Tszyu Future 154-lbs

He can most likely make good cash combating lesser opposition for a few years, however he’s not going to lift his recreation. Fighters like Fundora, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr, and Yoenis Tellez will at all times be too good for Tszyu.
Pursuit of Greatness
“It’s who you change into within the pursuit of greatness relatively than the end result itself. I’ve change into a distinct particular person in my pursuit of greatness.
