It's a shame he never fought Tszyu too. Instead choosing to move up to fight a past it Gatti, Mitchell, an already broken Judah, Baldomir....

Then all these tough Welters turn up and he fights an old De La Hoya and a Light Welter who is also past his best and already proven to be hugely disadvantaged at WW.

Just my view
The only thing i'll say is that Kostya Tszyu would of got a fight with Floyd Mayweather but he lost to Ricky Hatton so Hatton got his shot which is fair right ?

And as for ODLH i give Mayweather alot of credit for the win ODLH had 1 stone advantage and plus if you look back at posts in 2006 and early 2007 people said he needed to fight ODLH to seal his legacy and he did indeed win at a weightclass he never fought at before then all of a sudden its ODLH is past it etc honestly i don't think Mayweather gets enough credit for quite alot of his wins im not saying he doesn't needed to fight Cotto/Margarito but i'll stand by with my comment i made.
Tszyu was the man of the division at that time and I think that is the fight that should have been made as soon as he moved to 140, afterall, what did Floyd prove at 140? That he could beat beaten fighters too?

Also, if Oscar was 5 years younger I tell you right now, Floyd would have gone nowhere near him, just like the Welters of today.
