I noticed that a lot of fighters who fought Tszyu were never the same again after. Gonzalez, Mitchell, Hatton and of course Zab were just never as good again.

Hatton had some wins, but he was sluggish in most of them before his next elite fight against Mayweather and then his debacle against Pacman.

Judah has been all over the place ever since, sure he won the Welterweight title (in two attempts against powderpuff Cory Spinks!) Then loses to Baldomir? He is 14-5 with one NC since 2001 and has lost to every elite fighter he has fought.

He ruined Gonzalez and Mitchell was gone after that KO in 2004.

People can be critical of Tszyu all they want, at the end of the day he unified a divison, was a world champion from 1995-2005 and that makes you a worthy Hall Of Famer.
