I think the answer to this question is Obvious. Oscar has more victories, has held more titles, & has a superior resume. But the reason why I ask this question is because some of the haters claim that Floyd is fighting a lesser caliber fighter by fighting Oscar later on this year.
I wouldnt mind seeing Floyd beat on a former titleholder with 5 losses like Margarito. But in the end it does nothing for his legacy. Because once he beats Margarito the haters will claim that Margarito was just an overhyped former champion. But beating Oscar twice does alot more for any fighters legacy.
Is there anyone who actually thinks that Margarito is better than Oscar?
oscar would trash margarito in his fish net stockings and golden wig.
lol
Oscar can be the first male fighter ever to also be a ring card girl during his own fight..
Oscar clearly has the better resume, he is the superstar here.
However:
I also think Margarito would have a very good shot at Beating Oscar right now.
It would be something like Oscar vs Vargas except in this one Vargas doesn't have as weak a chin, is well conditioned, doesn't wait on Oscar to tee off, , constantly mauls him and is technically sound.
Oscar simply can't deal with guys like that, hell he practiced on how to be more physical with Freddie and he couldn't do it in training and obviously couldn't do it against Floyd.
Plus you guys have to remember Oscar is an Older semi-retired fighter that fights at his convenience. The fact that Floyd had a hard time with him is a negative on Floyd not a Positive on Oscar, who still lost despite seemingly having a small fighter freezing in front of him like a deer looking at a pair of headlights as they come closer.
no question, oscar of course. this question is the result of the successful BS from the Marg fans pushing their fighter. No offense to the thread starter but this is an insult to DLH to even ask this question and I am by no means a de la hoya fan. I like both fighters.
I didnt think about it that way but you are right it is an insult to Oscar to compare him with Margarito. But I was just asking a question. I pray to the boxing Gods for forgiveness.
oh haters, when will you ever learn!

I cant tell the future but Oscar DOES have the better resume & credentials.
Nobody could argue that. Not even close. But Margarito is at his peak and Oscar is on the downslide. He's only going to get worse with age and inactivity. Margarito is a bad style for Oscar and he is smart enough to know that.
Oscar>>>>>>>>>>>>Margarito
If they both retired today, history would agree with your sentiment. Now, if they fought today Margarito eats that ass up. Oscar would get brutalized for 12 rounds. It would be like SRL vs Terry Norris... Old guy just cant beat the younger stronger, fresher guy down the stretch. Let me repeat for the ignorant here... It would be a 12 round beating. Oscar will NEVER take this fight... Kudos if he does... He wont see Mayweather in the fall...
Just did this one..
Oscar average opponent 34 wins 3 losses
(although he did lose 5 times this is one of the best averages Ive seen so far)
Marg average opponent 21 wins 4 losses
(this is a bit misleading because he fought someone with 179 wins)
I think
in 2008
Margarito beats Oscar
BASED ON WHAT..????
Golden Schlog...
DAMN I never thought somebody would say this....?
:buttkick: UR really are a Fan of Margarito...
Oscar has the better resume and credentials, but in 2008 Margarito is the tougher opponent.
I cant tell the future but Oscar DOES have the better resume & credentials.
I think
in 2008
Margarito beats Oscar
:ugh: Why?
Even old Oscar gave the best fighter on earth alot of trouble. You are entitled to your opinion, but what is your reasoning?
