I would argue that Tszyu was never elite, his biggest win was against Zab in a fight that he was getting slapped around till he landed the big right ( that made Zab dance lol). Not only that but he had only fought once in like 3 years prior to fighting Hatton.[QUOTE="pins_basic"]
[QUOTE="Mitten123"] Well the world was saying Tszyu was elite when Hatton beat him.... In regards to Mayweather and Pacman I agree with you...theyre at a different level...Mosley..Id expect to beat Hatton too...Cotto Im not so sure about...even 3 years ago...you need to remember its about styles too and Hatton Cotto would have been a dream to watch...second tier wuld bracket him as not being worhy of a world a champion which hes been for four years so is quite disrespectful of his achivements He is a top tier fighter...just not top of the tier. he should retire now and be proud of his achievements, if he does a farewell figt here in the UK - its a mistake

P.S. Cotto would destroy Hatton.
are u kidding me? kostya tszyu is one of the best junior welterweight of all time. he beat julio ceasar chavez (allbeit in the twilight of his career...but he only lost 4 fights while winning 104, and he was one of em) rafael ruelas roger mayweather miguel angel hernandez along with zab judah....how can you not consider this guy not elite?edit: here i'll give you a link to his credentials....http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=4388&cat=boxer
Imo, none of those wins are impressive.
