I mean my god, when you beat a Zab Judah and a 40 year old Chavez, no one's going to want to fight you!
You all laugh about Tszyu beating Zab but you all forget he was meant to be the next big thing in boxing.
Also if watch Zab fight after the tszyu fight hes a different fighter, he doesnt want to get hit. Face it Tszyu ended Zabs career, Zab would not be the scared little fighter he is today if Tszyu hadnt of knocked him out that way. So saying "oh Tszyu only beat Zab", well im pretty sure Tszyu beat Zab when he was at his best unlike
other guys like Clottey, Cotto and Mayweather and it all took them longer then 2 rounds 
Do you not maybe see the correlation between those two points?
It was a great shot to finish him no doubt, but it was that, we don't call Hasim Rahman an ATG because he got a great shot in on Lewis who I shouldn't even be comparing with Zab.
Zab won the first round as well.
The point is that Tszyu did nothing to give merit to the argument that Pacquaio, Mayweather, Mosley & De La Hoya would have all crumbled in his wake. All of those 4 guys are genuine ATGs. Tszyu just isn't, he was an excellent fighter and a almost certain Hall of Famer, but an all-time great he ain't.
