Yes, the same Mitchell who was the no1 fighter in boxings then deepest division. Tszyu nailed Mitchell, but didnt have to fight many rounds, so dont know what he wouldve looked like deep into a fight. Hadnt fought in nealy 2 years.

As for Gonzalez, a prime De La Hoya decisioned him in a close fight, there wasnt anything dominate about it for Oscar. That is why, many thoughy Gonxalez would be too much for Tszyu. The draw with Cagvez wasnt also a draw, you know how the refs are. I suppose Chavez really drew with Whittaker too, but that was so far inaccurate, it was embarrassing.

Maybe both guys suck. Maybe they are about even Hatton and Tszyu interms of beig overrated. Kostya did reign for a very very long time which is undisputed. Hatton has done more interms of angling for the big fights in two weight classes, and has come up humbely short both times by a landslide. Kostya has never been dropped for a KO. He was still on his feet when Phillips TKO him, and QUIT on his stool.

They have had different careers. Neither Tszyu nor Hatton will be rated above Pacquiao and Mayweather. Kostya did his thing, Ricky his own too. Tszyu has a longer resume. I dont even know if Hatton cares to fight into his early 30s, let alone mid 30s.
