ODLH and Floyd wouldn't even mention him, Mosley leaped from 135 to 147 and Kostya wasn't going to 147. Don't think he has enough names to be a HOF but he was avoided by other top fighters.

    But I guess if Gatti can so can Tszyu

        If he had fought even ONE of the top guys, i would prolly be viewing him differently.

        Id Wiley Hyena were still on here, his head would explode.
        what the *** are you talking about????? you had guys leapfrog zoo's division he was ruling with an iron fist.

        you know that kostya zoo won the lww title in like his 14th fight or something like that right? that's the weight he fought at his whole career...you're wrapped up in this media hyped bullshi t about guys who go up in weight and grab belts from scrubs. do you know how mant world titlists kostya beat? how about thehurtado win? did you see that? do you remember the rep hurtado earned by smashing everyone but sweet pea by the time he fought zoo?

        the problem with you gina is that you believe in all this hype nowadays where there are certain fighters who have this rep and a win over them means so much because of their name. that's all bullshi t, there were guys who were beasts back then that most of these floyd/oscar/mannY new fans don't see. Please note the different styles that kostya fought and murked. compare that to your heros from the current crop of fighters. just try and find a style of boxer from pure boxer to ****er to boxer puncher to virtuoso type fighter that zoo didnt beat

            I mean, since when did Corey Spinks knock Judah out faster than Money and for the Undisputed WW titles?

            I also wonder if anyone was even a fan during that time? When Tszyu was fighting Judah, 140 was called, by nearly everyone, the most talented and deep division in boxing.

            Sure, it's all so easy to look back now and say "There was nothing" but for those that actually watched boxing then and remember, 140 was the division in boxing and those guys were good fighters. Fights like Mitchell/Tszyu 2 was the most anticipated fight in boxing at the time.

            But hey, you guys go pretend Mayweather is the best 130 pounder ever after beating umm........who did he beat again? Oh, that's right an old Hernandez and Corrales. Who else? About six other nobodies who never held any title. You **** on Tszyu's resume at 140 and call Mayweather the best 130 pounder ever?
            When you fight about fifteen world champions compared to a few, how do they compare?

            It's like the Cotto thing someone was talking about. People remember Quintana as a good fighter and excellent win for Cotto. It's because you saw him fight. In five years, morons like the majority in this thread will be saying "Who the **** was Quintana? He was a nobody. I ain't never done heard Mohammad Admulexveevev. Who da *** is dat? If I ain't heard of him he's nobody. He ian't Money Mai"

            *sigh*
            THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

            good lord these people hear names and they think that it only matters if you beat dudes that someone like al haymon managed.

              I dunno who you are referring to. But you seem as though you think you're talking to somebody who started watching boxing when pac beat Oscar.

              you would be wrong.

Name-wise, I would say Chavez is a better name than any one on Cotto's resume but that wouldn't be fair. It's like let's just call DLH a top 50 ATG since he has 2 wins over a younger, fresher 32+ year old Chavez. But I understand what you mean.
                of course you can. zab and mag for starters

                  just cause you remain in a division beating b & c class fighters doesnt mean your a HOF...he ducked all of the elite A class fighters to remain in a less than steller 140lbs division during his "reign"......his most notable win is vs Zab Judah
