How will Kostya Tszyu be remembered

[intoccabile]

Tzyu was a class act thats for sure. And a great fighter, his right hand was lethal at 140. His wins against Mitchell twice and Judah once stand out.

Still I can't shake the fact that he quit against Hatton.

It stays with me as the most defining thing about Kostya Tzyu. Which isn't fair. But still.

This will sound crazy, but i always saw the quit to hatton as a passing of the torch.
He saw hattons heart, his will, he saw how badly hatton wanted it.
He was content with relinquishing all of his glory to hatton.

I just always thought there was much more to it.
