Kostya Tszyu in his prime could be best described a machine. He had a great amature pedigree winning the 1991 World Amature Championships and also won the European Amateur Championships in two different weight classes.
He was a tremendous puncher in both hands and extremly strong for his weight. He threw crisp, accurate, hard blows. But his bread and butter punch was his straight right cross. Which was a devastaing blow.
He also had a strong body attack that would break foe's down. But most of the time he would just flatten them with punchers to the head.
When he wanted to be he was also a world class boxer as he proved when he gave tough Ben Tackie a boxing lesson in 2002. He was also brillant at blocking and parying, and at his best a very dedicated sportsmen.
He won the IBF Title on just his 14th bout beating PR Jake Rodriguez and defended it five times. He would later win unify the division.
He stopped fast boxers like Zab Judah and Shrmba Mitchell and outboxed and outclassed big hitters like Tackie and a faded Julio Cesar Chavez.

yeah, while his resume isn't A+ i do think it's criminally underrated by most. How come you left out Bergman, everybody always leaves him out, that was a good winComment
