's about as many as Pac or someone has, and no, I'm not comparing him to Pac or saying he has the 'names' but being the first guy to knock Chavez out is pretty comparable to laying waste to the Zombies of Oscar or Morales.
He also made about 15 defenses of his title, including about five of his unified and Undisputed titles. He doesn't have the 'names' of some of the bigger fighters but his period of dominance (find another fighter today who has beaten the next two top, main guys at his weight class the whole time he was champ and about half the fighters who were in the top ten over his reign) at 140 is utterly undisputed. He beat every number one fighter for his title and beat every other top champion in the division while he was at the top. Very, very few fighters in the sport over the last few decades have done what he did at 140.
Talking about fighters like Oscar, Mosley (who was never a 140 fighter) and Mayweather (him and Tszyu were in talks to fight after the Hatton 'money' fight, but at 36, being a part time fighter for the last few years and injury ridden, he lost) is evidence of not knowing what was happening in boxing otherwise you would know why those fights didn't happen.
If so I don't how anybody could judge that as being more impressive.
However, I agree with your overall post.Comment

tsyzu is a hof'er its kinda hard not to call him one and then call a guy like joe calzaghe one. he dominated a division for the better part of the decade. but io, he never wanted to fight guys he actually thought could beat him, which is proly why he was content to stay on showtime.Comment

Kostya tszyu fought a few bumms and now he's a HOF?? lol is that easy now huh?
He's a bumm who fought a few bus drivers and got his fame really when he beat judah (via a very lucky punch)
He had no skills what so ever,he was very flat flooted with a bad defense.
He's a QUITTER who did not have the heart to keep going against hatton,QUITTERS are NOT Hall of famers!!!!!!!!!!Comment
