Agreed, but this would normally happen when a fighter has had a series of gruelling fights an a really tough career. Using Tzsyu as an example, he had hardly been in any tough fights and had looked sensational a few months before fighting Hatton in afight where he hardly got hit and the critics said he lookd at his peak.

Didn't Hatton-Tzsyu happen after Tzsyu had been off for almost 2 years because of surgeries?

Mayweather-Gatti and Hatton-Castillo are a couple of examples.

Fighters unlike other sports people only find out when they are past it when they are getting punched in the face.

Gatti was shot but Castillo beat N`gogou the guy who was robbed against Paulie. Its an American thing Lacy was over-rated, Kessler fought no-one, tszyu was old, Hopkins was shot etc...............................

No Tszyu destroyed Sharmba Mitchell in 3 rounds about 6 months before the Hatton fight.

Agree.I wish many would shout just as loud Before the match up's as they do once it has concluded.A lot of revisionist history form & take shape when it comes to one's favorite fighters.

I thought it was going to be something about Joe Calzaghe's style of fighting;D

Kessler is still a very good fighter.
