KING KOSTYA

[sammystate21]

Fantastic Video, great great job

[paulie1vivaaxl]

I wish he was 28 again so he could clean up that joke of a division.

[FightsNews]

At Kostya only great-grandfather Korean, other all in to family Russians

[MrDaveLogan]

In Australia Kostya is a very respected person. Even people who are not interested in sport and couldn't care less about boxing respect Kostya for the human being he is. You won't see Kostya screwing a hundred porn stars a week and snorting cocaine like other sports people do.

[feelMYgurth]

kostya is TOP SHELF, as a boxer and a person.

[danlfc1983]

LEGEND!!!!!!

[Jetball74]

great post mate. Kostya's my idol....

[loopoin]

just one word "CLASS"

[redryan5048]

Top Dog !!!

[slybicki86]

true king of the ring

[slybicki86]

true king of the ring

[dvr123us]

Out of all of the self-centered, 1/2 retarded, criminal, troglodytes, the mainstream promotes we have the gem of the entire sports world who no one knows... quietly fulfilling his destiny with dignity class. Ramon Dekkers is another one. It is a shame really.

[ajaka11]

LONG LIVE THE KING!

IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE SEE A BOXER THIS GOOD AGAIN...

[Rdixon8047]

Always good to see Tszyu fans!

[o0leg]

did you make this your self or what?

Great video!

keep it up...

[mardragon73]

he knows where he is from thats all that matters. Loved his work as a russian/australian has given me some great moments. Great fighter, great bloke!

[REGGIESILK]

KOSTYA TSZYU korean blooded but born and raised in Russia..

[bigpimp1124]

russian bulldozer!!!

[kozjevime]

@bigpimp1124 JUST TO BE INFORMED: MOTHER OF KOSTYA IS RUSSIAN AND FATHER KOREAN FROM SIBIRIA, NOT FROM KOREA.

[Raizzor1]

He is rusian you fools

[petergarner1971]

go mongol warriors !!

[MrAjax86]

He's not mongolian!!! He's korean!

[petergarner1971]

hes got mongolian ancestry on his fathers side. please check your facts before posting thankyou

[MrAjax86]

He's father can't be mongolian he is korean he moved from north korea to russia like all koreans who lives in russia! And he's mother is russian! Kostya and he's father are members of korean comunity in Russia! You have to check facts! Cause I know him and all his family!!!Or maybe for you all asians are mongolian? thank you!

[petergarner1971]

no, i dont regard all asians as mongolian, but as you know, the mongol empire did stretch over half the geographic globe so there are obviously strong mongolian links to modern asia ? if you know KT and his family and you can confirm facts then fair play to you and respec for being close to a truly great fighter and human being. my facts are always checked btw. if u r right then it would seem that they are all misinformed

eg wicki. looks like a mongol warrior to me ..peace, respec

[kozjevime]

@petergarner1971 JUST TO BE INFORMED: MOTHER OF KOSTYA IS RUSSIAN AND FATHER KOREAN FROM SIBIRIA, NOT FROM KOREA. REGARDLESS, HE IS RUSSIAN PATRIOT AS HIS WIFE IS RUSSIAN AS FAR AS I KNOW AND HIS SONS HAVE BEAUTIFUL CLASSICAL RUSSIAN NAMES.

[kozjevime]

@MrAjax86 SO IGNORANT! HIS MOTHER IS RUSSIAN AND FATHER KOREAN FROM SIBERIA, NOT FROM KOREA!

[petergarner1971]

the TRUE destroyer

had to be destroyed first

[thetruthwillsetufree]

Middleweight power in a SuperLight's body.

[Mig29tvc]

Russian School is the BEST

[brendankhoury]

The only boxer I've ever respected as a human being, not a showboat.

[theoriginalhob]

This guy destroyed southpaws!! Fuckin Awesome! One the best junior welters ever no doubt

[Jetball74]

One of the few boxers that lets his fists do the talking.

[samdirs]

great boxer thats not up himself. anybody agree?

[dogooo45]

@samdirs ARE YOU KIDDING????

[Mig29tvc]

This is the best picture of Russian people, they looks so simple BUT if you make them angry THN its too late. Just look at Fedor Emelianenko, the same thing.

[Kasdas2]

Eh, difficult to call him russian. I mean, yeah he has ancestry, but he also has mongolian and korean ancestry. Plus he's probably a real australian by now..

[Maorisidol]

yes he's more aussie with a telephone line straight to Putin in he wants. His 15 year old Son is just starting his boxing career himself here.

[Jetball74]

Long live the KING......

[robbo3para]

i think so higly of this man to the point where i belive he would have beaten hatton in his prime and if he ever would have fought mayweather their is only one winner for me and that is kostya! his training ethic is an inspiration and the way he composes himself is a true champion role model!!!!!!!!!

[plojoe1086]

Great comment!!couldn't agree more...Boxing needs more people like him!!

[ironmikegtyson]

Best post on this entire page!!! To bounce back from the Phillips loss on go on a tear and become 1st undisputed jr ww champ in a LONG time shows the dedication, work ethic and spirit of the GREATEST 140lb of all time

[pearnomore]

My idol

[mOzza18]

nice vid. gracious champ. :D

[RichCwm]

Tzsyu vs Mayweather @ 140 dream match up.

I'd favor Tszyu!

[redryan5048]

DEF one of the best punchers of all time, all his fights were class to watch,once he landed that huge right....wow its over!!!!!

hatton just like all british boxers wait for the ageing champs to get too old then they wana fight them. joe calslappy is a perfect exsample hopkins and jones have a combined age of 83!!!!!!!!!

[ironmikegtyson]

Nailed it on the head. Dickhead Hatton's rd 9lowblow-not even a 'keep em up' from that blind, bribed, fat piece of trash ref Dave Parris. Makes me sick. He's only been successful becasue 99.99 of his fights are at the M.E.N. arena, his backyard. When he came to Vegas, Collazo needed 10 more seconds to drop him. Then Mayweather TORE THAT ASS APART. And why didn't PBF go after the REAL 140 lb champ when he fought @ 140 for a week? He fights Gatti. Tszyu vs PBF=more $ than PBF vs Gatti

[TheChimeMan]

but he got back up and beat collazo :) checkmate

[ironmikegtyson]

checkmate? 15 more seconds Hatton was done. Yes your boy got the win, but Floyd got beat by Castillo but Floyd still has the 0 on his record. You know it and I know it. Collazo beat Hatton

[TheChimeMan]

um..no if you look at the result, i think you will find hatton won :)

[ironmikegtyson]

Using that logic, Chavez beat Meldrick Taylor, De la Hoya beat Whitaker, Griffin beat Jones in the 1st fight. Technically Hatton won, fine you win. But your boy is going down May 2nd and THAT we can both agree on

[TheChimeMan]

"my boy"? why do you make the assumption im english?im not. im a hatton fan ye, but i love manny to, tbo im just looking forward to a good fight!

[MrAjax86]

Hatton won cause kostya was old olready! And i can't say hatton is good boxer! He was only few months as a champion!

[Jetball74]

You got that right haha!

[OkieSlims]

Chavez did beat Meldrick.. it's not his fault the ref waved it off.. he did what he was supposed to do.. which was to destroy his opponent.. Steel decided not to let Taylor limp to the finish line.. Either way, Chavez would have came out looking like the winner of that fight because Taylor was just destroyed by the end

[OkieSlims]

Yeah.. and Lewis vs. Holyfield 1 was a draw too

[lucasishairy]

beautiful video mate showed his ups and downs and his true spirit, power and iron will

[rabbittraps]

most gracious champion of any sport. pound for pound the second hardest puncher in boxing history.

nice bloke.

[ironmikegtyson]

whos 1st? Foreman? Tyson? Shavers?

[rabbittraps]

..elley bennett...australian aboriginal boxer from 1940's. 5 feet tall, same weight as a large potato, no legs,..regarded p4p hardest puncher ever. check him out.

[plojoe1086]

Whos 1ST???

[mcjep]

great boxer, great heart!

[IrishABO]

that was a mad video one of aussie best boxers good speed and punching power

[unlocked1evil1]

i use to live 4 houses from him, fantastic bloke, and an awesome fighter i'm proud to call him an aussie and mate, not like jeff fenech, don't worry jeff about a rematch with nelson, see if kostya will fight you...he'd kick your ass, back then and now.

[lutenco]

GREAT BOXER;GREAT MAN!!!!!!!

[LOSHOK2]

Песня заебатая

[boxingfanofthegame]

Wicked vid

[boxingfanofthegame]

Wicked vid

[alshda]

At the risk of sounding like a know-nothing, can someone pleas tell me who the black and white picture before chavez is of? is it just KT with a beard or an old great i cannot identify?

[alshda]

nevermind, its roberto duran

[shayzer19]

kostya is a fantastic figher,i have followed boxing for years an hatton is my idol but i really though tszyu v hatton was one of de best fight i have ever seen.both were great,it was so close but i think tszyu is maybe to old now but what a fantastic talent 2 boxing,a real fast an powerful boxer.Excellent

[yarabah2008]

my friend (he's had 139 fights) sparred kostya in sydney. he said kostya's power for a 140lb fighter is insane.

[uRGaTroYd]

Great boxer, awesome human being! Russians and Aussies are rightly proud of this guy. To me there is more dignity in a loss at the end of a stellar career than retiring without risking anything (we all know who I'm talking about). Tszyu never talked crap, never made excuses and never ducked anyone.

[luciusinfabula]

Spot on mate!

[tszyufan1]

Awesome video.

Amazing fighter. Im 14 years old and he is my idol. When i had the fortune of meeting him he treated me like a friend and i will never forget that

[kel1981]

What a great video

[DonItaliano4Ever]

One of my favorite fighters to watch. Great all-around fighter, true sportsman. Hands down, the best 140-pound fighter to ever lace a pair of gloves. What more can you say about him?

[IrOnMiKe151]

im not so sure about that lol but hes great

[IrOnMiKe151]

What a man

[philh81]

amazing fighter

[sixboltmains]

Anyone else notice that EVERY comment here has been positive - how rare is that on youtube. Really reflects on the man. Absolute champion. They dont make them like him anymore.

[kenj2258]

wanna know just how strong Kostya Tszyu is: someone told me he has done 55 straight pullups, hard to believe, but if true that is downright astoudning!

[loopoin]

kostya tszyu one of my top 5 fighters of all time great heart , power , timing, and style and never says a bad word about his opponents . true champion

[Melchiot]

You're so right. Kostya was pure class, from head to toe.

Oh, and a great video!

[IBP18X205]

i jus canna not say enuff about this vid, it is awesome, i would NEVER wanna be hit with one of those KT body shots, awesome!

[mcjep]

Angelo Dundee

[IBP18X205]

I'm ear marking this as a favorite.

[youknowmystyle]

Great Video man... Good shit.

[jahbrake9791]

Kelly Pavlik...the new Kostya Tszyu.

[liquidjav]

hell the fuck no. i like pavlik but hes no kostya tszyu. kostya tszyu was just too sweet a boxer.

[diggerty]

who the fuck is kelly pavlik

[flyinghotwing]

i too always loved kostya cuz he was the ultimate professional, took care of business out of the ring and took care of business in the ring with a killer instinct and never had anything negative to say about anyyone, LONG LIVE THE KING

[goser8]

MONGOLIAN WARRIOR :)

[jahbrake9791]

Great vid and i like the song

[bigajosep]

wat an annoying song

[renoplayer2351]

It's a shame I missed HIS ENTIRE CAREER. After all the Tyson B.S. i stopped ordering PPV. From what I hear a very class man, and heard that Angelo Dundee called him one of the greatest fighters of All-Time.

[tigerrish]

He is a true sportsman, gracious in defeat and respectful when he wins. The American fight fans wanted to hate him cos he was Russian, but they loved him in the end cos he never shot his mouth off. He will go down in history as one of the most respected fighters the sport will ever see, and he never hit a fighter on the way down to the canvas.

[flyinghotwing]

if u watch closely he hit a couple of these guys on the way down but there is nothing wrong with a killer instinct, what you DONT want to see is a guy hit the other guy when the other guy IS already down on a knee or something!

[digger1976]

fantastic vid mate thanks

[PaulHoweCarlisle]

he was and is brilliant true champ!

[RussianMoskal]

Great video!! Thx man!!

[LA18thStEMEXVIII]

im king kostya #1 Mexican fan....!!!!!!!

[flyinghotwing]

right on...i appreciate cross cultural fans, i am latino too and love kostya!

[jimpurdie]

i love kostya at the end walking through customs at the airport to greet his kid and wife after koing judah,look at kostyas wifes tshirt on the back it says K.T! cool!

[jimpurdie]

anthony mundine is a boxer from australia a super middleweight.hes an arrogant arsehole.

[boxingfanofthegame]

What is this song called ??

[QQQQQman]

The Killers : "All these things that I`ve done"

[xylofish1]

who is mundine?never even heard of him

[znotty]

the best Aussie boxer russia has ever produced!

[cocacolaisgood]

Simply the best.

[70Mack]

Great fighter is the little Russian and a faverite of mine,Hatton fought him at the right time and with the game plan!

[punka13]

Great vid thank you so much for sharing with us

[diggerty]

what a great video.shows a true champ

[shopwreckin]

tszyu had ridiculous hand speed and sniper accuracy. all his power punches were thrown at where his opponant was going to be. very little wasted energy. him vs mayweather would've been awesome. oh well.

[anaconda6669]

True it would of been a great fight! I believe he would have been regarded as the all time pound for pound if he played the welters as well. He would of had De La Hoya and all other big shots in that division, he is a gift to the sport. It is sad to see a legend ride off into the sunset!

[woonyeun]

i respect you kostya! i'm korean and i'm proud! hehe you should beat the hell out of that mundine though he spoils the beautiful sport

[Kalamoosess]

He really is the KING, he has awesome speed, power and agility. Lots of respect for him

[Slotff]

The only problem with this video is that Kostya has soul AND he was a soldier.

[andrewelo]

The music's great & compliments the video very well.

[boxingfanofthegame]

2 Thumbs

[SirMo]

Legend!

[ironmike985]

Kostya is a future hall of famer, he was like a sadomasicist during trainig and an animal in the ring, nice guy outside and just a warrior. But why do people like cardiffness come out with such bollocks!!! I was there that night in manchester and it was one brutal fight. Excellent video.

[Maco1974bc]

GREAT FUCKING VIDEO MAN..

[cardiffness]

let him get fucked up by hatton again

[ironmikegtyson]

ahahahaah let hatton grapple and low blow him all night again

[cardiffness]

didn't hear tszyu complaining coz he is a real man and dont make excuses like u

[ironmikegtyson]

hatton ducking and dodging again, now hes afraid of castillo. hatton is a fraud. u stupid brits too blind to see that

[cardiffness]

Duckin my ass, he will fight and KO Castillo say something after the fight iz ova or offically scrapped

[Stank1981]

very good video Thanks a Lot!  What is this song name???

[jonGNZ]

nice video kostya is a legend

[marinejackson]

song was brill for the vid! Kostya da man

[Kostya2]

I didnt like the song choice, good highlight though

everyone seems to use the same footage of Tszyu

[orubor]

whats the song

[ironmikegtyson]

All These Things That I've Done by the Killers. Perfect song for this video, no?

[ironmikegtyson]

Awesome video. I like how it starts with his 2 losses, then into him training, like in real life he never gives up. One more fight Tszyu to solidify your spot as greatest jr. welterwieght of all time
