You only have to see Oscar's record to see how many hall of famers he fought!
All the below were top ten pound for pound rated when he fought them. That he lost some (a few by split decision) is hardly a disgrace:
Julio Cesar Chavez
Pernell Whitaker
Ike Quartey
Felix Trinidad (very debatable loss)
Shane Mosley (twice, both very close)
Fernando Vargas
Bernard Hopkins (close fight until stoppage, well above Oscar's natural fighting weight)
Floyd Mayweather Jnr (very close fight in my opinion)
And thats not mentioning the likes of Hernandez, Leija, Carr, Gatti, Castillejo, Mayorga and Sturm and a few more who were decent world champions in their own right.
That he mixed in this company and more than acquitted himself well more than edges his resume over Calzaghe.
Calzaghe only fought one top ten pound for pound ranked fighter in his entire career and that was Hopkins. Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and Jones were certainly not pound for pound top ten when he faced them. He did face some half decent fighters in Woodhall, Reid, Mitchell and Brewer, but these weren't pound for pound rated.
Not Joe's fault, but lets just say that if he had met the mid to late 90s versions of Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Roy Jones, James Toney, Montell Griffin OR dare I say Sven Ottke (in Germany at least you'd have to fancy a shocking points robbery!) at super middle or light heavy then his record might not have been so perfect.
I suppose the super middleweight division was a bit weak for Joe's era, not really any pound for pound superstars to face, again not Joe's fault but it will harm his legacy a bit.

p4p lists are joke. Wlad is the most dominant champ in boxing and hes left off most lists...theyre a popularity contenst. I watch boxing, not was a buncha tards say. p4p who wins head to head Floyd or Vitali? If you have an answer youre an idiot. you shrink Vitali down to floyds size with vitali's power and reach? he kills floyd, you move floyd up to vitali's size with his speed and quickness and skill, he kills vitali. p4p is ******ed.
