I'm Sorry. KOSTYA TSZYU is NOT a HoF'er. His Best Win is Zab Judah!!

[Gino Ros]

If I am not mistaken Kostya stopped JCC when JCC was coming off a lost to Willy Wise no?

If so I don't how anybody could judge that as being more impressive.

However, I agree with your overall post.

didya get your mail?

I don't know how true that is because Judah was suppose to be the man to actually beat him and Kostya fought him with no problem.

And, he was not content to stay with Showtime per say. He was signed to Showtime. At that time Showtime signed fighters just like HBO signed fighters.

I mean if we use that logic we can say the same thing about the other fighters that were on HBO. That they did not want to fight Tszyu cuz they were content to stay on HBO.

at the time he was fighting, the better fighters where over at hbo, if im not mistaken, i mean look at hbo's line up. they had zab judah for a while, they had floyd, castillo, corrales, guys like casamayor were on showtime but left for better fights etc. im sorry but all the talent around 140 besides tszyu preferred hbo, or ate least it seemed.

Whaddup, Vlad.

It's Doop. How are you?

This cat Addix thinks I started following boxing last week.

What is "Doop" short for?

?Duplicity??

Why not just say "Dup"? Or do you spell it as Dooplicity?

You're trying too hard.

I was thinking the same when you had to explain that they both began with V.

Here is why I think he deserves his place in the HOF - which is subjective anyway, and there are no specific criteria to get in.

For the simple fact that Tszyu knocked out Judah in 2 and that it took Miguel Cotto 11 rounds, Floyd Mayweather all 12 to a decision win, Cory Spinks all 12. Nobody ever Mike Tyson'd him like that again.

That it took him 3 rounds to dispose of Sharmba Mitchell, and it took Paul Williams 4 and Floyd Mayweather 6 rounds.

Those are simple facts that are enough in my book.

Tszyu had an ATG right hand. It's what he did. None of the guys you mentioned have the dynamite in their fist that Tszyu has.

Oh yeah you forgot to mention that Corey Spinks knocked out Judah faster than Cotto & Mayweather....why isnt Corey a HOF?

Corey was the UNDISPUTED WW CHAMP...I dont think Tszyu was ever the undisputed champ @140lbs

Both Spinks's & Tszyu's best wins are against the overrated Zab Judah...lol

cory took a decision and lost by KO.

That is one of the reasons I don't understand why everyone jumped on the "judah is a four round fighter" bandwagon. Just cause floyd said it.

The reality is that judah hurt cory very late in their first fight...and ko'd him late in the second.

Judah never had that rep until floyd said it
