    Excellent mid distance fighter with excellent timing but an average inside fighter at best thats why he lost to Vince Phillips because he couldn't get any punching room...........

    Kostya Tszyu generates his power better at mid distance still a great fighter but that was his weakness when a fighter fought him in a telephone booth it is quite a shame Kostya Tszyu never got a chance to show his skills against the top boys i think he would of done well against most of em.

    Two fighters have made instant fans out of me by beating... er... humiliating someone I hated:

    Kostya Tszyu (Zab Judah)
    Marco Antonio Barrera (Naseem Hamed)

    Actually, I was a fan of both before then, but this was icing on the cake.

    Yeah its not all a matter of how" but also when" plays a big factor in the outcome.
    That was good timing for Kostya to fight Jcc right at that stage of his career .
    He got to taste the same when Hatton timed him out perfectly.
    He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.

    Yea i know but i would still root for kostya over jcc prime vs prime. i think mosley would also beat jcc prime vs prime at 140. Mosley vs koysta sadly never happened and I know mosley is an honest guy, he knew koysta could beat him. Im a big koysta and mosley fan so i think they'll beat anyone seriously they would
