You wont get an argument from me that a Skilled pressure fighting brawler beat Tszyu, he did. Tszyu both got beat in his prime once, and quit, as I saw no protest when hos corner pulled him.
Im just saying the reason why he's going to Canastotas Hall Of Fame is because he reigned for a Very long time, 10 years as a world champion, AND THAT IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT, and whether you think he's a great fighter, or overated and a very good one, the hall of fame is for great accomplishments. So eveb if you took the beluef he was a touch overrated, very good, but not great, he IS a great fighter by way of the accomplishment ofhis kong reign that puts him right into the top 3 140 fighters alltime.
I believe he was great the Great fighter beating a long list of very good opponents. He quit, he lost once to an opponent in his prime, and he bever beat a great fighter in their prime, that is the flip side. The other side, he's a hall of fame fighter, FOR A REASON
