BEST PUNCHER
Kostya Tszyu: There’s nobody I’ve been in the ring with that hits as hard as Tszyu. Roger (Mayweather) punched hard but, if you look at the tape, Roger hit me behind the ear. It wasn’t a legitimate, correct punch. I can’t give it to him. I don’t know if it was because of how old I was or where I was at in my career but Kostya Tszyu was a hard puncher. The guy stayed focused. He knew where to hit and he knew when to hit. When he hit me, the first shot to the kidney, I dropped. My kidney shut off. There was nobody who hit me and gave me something to think about…he did. When he hit me, I said to myself, ‘Man, I’ve got a wife and kids. This guy’s not killing me.’ I thought about my family in the ring. Kostya hit like a mule. You couldn’t take two good shots from Kostya Tszyu because you’d be totally done.
BEST DEFENSE
Kostya Tszyu: That would have to be Kostya Tszyu. He was very hard to hit. He punches real hard and he kind of pulls back when you come at him but you couldn’t charge him because he had so much power, so you had to be careful how you go into him.
BEST OVERALL
Kostya Tszyu: Only a couple of guys I learned something from. I learned something from Roger Mayweather. He was very strong. I would think Kostya Tszyu. I think it was his power. He was a very difficult guy to fight.
