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

[Gino Ros]

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?

A. Zoo was coming off all those injuries.

They also call him Verno.

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

Oh dear.

[-Kev-]

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

Lol well sorry I don't use boxrec like that.

Anyway, ya'll know who i'm talking about.

Oh dear.

Shhhh!

You're right, I think Van Gough's mates used to call him Verno too.

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

I think I would favor Kostya, I think was underrated skilled, he was a poorman JCC, but I think he also relied on his size and strength at 135. And, like many fighters who rely on size and strength in one weight(ex Marg/Hatton so on) don't hold those advantages when they move in weight.

Kostya wasn't poorly skilled either.

Winning H2H doesn't really mean anything. Because a lot of stuff would be due to styles. Saddler beat Pep 3 out of 4 times. But, you won't find a respectable ATG list that has Saddler ahead of Pep.

But yeah, the boxing HOF is very weak.

Posters made an argument that Cotto should go in to the HOF with a win over Foreman.

If Tszyu just made it in to the HOF, then obviously Cotto will go in as well.

It's really a joke.

Its a joke that you clearly dont know what you're talking about. Much like the TS.

[jrosales13]

There is such a thing.

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

I agree Kostya is not an ATG, but he is a HOF'er.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

in a ballot that saw Sylvester Stallone get inducted, this fool is having a hissy fit over Kostya Tszyu
