        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.

          Kostya Tszyu is a legend and the second best 140 pounder of all time, behing Aaron Pryer

            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.

                Kostya had the style to beat Mayweather, without a doubt. Not a fight Mayweather ever wanted, I assure you.

                  As a person:

                  Great ambassador for the sport.

                  Gentleman.

                  Never made excuses for Hatton loss whether others would have

                  Respectful of opponents

                  As a boxer:

                  Great right hand

                  Excellent techique of throwing range finding jab followed by left hook and straight right. Great combination

                  Extremely fit and dedicated trainer

                  2 style fighter. As an amateur evasive and in and out. As a pro, particulary post 2000 more of a power hitter and less movement.

                  Great carear.

                  Might have 1 more great night in him, espcially against a boxer rather then brawler like Hatton

                      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.
