After a legendary career, have we seen the last of the Siberian Aussie?

Anyone have any inside news? Shame if he finished on a loss. IMO he should have an easy fight in OZ or Russia and retire.

I never want to see him fight again. I'd say he's well set up financially so why carry on at less than what he was

Yup good points, I also saw a picture of him from dancing with the stars and thought he was so far above his fighting weight it wasn't funny, I don't think we'll see him again...

My favorite fighter of his era, and I believe he currently is an underated all time great. I believe he would dispense with other greats such as Mancini, Pryor, Arguello. I think the greatest Super Lightweight fight in history would likely be Cervantes vs Tszyu.

I think Phillips was a fluke, and Hatton was just a "past your prime" moment. He also brought a return to a "Joe Louis" style class to the sport while he was active. IMHO.

Oh and I have a question....anyone know where I can download the song "I'm gonna knock you out tonight". The song that was performed live as he entered the ring against Zab? Appreciate the tip if anyone knows.

You're right Trent, it's on the Kostya Tszyu, Destiny DVD. I believe it's called "Something worth fighting for" rather thay I'm gonna knock you out tonight. Type that in to Limewire or similar and it should come up.
