Kostya Tszyu Dwells on Ring Return

[Gandalf]

No, Kostya should stay retired. He has given his best and that is enough...he isnt gonna come back and beat Mayweather. I would love it to happen but its not even on the radar...

CC back Snakey. I don't understand how Oscar came into the thread but I know Oscar did not want to fight Tszyu for whattever reason. I would put money on Tszyu(prime)against ANY of the current generation boxers.

agreed

Who's saying he could land it? he couldn't manage it against the defensless Hatton

Id rate hattons chin better than cottos and tszyu did land it, just not enough and didnt follow up. Tszyu can still beat alot of guys in the division, id like to see a rematch with hatton in the US.

I don't think it was the fact that Hattons chin was so good but that he snuffed the power out of KT's punches by staying on his chest. Hatton said himself that Kosty'a power was on the end of his punch and he simply fought the perfect fight to eliminate it.

Cotto and Mayweather on the other hand fight at the perfect range to eat Kostya's best punches and I think although KT would struggle it is more than likely that he would catch both with good enough shots to drop'em.

Tsyzu wouldn't catch Mayweather with a butterfly net. He's too old, too slow and too done.

Leave him alone to practise his slow foxtrot.

I hate to say this, because Tszyu is one of my all time favorite boxers, but it sounds to me like he needs to retire. I'd hate to see him go, but he shouldn't return if his heart is not 100% anymore. He has nothing to prove to any body. He could retire today one of the greatest (if not the greatest) super lightweight champions of all time.

[means2184]

it sdangerous boxing when ur hearts not in it ...but id like to see hi fight Spinx ...it would be a safe fight for him ,but also be a big sell if they hype it right lol
kostya is deadly against southys so spinx would know better probably

[CityOfGod]

Fookin legend !!!

[Purist]

the tyson part and the elvis hair drop..if anyone could pull it off it was Kostya

[warreng]

i dont think tyson would of knocked hatton out that night. he would of walked through walls that nite. it was quite simply his time to shine. was so proud of ricky when he gave KT a low blow back after the 2 that he got, he sent a msg to him saying you do it to me and you can have some back, was lovely after the fight when they spent ages complimenting each other, and all the low blows where forgotten. both gentlmen

[TheBESTP4P]

KT was the TRUTH yo! If he comes back he needs to rematch Ricky Hatton for sho. and do it on American Soil. So Ricky has to fight fair and square. Also KT should rematch Zab Judah just to silence any questions at all.

[Purist]

Tszyu is never fighting Zab again.

[warreng]

ricky did fight fair and square, i aint saying hes pretty but hes fair. kt landed more low blows than hatton in that fight. i like KT but hatton done the buisness on him that nite, he took a hell of a lot of lumps and bumps as did KT but he beat him fairly KT had no complaints and would never dream of getting back in the ring with hatton again did you see the state of his face

[TheBESTP4P]

Tszyu is never fighting Zab again.

he should tho babe just to squash everything once and for all. it would make hella $$ for all the hard core zab heads out there wanting redemption blah blah. it would be a good tune up for ricky rematch too.

[CityOfGod]

Tszyu squashed the rematch in the ring when questioned about it:

"Remember what Zab said? Winner takes ALL!" - Kostya

Other favourites:

On his attack on Jay Nady

"He was like little child. Child with..with toy taken away by his father - it's mine it's mine! like little boy crying for favourite toy"

On Zabs posse

"Zab is big man with....gang. All people telling him 'your the greatest zab'" "But in the ring, his gang is not there telling him how great he is, he is alone, except..... Kostya Tszyu!"

On the KO

"Look at the second punch..right on the chin; i see his eyes they were gone - the referee was right to stop him falling. He is really really hurt. He is still kid...kid with whole life ahead of him"

ROFL!!

Not only was Zab sparked-out but Tszyu Pwned him with those post-fight comments !

Zab was brutalised !

[marvrealdeal]

He can still beat Baldomir, Cotto and would have a good chance at upsetting PBF. Given his power, accuracy and timing, you can never count him out.
