How good was Fabrice Tiozzo?

I remember Christophe getting all the hype, he was supposed to be the next Carpentier...

you're right my friend, that's the problem with the French, they do too much once one of their fighter is a fair one.

ON the paper in France he was nearly as good as Carpentier, you're right.

He might be remembered as minor in history, but I think he's satisfied being a 3times world champ. Few can say the same.

Never will be confused for an Adonis and at first glance you could just picture him wielding a putter and strolling across the golf course as opposed to wearing gloves lol.But he was a comer from what Ive seen though nothing really grabs you as 'great'.McCallum was on the a bit on the otherside but Tiozzo had him rattled bad off that right hand and went for the finish,to shake him at the bell and I thought he took it wider than the cards read.

He had some nice stateside exposure.He flat out hustled a decent fighter in Miller for Cruiser strap and the one I cannot erase from memory was the 2nd Hill fight.Had to do a double take that night as the normally pure boxing Hill had turned into a gloved blitzkrieg and bounced a shocked Tiozzo all over the ring in one.His weight fluctuations were really something else,like a roller coaster.

Tiozzo wasnt anything special IMO.

When he won the title on the Holyfield- Moorer 2 undercard the crowd got behind him but that was more down to their displeasure of Nate Millers laziness rather than appreciation for Tizzos skills. That was a razor close decision too.

I cant belive he got blown away by and old Virgill Hill aswel. Decent fighter but I was surprised to read his name on a thread title.
