      Kosta tsyzu i love, but think he is slightly overrated...

      biggest win was judah,,,,
      lost to hatton......

      basically 1-1 in legacy fights....
      beating up shambra 3 times and leija and tackie i dont consider ATG wins,,,
      KT was a great fighter of his era but i think overrated in terms of history...
      Shane and oscar both stop him if they fought...

        Not trying to make this a history thread so keep it from ALi's era to the present..

        One that comes to mind for me is Micheal Spinks...

        IMO he was the best lightheavyweight ever,,, def top 3...

        He was gold medalist,

        lightheavy champ,, pretty much ko'ing everybody

        beat holmes for the heavyweight championship, and yes it was controversial but it wasnt a straight robbery...

        and the only thing people remember about him is being ko'd by tyson...
        yea,,,its a real shame his image got tarnsihed in that tyson fight. alot of people thought he quit which is ridiculous. tyson was a beast back then and spinks got caught big. no shame in that. he is underrated

            Yeah virgil hill gets overlooked alot,, he just turned pro with too many stars like pernell, meldrick and evander

            and losing twice to hearns hurt his legacy,,, those should have been passing of the torch type fights, but tommy wasnt letting go....

            nowadays everyone thinks of hill going down to that brutal bodyshot by roy jones...
