    kostya comeback - article

    hey people this was in an australian paper this weekend.


    KOSTYA ALL FIRED UP TO FINISH THE BUSINESS

    BY Peter Badel

    a rejuvenated kostay tszyu is seriously considering a spectacular comeback to boxing admitting he has unfinished business in the ring.

    speaking exclusively with the sunday mail, tszyu revealed a return was a genuine possibility following successful surgery on a shoulder injury he kept secret for 21 months

    tszyu fought with the debilitating ailment in his world title loss to ricky hatton last year, but refused to disclose the problem because he didnt want any excuses

    the russian born slugger had the operation last wednesday. he faces a 12 week recovery but the pint sized warrior gave the strongest indication yet he would make a comeback four months after claiming he had lost the diesire to fight.

    'a year ago i thought that's it,' said tszyu, who has not fought since his brutal defeat to hatton 14 months ago.

    ' but now i think ive found something extra ive found some other way that i want to fight, as far as im concerned there is some unfinished things for me. the satisfaction is not there. its not the way i want it to end. when i fully recover from this operation , i will make a decision. it will be a very considered decision. i will think it through a lot i dont want any rush. i'm not saying im definitely going to fight, but im not ruling it out. if everything is better with this (left shoulder) its more likely that i will step in the ring again.

    opinion will be divided on whether tszyu should return his trainer johnny lewis has said he would not support any comeback while many question whtether tszyu who turns 37 next month can defy father time and fight near his optimum again.

    but tszyu insists he can return a better man than the injury stricken fighter who was floored by the ruthless hatton.



    well now what do we think about that?

    fought hatton with a bum arm

    will he comeback

    who should he fight?


    discuss.

            I was unaware of the shoulder injury.

            Let me say this however......KT would easily waltz right back into boxing and win big fights.

            He's shown the ability to come back from extended layoffs....and is still a threat.

            He's washed up a tad since his youthful days....but power is the last thing a fighter loses.

            He had no shortage of punching power to say the least.

                Miguel Cotto or Vivian Harris.

                  I am a big Tszyu fan as well. I was also unaware of the injury. I'd love to see him fight Hatton again @147. Injury free, I believe he would win a rematch. Only problem with Hatton is is frikin wrestling tactics in the ring. Knock him out Kostya...please! even at his age I think he can dominate, if not Hatton then certainly others as well.
