    But his resume? Way way way overrated.

    Just read the names.

    Ben Tackie? Sharmba Mitchell? Old Leija? OK thats the older oft-injured version of Tszyu but still.

    He lost to an inferior fighter (Vince Phillips) in his prime. By TKO no less. Great fighters don't lose to guys like Vince Phillips in their prime and not at least avenge the defeat. Sure there are exceptions, but those guys have more quality WINS.

    Again look at the wins even in his prime. Ancient JCC, old Mayweather, old Gonzales. All of those guys were heavily past their prime at the time.



    I can count at least 4 guys Toney beat that I know for certain are better than anybody Tszyu beat on his resume. And Toney actually beat fighters in higher divisions. Good to great fighters.
    he also lost to some pretty bad guys without avenging the defeats.

      Let them think Kostya was just some heavy-handed thug who didn't beat anyone. That is exactly what his opponents thought and look how they ended up.
      Look, I don't like the dude. there are fighters who YOU think are overrated...right?

      Are you very impressed by Terrible Terry norris?

      Opinions vary. what's funny is how people get their feelings hurt over another man's OPINION.

          I have no source for that, you'll have to search for it yourself. Or go watch the fight again and maybe they say it there. Mayweather was underdog at Vegas odds, sorry if you didn't know that.

            Dan is from Australia, Tszyu is from Australia. That should explain the bold. It's like some Pinoys with Pacquiao.

              Whose feelings are hurt?

              I always here you people talk about hurt feelings.

              I hit you with red k, so what? I think your opinion is wrong. My feelings are not hurt at all, I don't value your opinion, so I couldn't care less.

              We are here to share our opinions. You voiced your opinion that Kostya doesn't deserve to be in the HoF, I voiced mine that your opinion is rubbish.

              I see plenty of people in here telling you that you are wrong, but that doesn't constitute hurt feelings.

                It was virtually an even money fight.

                    And if you wanna talk about underdogs, how can you say Judah was a better win than Corrales when Floyd was 5-1 underdog against Corrales?

                    Wow @ the bold.

                    How did Hatton do against Castillo compared to Mayweather?
                    5-1 underdog....good lord.
