Remembering Kostya.

[rjj tszyu]

Yep my hero and knew it was time to retire after Hatton so quite a sensible man too. If only every boxer was like Kostya

[Spicoli]

Call it good timing or something else but his level of competition early on was pretty dern good.

[TitoFan]

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.

koysta is one of my favorite fighters. I like how he destroyed jcc, i always like how piss off jcc looks when his getting beat. Like how oscar did him.

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.

No doubt....Timing is everything.What goes around,comes around

[THE THIRD MAN]

I don't think we ever saw the best of Kostya Tszyu, he had some injuries to contend with and in reality he had a 3 year period where he was unstoppable from 1999-2001. He never got his chance of a mega fight against DLH or Mosley and boxing as well as Tszyu was the loser there. He would have caused both those guys major grief if those fights had of happened. His people were pushing for a fight with Chavez as early as 1994 after his win against Laporte in only his 4th fight! My guess is Chavez knew exactly who Tszyu was and wanted no part of him then. Both DLH and Mosley knew of him from their amateur days and i won't say ducked him but they certainly sidestepped out of Tszyu's way to go onto other big fights well away from 140lb. I rank Tszyu alongside Pryor and Chavez as the greatest 140lb champion ever. Hatton got him at the right time, pushing 36yrs, inactive and injury riddled.

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

[Andre]

Yeah I'd like to think so too.
Mayweather stepped right over 140 when it counted too.
