He beat Oscars left overs JCC and then his best wins are Judah and Mitchell i mean not that impressive. I mean he has beat no Atgs anywhere near there prime or even Hofs. He was in a weak division and never moved up to change that he is far step below a Mosely or Dela Hoya and far from a atg.
    The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about.

    The rematch was going to happen, but Millet KO'd Phillips and Tszyu went onto fight Miguel Angel Gonzalez. Weak division? In 2001 the Jr Welter division was often recognised as the most exciting and best division in boxing. DLH still could've fought Tszyu in 97, instead he went for an ageing Whitaker, Mosley avoided him completely by leap frogging straight up to 147lb!
    I doubt very much if anyone would not place Tszyu in their top 3 Jr Welters of all time, if they don't please refer to opening statement above.
    It's worth noting that Kostya brought a lot of excitement/entertainment to boxing, and I don't think there's any doubt that he was an elite level fighter or that he belongs in the BHOF. If some some have a different opinion, that's their right, just saying why beat a dead horse, Tszyu is in the BHOF now, so get over yourself.
