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

[Dan...]

Right around the time Verno KOed Tsyzu

Brutal that one. As a lifetime Kostya fan I still have nightmares about Verno Phillips.

mayweather fought 2 title eliminators to get to gatti. gatti! if he wanted to fight tsyzu he would have fought eliminators to get to him but he didn't want tsyzu. he wanted the easy fight. he let tsyzu get old until he got knocked off just like he did to cotto, margarito and currently pac. don't pretend like he was ever interested in making that fight.

Phuckin hata! Money Mayz called his punk ass out

[Gino Ros]

Who was Jrosales in his previous posting life?

Dax?

I would have liked to see Dax after Cotto fought Margarito and Pac.

Dude prolly climbed to the top of the Stratosphere

[Cash Cow]

when did Corey KO Zab?

I didnt mean to type that..I meant to say that Mayweather knocked out Hatton and Hatton made Tszyu quit...so him comparing Zab getting knocked out by Tszyu is pointless...

i was gonna make a comment about Zab knocking out spinks...was being dyslexic...

this convo has been going on awhile. and um, er, that guy was clearly pretty passionate about that position way back then.

it was fun to go back and read the goos 'ole days. Because even when people were unreasonably fixated on their favourite fighter, they would still be respectful towards other posters.

you know EXACTLY what changed the dynamic of this board.

Yes when people like BoZz over here started posting.

Kostya tszyu fought a few bumms and now he's a HOF?? lol is that easy now huh?

He's a bumm who fought a few bus drivers and got his fame really when he beat judah (via a very lucky punch)

He had no skills what so ever,he was very flat flooted with a bad defense.

He's a QUITTER who did not have the heart to keep going against hatton,QUITTERS are NOT Hall of famers!!!!!!!!!!

[-Kev-]

I made no such argument. I do not agree with Stallone being in. Try again.

So yo disagree about the HOF being a joke. So you think it's perfectly fine how boxers don't have to do much to get in?

If HOF are for boxers like Tszyu, then I can understand why people name guys like Mayweather, Jones, Pacquiao, Hopkins etc as ATG's. Because they are just to good to just be HOF'ers they are HOF'ers and beyond I guess. But it would be nice if the HOF was taken more seriously and really only the best who fought the best at their best can get in. Not just, you win a title here, you beat these 2 like this, and wala you're in!!!

[BigStereotype]

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 .

I actually agree with you here. Tszyu is a very very good fighter, but I don't think he has a HOF resume. At least, not what I would consider a HOF resume. Looking at some of the names in there...Jesus Christ, Jess Willard? He has a win over Johnson, but the reason most people remember that name is because he got blown the **** out by Jack Dempsey.

I disagree with people questioning the merits of the HOF when they have no clue about the fighters being inducted

Be careful, not Makavelli, but a lot of guys on here are eager to look smart and will nitpick any slight mistake you made and just run with that for 20 pages. You'll probably get "owned" now.

your facts just are not accurate. I was following closely at the time.
