    Tszyu is overrated???

    Tszyu's biggest win came against Zab, other then this fight all Tszyu did is beat up on old washed up fighters. Look at Zab he was rocked by guys like Spinks & Baldomir, I think my sister probably punches harder then these 2 guys with no KO power what so ever.

    Tszyu in his prime was knocked out by Vince Phillips an OK fighter. I see people calling Tszyu one of the greats, the same people that think Tszyu was better then Roid. At least Roid did beat 2 legends in their prime "Toney & Hopkins" so please do not even put Tszyu in the same class Roid.

    I don't want to hear anymore how great Tszyu is or he would've beaten PBF. I think a guy like Castillo would've have destroyed Tszyu in a fight.

    Let's just face Tszyu is overrated, sorry Tszyu fans, I just can't call Tszyu an all time great.

    I'm a New Yorker in I like Zab, but I always thought he's getting way overrated on the boxing board.

      It's the fact man. Let's just face it Tszyu is overrated. I've seen Tszyu fight for a long time & I know what I'm talking about.

      I don't blame Tszyu fans disagreeing with me. That's what all fans will do.

        Just because Judah doesnt bother training for this fight and looks lackluster shouldnt affect Tyzsu's reputation.

          Yes, I think he's a lil overrated. He's still an ATG, he unified the 140 titles, beat a host of good fighters and knocked most of them out.

          But let's get real, Zab Judah would have prepared a lot better for Tszyu than he would for guys like Baldomir and Pineda. Zab is still a very good talent and it's still a great win for Tsyzu.

          Tszyu should be rated under guys like Jones Jr., Hopkins, Oscar, maybe even Trinidad. I'm not sure what you consider an ATG but Tszyu for me is still an ATG even though I believe he was a lil overrrated.

            see tszyu is a really talented fighter or i should say was a very talented fighter, he is old now. He should have fought more when he was young, but he did posess great skill.

              Yea...he had a great amateur career as well. Had well in excess of 200 fights there but wasn't as active as a pro.

                u may think he was overrated because of his ugly style. he said himself that he was always likely to lose up to the first 4 rounds but he would carry out the fight to his plan and he would win. and thats what he did.

                  kostya is a little over rated but, he would have beaten floyd. kostya was the man at the time.
