    Julio Cesar Chavez. Oscar Delahoya. Pernell Whitaker. Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

    Just as a start.
    Lol! Don't even go there.

    Before Hatton beat him, EVERYBODY was saying that Tszyu was the best ever 140lber.

        I don't know who your "everybody" is.

        Take out the Hatton loss. Who did KT beat??

        I have NEVER heard him called the best ever. ****, pbf was ranked higher than him P4P BEFORE Zoo lost to Hatton. And they were in the same weight class.

        How can you be considered the best ever if there is a guy people are saying is better than you??

          Kostya was many journalists #1 lb4lb going into the Hatton fight, he was certainly my #1 lb4lb. He was KOTV's #1 lb4lb too.

            he is not the best ever, perhaps not even as good as PBF...
            Here is a good article about Kosta if ya dont know anything about him.

              Aaron Pryor would be the closest to Kostya in terms of all-time 140lbers, but Tszyu is definately #1.

                      But Mugabi shut him up, Gary had a long sleep after that sparring session.
