"Tszyu would have blown Hatton away in two rounds" (Lovemore N'Dou)

[THE THIRD MAN]

"People forget that up until he fought Kostya Tszyu he hasn’t fought anyone credible. He was the most protected species I have ever seen. He beat Kostya, so what? It's all about timing. He beat Kostya when he was ready to be taken. It happens all the time. It's like when Tszyu beat up the great Chavez, it was all about timing. Chavez was ready to be taken. On his best, Tszyu would have blown Hatton away in two rounds. I know this for a fact because I have done a lot of sparring with Kostya when he was at his best." excerpt from NDou interview

I agree with him.

Just like he blew away Vince Philips

But Kostya was good fighter but do you guys actually believe he would blow away Hatton in 2 you have got to be kidding.

Tszyu had a gastro attack the night before the Phillips fight and came into the ring under 140lb. He was easily beating Phillips in the first three rounds then lost all energy. I don't think he would have blown Fatton away in two rounds in 1999, I give him five tops. Just like the subject 'One fight to many' it happened to Tszyu in one fight and at 36 years of age he couldn't handle the younger opponent. Five or six years earlier and the fatboy is thinking how many drinks have i really had!!!
