Oscar's got a gold medal, he started at 130. I am giving it to Oscar by a slim margin.
    If Oscar fought Winky at 160, he would have lost 12 rounds, too. There's a reason that Oscar has never mentioned Winky's name.

    A quick-handed, defensive southpaw with long arms? That's no picnic.

    But I respect your opinion.

      Tito will be considered the greater fighter in my opinion...

      Tito dominated a weight class, something Oscar never did.

      Oscar fought a lot of fighters that Tito had already demolished.

      Tito beat him. Whether it was controversial or not. (I had it a draw)

      Tito only lost twice, at 160 against two of the best technicians of all time.

      But I don’t expect my opinion to be taken serious here since I’m Puerto Rican and most of you will just say that I’m just biased.

        What does winning a gold medal has to do with his career as a professional boxer?

        And he's better because he started at a lower weight? So he's better than SRR also cause Oscar started at a lower weight than Robinson?

          if you had it a draw, then you are biased....

            And things can change since they are still fighting...What if Oscar also looses his next fight to Hatton or Cotto? What if Trinidad beats Roy?

                Tito had 9, 10, 11, and 12.

                Which 2 of the first 8 did you give him?

                    I don't remember well, I think it was the 2nd and the 5th, but I'm not 100% sure...

                      Pernell was not done. You're saying that to diminish Oscar's win.
