How will Kostya Tszyu be remembered

[BIG H]

I don't think becoming an old man and losing to a peek Ricky Hatton affects your legacy!

Yeh an old 35 year old with less fights than Hatton and only one real war in the ring (Philips) and coming off one of his best career wins (Mitchell) where he looked awesome. Amazing how he became old and shot between fights

His KO win over Zab Judh was the moment that will be shown on the highlight reels of KT.

IMO his best and most spectacular win.

[intoccabile]

I felt the zab stoppage was terrible imo. Sure, he got up and fell back down.. but thats no reason to call the fight just because he was falling again. It was just so damn funny to watch. I always laugh seeing zab dance.

Nah, I don't think it should have been stopped.
Zab had alot of time and stood up too fast and was off balance and still
a bit wobbled, so fell again. The ref stopped it out of reflex IMO. Seeing zab stumble
around like that after standing.

I personally wouldn't have stopped it.
The ref had never even started counting yet.

What about the Tyson-Berbick fight should that have been stopped?

Or how about Tommy Morrison-Ray Mercer?

They were clearly out.
REwatch the zab knock out.
He recovered as soon as he hit the canvas again.
Berbick was OUT.
Morrison was OUT

Zab had full composure and had every right to complain

I agree and plus you gotta take into consideration that Zab won round 1 and was winning round 2 up until the brutal shot.

Same thing with John Ruiz he was clearly beating David Tua up until the brutal KO.

How about Duran he lost the 1st round 10-8 I think the 2nd knockdown was actually a slip. But in round 2 Duran was clearly measuring Hearns up until he got caught. But I think Duran was on his way to something there.

He had fought only 3 rounds in 2 and a half years and Mitchell was shot to bits by Tszyu and never did anything afterwoods. Hatton was always in the box seat in this fight. Injury and age beat Tszyu in the finish.

Kostya Tszyu also had a wild fight with Diosbelys Hurtado, where he was knocked down twice.

If i remember rightly his eye swelled up really quickly like one Arturo Gatti's eyes it was that bad.

Disobelys Hurtado was a good fighter he had two great fighters like Pernell Whitaker, Kostya Tszyu, down twice but he couldn't seal the deal.
