I think we only ever saw glimpses of his true brilliance in the ring. DLH, Mosley and even Mayweather had the greatest respect for him and whenever his name was mentioned as a possible opponent i reckon they were all a little wary about taking him on.
Apparently uncle Roger told Floyd to leave Tszyu alone. I actually think Floyd would have won but that in itself shows how fearsome he was.
That's odd then considering they reportedly had a deal in place to fight assuming Tszyu beat Hatton & Mayweather beat Gatti

Tszyu also had a deal set up to face Oscar only to lose to Vince Phillips.

I do feel Tszyu gets overrated a bit, particularly by Aussies, but then I also quite liked him as a fighter & feel for him that he was unfortunate to miss out on the two biggest paychecks of his career.
The option was available for him to take Tszyu first but he took Gatti and hasn't looked back since.

Also he'd have never lost to Phillips again and had he fought Hatton when he was younger (like when he fought Judah younger) he would have beaten any version of Hatton.
