He cleaned out the division and unified the titles, becoming undisputed, and defended them, finally lost at 36. The Phillips loss is really his only blemish in a nearly perfect career.
The guy is not overrated, he had a hell of an amateur career.I wished the fight with Mayweather ocurred, can Mayweather really take one of Tszyu's bombs, thats the ?, i think Tszyu would have a shot with mayweather.
I agree. He is overrated, he beat many over the hill guys & his biggest when was Zab, now Zab is considered to be a bum.
He was also stopped in his prime by Vince Phillips a B level fighter.
Pretty much sums it up.
Lets keep in mind...the victory over Mitchell was not that impressive. Mitchell himself was overrated, and he did a lackluster job in his fight with Tackie.
Something Ricky Hatton made look relatively easy in pounding on him the distance. KT put on a pathetic, boring show.
Outside of the forementioned names he's never beat anyone worth note....except for guys in wheelchairs.
However...I will maintain...he's an excellent fighter...just not the god everyone made him out to be.
