Or if not the most accurate power puncher of all time?

No, not even close. He timed real well, though, and his right was as straight as any I'd seen.

Yeah no way, Tsyu's thing was timing and accuracy. Not raw power. He had power but not that kind of power.

Zab would agree, he got hit with a punch in the worst position you could get hit. backing up str8 back, moving with his gloves down. And he is southpaw that got hit with a str8 right hand(happens to be Tsyus best punch). That is the wrong place, wrong time thing. You would probably have to ask Mitchell. He took a beating twice. But everybody any kind of good beat mitchell down to the ground same way.

How the fuck would you know, you dumb cunt - you think Tszyu was ahead on the cards when he retired on his stool vs Hatton :rofl

I don't know, you should ask him. But even Zab could get up (too)quick, his balance was just still pretty ****ed.

Might have been for the best. Tszu probably would have finished him quick.

What the fuck man? Zab Judah is either a glass jawed head case or he's not. You can't deify Tszyu for KOing a guy who supposedly has a very weak chin.

Many of Tszyu's contemporaries believed him to be a very powerful puncher.

Many of his opponents said he hit harder than anyone else they had faced.

It was even said at one point that he hit as hard as a middleweight.

I wouldn't say he was the most accurate powerpuncher of all time, but he was certainly respected for his power, and I think I'd be listening to those in the know over a group of teenyboppers on an internet forum trying to sound like they know what they're talking about :hey

Zab gets a lot of shit for his chin but Zoo gets credited with superb power and accuracy. Who at 140 who took the same shot wouldn't have gone down? Obviously, only Zab can do the chicken dance though...

I like Tszu a lot too. That still doesn't make him one of the hardest punchers of all-time.

Tszyu was a monster puncher, one of the hardest hitters ever pound for pound. People put way too much stock in the Hatton fight when Kostya was already past his prime.

Aaron Pryor hit harder and faster than Tszyu.

Not as hard as Vivian Harris (KO'd same opponents faster than Zoo) and Vince Phillips (took Zoos shots and too Zoo down with his own)

One word to describe his punches, no matter what you pessimist cunts say, & that is they were FIERCE

KT had a hard punch. But he was not in the league of Hearns and Jackson which IMO is the special power catagory. KT had elite power, but there is one of those guys around in almost every division. Guys like Hearns are in another catagory....but I have never been hit by KT either. :bbb
