Yes Tszyu is an all time great. He fought in the deepest era in the history of the weight division and dominated. He's aloe one of the greatest amature fighters ever.

Tszyu beat:
Jake Rodriguez
Rafael Ruelas
Diosbelys Hurtado
Miguel Ángel González
Ahmed Santos
Oktay Urkal
Ben Tackie
James Leija
Sharmba Mitchell 2x

all quality fighters and all legit top ten guys at 140 when those fights took place.

and he's not done yet.

I put Tszyu #3 all time at 140 behind Pryor and Chavez

tszyu has a chance against anybody who has ever fought at 140...i think leonard would outpoint him though

Yes, he's on my short list at 140.

And my list is very, very short.

As for the solitary KO, if having been KOd eliminates a nominee from being enshrined in Canastota, the Hall of Fame would have been vacant except for one resident: Rocky Marciano. As far as I can recall, among the great ones, it's only Rocky who was never stopped. He didn't even lose.

Larry Holmes came close: he didn't lose in 49 straight fights and was on the way to besting Marciano's record when Michael Spinks beat him on decision. Holmes retired with the record of having lost only once in 50 fights and never having ever been stopped.

Then, he came back... faced Mike Tyson...

What make Tsyzu so great, is his heart and determination.
After that Horror loss to Phillips, Zoo should of been out of the boxing elite. Most boxer dont recover from a bad loss.

But Tsyzu showed heart to fight his way back and KTFO out of two fighter in spectacular fashion. Going into the fight, he was an under dog and most Americans wrote him off.

I think the final yes or no on "Kostya Tsyzu..all time great???", depends on how he ends his carreer.

Every loss now will damage his legacy.
