Tszyu is overrated???

[the_truth_1984]

Tszyu isn't overrated.He is at least a Top 10 Jr. Welterweight of all time.However he wouldn't beat some other all time great jr. welterweights such as Aaron Pryor and J.C.C..I will say this though Kostya can't handle pressure.He was tko'd by Phillips because Phillips kept the pressure on.He quit vs. Hatton because of pressure and Jesse James Leija was winning their fight because of pressure.

why is this even a topic? tszyu has one of the best resumes you can have. i think he had only fought one person with a losing record. not to mention an outstanding amateur record.


shamefull attempt at discrediting an all time great.

Easily the best junior-welterweight of all-time, not just as a pro but as an amateur too!

He has never been out-boxed in his life.

KT was a beast.

I think if he would of stayed in Russia, or came to the U.S.A. instead of Australia he would of lived up to his potential: Russia, he was a beast and never truly looked like a happy person...in the States, he would of been around good fighters all the time, enough to motivate him to fight more often, plus he would of had a better trainer and may have stuck to his old style.

Money, Happy life, family, nice surroundings, etc. can kill a boxer

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.

you are full of crap........if he was a U.S citizen, you'd be licking his balls, but because he isn't you call him overrated...........how many other champions do you know who has KTFO out of the other champions to unify the division?...remember that, no paper titles, he fought the other champions and KTFO of them...fought about 13 world champions.......so he is rated on that...

[Dirt E Gomez]

Overrated is a term that is thrown around a lot. Of course he's overrated... but only by crazy people. He's also extremely underrated by different crazy people. He was an extremely skilled fighter who will easily be HOF and had a great career.

i wonder if anyone else in the modern era has ever knocked out the three other champions to unify a division. (dont shoot me down if they have that was a genuine question for the trivia buffs)

Naseem Hamed (Johnson, Vasquez, Soto).

One thing is for sure, his power is not overrated. Tszyu has devastating power.
