Is Kostya Tszu running scared?

[elveiel]

DLH is long past his golden best. Typical of KT to look for a easy way out. Hutton is young, mobile, a jack be nimble. KT would not be able to keep up. So his looking to take on a fellow is own age, hence the easy route: DLH.

DLH does struggle past 8 rounds but i think Tszyu is just a able now as he was 5/10 years ago, IMO Tszyu is at his best now.

Although DLH isnt in his prime i wouldnt call him an easy route, unless you mean an easy route to money because he's without doubt an elite fighter(even though i cant stand the guy)

Hatton is the #1 IBF and MANDATORY challenger. Tsyzu has to fight him or give up the title. Champions just don't give up titles for "bigger fights". He can take $5 million to fight Hatton and if he is so great, he'll beat him and fight De La Hoya after. Obviously won't happen though.

Love how the Americans keep running their traps about Hatton having to come to the States? Why should he? He is a huge draw here in England and you all know it's about money. Would say Bernard Hopkins come to England to fight if he could make more money in the States? Of course not. You go where the money is. Doesn't matter if it's England, America or Peru.

Put it this way and this is what I always try to tell people about **** like this. I dont think Zoo is running scared but when Harris did this you said that he was running scared. If Floyd was doing this you would be saying the same thing and you know it. Theirs always a double standard about this **** and dont give me that Zoo is the champ mess because he hasnt beat any of the top guys there right now. The division is much better now then the one that he ruled

DLH always likes a warm up fight before taking a real challenge, and he's stated he doesnt want to fight too often at this stage of his career!! This will give Tszyu plenty of time to fight Hatton before DLH is ready for showdown.

Wow, the guy who is dominating the deepest division for almost his whole career. Who had beaten the best fighters of that division and nw in the end is looking to cement his place in BHOF with a few megafights that are left in him is running scared from the "great"
Ricky Hatton. Give Tszuy a break he deserves couple of really big fights. HAtton on the other hand does not deserve ****.

WTF?

Why should the Champion go to Manchester and take an underpaid fight?

I think Kostya is much better off fighting De La Hoya in an epic dream battle.

This is Hatton who should go to Australia, PERIOD. Hatton is the ONE who has to prove that he is not a COWARD and can fight outside his home arena.

Kostya does not have to prove anything to lamers like you and your home-grown broilers.

Hatton has said he will fight anywere, its Kostya thats thrown up excuses. First Kostya said he wasnt gonna fight in Manchester, so Hattons camp said thats no problem we will come to you, then Kostya's camp started with hand problem excuses and other bull****, so dont say he hasnt got anyting to prove.........

Tszyu isnt running scared of Hatton, but he always fight mandatory so why should Hatton be any different??

Hatton deserves a title shot even if Tszyu vacates it.

Hatton has said he will fight anywere.........

That is what Hatton said to Sharmba Mitchell and then priced Sharmba Mitchell out by offering him a small purse. Read the news carefully.

I am sure the fight will happen, what we see is a negotiation.


I liked your prediction that Williams was going to KO Vitaliy. I still laugh about it.

Tszyu isnt running scared of Hatton, but he always fight mandatory so why should Hatton be any different??

That is not true. Tszyu gave up couple of belts in order to fight Sharmba Mitchell instead of some subpar opponents.


Hatton does deserves a title shot, no question about it.

I dont believe a word Mitchell says since the first Tszyu fight!!

The camera was on him when he told the corner he wouldnt continue to fight and straight after the fight he told the same camera the corner wouldnt let him continue!!

what a load of bull****, LMAO
