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

[jrosales13]

If Kostya Tszyu doesn't belong in the HOF then 90% of the people who have already been inducted shouldn't be in there either!

Mike Tyson for starters

I agree that Zoo should be in the HOF, but you guys are getting carried away.

To say that 90% of the HOF doesn't deserve to be put in ahead of Kostya is ridiculous.

There is some that are in there who don't belong ahead of Kostya. And, I gave Bernardo that list but it is not 90% not even 50%.

And, me personally if I can vote for only one guy to get in the hall for either Tyson or Kostya. I would vote Tyson...

However, I hear people say that Cotto is a HOF'er. But, I would Tszyu over Cotto. I wouldn't vote for Cotto in the HOF, I would put Kostya over Gatti as well and over Corrales, Hatton, and Castillo who Bernardo mentioned.

I agree...

Glad you could join.

I wanted to continue the discussion from last night in a separate thread.

I do not view his little run as dominance. I'm sorry. I don'y/

As far back as 2007, I er, umm, remember this guy arguing with squealpiggy and some British fans that hatton's win over tszyu was not all that impressive.

If I'm gonna be in the minority on this, i'm cool with that. But i know what I saw. And I know what i like

[Grimmer]

Tszyu got stopped by Verno Phillips in his prime, and Ricky Hatton. Verno Phillips? Come on.

Vince Phillips.

[pistol whip]

Still,

nobody is addressing the merits of Tszu on his own. Or saying, no, gino. You are wrong because zoo was better than shane or barrera, etc.

Soo is a lower-tier Hofer in my book.


and , if I remember, some guy had made the poll on here a few years back .

Lower tier Hall Of Famer? LOL way to downplay being one of the best fighters of all time.

[Gino Ros]

....and Castillo who Gino mentioned.

Gino didn't say that he would put JLC in the Hall.

I just think he was a better overall fighter, and I would have favoured JLC in a head-2-head

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I know who did what. K. I know exactly who was fighting how and who.

remind me again why you are laughing at a Pernell/Zoo matchup?

Well you clearly dont otherwise you wouldnt need to ask those questions.

Why wasn't all that impressive?

Because he was past his prime, inactive and already injury prone?

Or because he didn't see Zoo as a good fighter?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

It's his best against a prime fighter. Or what was better? his stoppage loss to Verno Phillips?

It was Vince Phillips but whatever. Boxrec is great isnt it?

There is such a thing.

Jim Rice is not Willie Mays
Scottie pippen is not Oscar Roberstson
Kostya Tszyu is not Pernell Whitaker

[-Kev-]

Vince Phillips.

They also call him Verno.

It's like Cotto having Junito but you never hear it.
