前无敌超轻量级拳王考斯达•祖（31-2，25kos），自从2005年十一回合输给哈顿之后就没有再战。然而他并没有宣布退役，而是在他的故乡俄罗斯忙碌着。
祖，九月十九号就年逾不惑了，在当地政府的协助下，在俄罗斯开了一些拳击学校。
“我和训练者一起工作，确保新器材能让孩子们健康又强壮。”祖说道，此时他正在自己的第二故乡，澳大利亚。“这个项目对我而言是很大的一份责任因为我不喜欢做事半途而废。这就是我这段时间一直呆在俄罗斯的原因，把事情做好。创建这些运动中心是一份介于政府与私营之间的工作，很复杂，但我会把它做好。”
祖说他会去看米格尔库托与曼尼帕奎奥在赌城拉斯维加斯在麦迪逊花园广场的比赛，1995年他正是在那里六回合击倒杰克•罗德里格斯赢得自己的首个头衔的。
“我觉得曼尼帕奎奥不会打得很轻松，库托有天赋，而且在次中量级对帕奎奥而言可是个大家伙。甚至比霍亚还要强大，库托很强，帕奎奥得尽全力才行。但是帕奎奥是个伟大的拳手，我很希望看他挺过这一关。”
Former undisputed junior welterweight champ Kostya Tszyu (31-2, 25 KOs), who hasn't fought since being stopped in the 11th round and losing his title to Ricky Hatton in 2005 but has never announced his retirement, has been staying busy in his native Russia.
Tszyu, who turned 40 on Sept. 19, has been opening boxing schools in Russia with the assistance of the government.
\"I have been working with the trainers to make sure that these new facilities give children the best opportunities to be healthy and strong,\" said Tszyu, who is now back in Australia, his adopted country. \"This project has been a big responsibility for me because I don't like to do things halfway. That is why I have spent so much time in Russia this year to make sure it is done properly. Building these sporting centers is a joint initiative between government and private industry. It is complicated, but I will make it work.\"
Tszyu said he plans to come to the Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the same arena where he won his first title via sixth-round knockout of Jake Rodriguez in 1995.
\"I don't think this is going to be an easy fight for Manny Pacquiao because Miguel Cotto is a very talented fighter and a big guy for the Pacman to face at welterweight, even bigger than Oscar De La Hoya. Cotto is very strong and Pacquiao will need to be at his best. But Pacquiao is a great fighter and I am looking forward to seeing him in action live.\"

闲话两句：祖前辈，说话公道，但是既然不出江湖，还是宣布退役吧
