Aftermath
Kostya Tszyu retired after an illustrious career and is still loved in Sydney to this day. This fight formed one of two fights, the other being against Carlos Maussa that brought Hatton the award of 2005 Ring Magazine fighter of the year. Hatton went on to beat such names Juan Urango, José Luis Castillo and Paulie Malignaggi but has since lost twice to pound-for-pound kings Floyd Mayweather Jr in December 2007 and against Manny Pacquiao in May 2009 via a 2nd round KO. In their March 2010 issue, Ring Magazine ranked Tszyu as the number one junior welterweight of the decade (2000's) ahead of Hatton who was listed at number two.
