yeah that same one.....and we are talking about the 2002-03 Tszyu who fought once a year if that...and wasn't as good as the 90's version that got pounded by Vince Phillips...
Wasn't the plan to fight Spinks thereby setting up the rematch with Judah at 147? Wonder what happened to that?
Mitchell racked up a string of victories, became the 2nd best 140lber in the world...and the Tszy-Mitchell rematch became the best fight around
your teenyboppering has failed you once again Illu....after losing to Phillips Tszyu became a much better and smarter fighter
mitchell's stunning victory over frank houghtaling had the boxing community clamoring for a return match with tszyu
just cos he wasn't a popular fighter like tito or cotto doesn't mean you have to hate, illu....you gotta start to think for yourself and not jump on fighters bandwagons just cos it's the cool thing to do :dunno:
Exactly... Tszyu was "Smart" Enough to AVOID Vince Phillips like the Plague, Because he KNEW he Couldn't Beat him... REED:mj:
I dont think anything "ruined" Hurtado. The muthafucka was just born w/o a chin. Hurtado was so fuckin chinless, he woulda killed to have Norris' jaw.
his chin wasn't THAT bad. whitaker tired his rookie ass out and also wore him out w/ body shots. tszyu did the same. harris and bailey were both hard punchers. norris got nearly KTFOed by that fucking scrub troy waters or whatever his name was.
Hmmmm... After BEATING Tszyu, Vince Phillips Defended the Title 3-4 Times Over a Span of Nearly 2 Years...BEFORE & AFTER Every Successful Defense, Phillips Made it CLEAR that his Intent was a RE w/Tszyu, as Kostya Represented the LONE "Money Fight" for Vince....Phillips even Said he'd Grant Tszyu a RE in Australia, Russia or WHEREVER he Wanted it... It Got Soooooooo BAD, Tszyu Asked Jim Gray "Please Do Not B Rude to Me", After Hearing about Phillips for the 1000th Time...Tszyu would NEVER Even Entertain the Idea of a RE w/Vince Phillips...Wouldn't even DISCUSS it.... He had NO Interest in a RE for HIS Title, Even on His OWN Hometurf...Given the Circumstances, what would YOU Call it???.... Shit, REMUS from Boxing Fanatics (Isn't he your Brother or Something???) Got Soooooooo TIRED of Defending Tszyu on the Vince Phillips Matter & Finally Said, "I Honestly have NO Idea why he Doesn't Want a Rematch w/Phillips"...Having Worked in Tszyu's Camps & Been w/him on Some Fightnights, Remus Obviously DIDN'T Want To Accuse Kostya of Being SCARED, but Remus Could No Looooooooonger Rule it OUT or JUSTIFY Tszyu's Actions Either.... REED:hammert:
Another thing Tszyu should recieve credit for is being a reigning champion without being the largest, if not one of the largest fighters in the division, he appeared to have a very small frame, he was a little bit stout sure, but proportionally he was a real junior welterweight,.. and that's pretty rare these days amongst this incompetant 'even-size assured' weight system. He also never ran like a bitch,.. and when you dont take backwards steps, usually your inevitably in for a loss or two. If you run from your opponent, well fuck me, you can move up multiple weight divisions with your precious '0', and get all the accolades in the world for it, "WOW!!!".."AMAZING!" ..sprinting and clinching in 3 minute intervals, and sliding by on points victories.
I thought it was before he even really started questioning Tszyu but this could be correct as i don't really remember. Grey is a weasley little prick.
I thought he said that because the guy kept talking over the top of him. It's been a long time so REED is probably right.
And I give you credit, because although I picked Hatton to beat Tszyu at the last minute, about a month before the fight I offered you a life long sig-bet by which you could opress my avatar and signature forever. Id have still been getting dressed up, Id have been your bitch on a leasche if Hatton were to beat Tszyu. But to your credit, you learned brutally after the Sharmba Mitchell 2 sigbet, not to mess with nostradamus,.. and subsequently turned down my offer. :bears:
Jim Grey is about as likable as a booger. Kostya should have knocked him the fuck out. Jim Grey is/was Showtime's- NBC's little annoying attack dog who never had a girlfriend, was never in a fight in his life, never played sports cause he was a little pussy...never had a friend in school because he was/is a geek. And he's badgering athletes who have accomplished more in a day than he has in his life? Jim Grey and Jim Rome should be shipwrecked on a deserted island somewhere in the middle of an ocean., all by themselves so they can suck each other to death.
