    Yes those are all above or below a division, but certainly makeable fights.


    Oscar can't even fight past the 6th round anymore. be real man!
    ok, so I asked for you to name fighters that proved Oscar was not a top contender anymore and you give me guys fighting at 160 and 170?
    We all know Oscar cant do **** at 160, so thats pointless.
    Oscar vs Shane would still be a great matchup, and Id take Oscar over Williams and Forrest every day of the week.

    The other guys you named really arnt even worth mentioning in this post because they make zero sense.

      Considering he hasnt been a legit contender, this should be easy.
      154 is hands down the weakest division in boxing, but I think Vernon Forrest would beat today's DLH. If Cory Spinks comes back down to 154 I think he can also outpoint DLH, he will hit and run just like Floyd did and win a UD/SD.

        I never denied 154 was weak but there is NO doubt that Oscar is a contender.
        And DLH would stop spinks imo.
        I think DLH would decision Forrest, Vernon could handle and older Ike, Oscar would tool him.

          Vernon demolishes Oscar today. Hands down. IMO.

          And as an aside: Tszyu demolished Vernon. Now triangulate that!

            Seeing as how Gatti lasted 6, I'd give Hatton the benefit of the doubt due to age and foot speed, and say he'll last until the 9th. Him and Gatti are two different fighters that have one crucial element in common - they are both 1 dimensional..

              You forgot to mention that Vernon dominated Mosley twice. If i'm not mistaken, I believe that is the same Mosley who beat Oscar twice.

                How about Mayorga beating Vernon twice, DLH beating Mayorga, Floyd beating DLH, and nobody beating Floyd? Same exact line of reasoning used by you and Wiley..

                  Use that term loosley.

                    lol....I completely forgot about that. What about this E?

                    Let me triangulate it out, since you're so into triangulating:

                    Mosely beats ODH. Vernon beats Mosely (like a battering ram). Tszyu boxed Vernon out of the ring. Hatton beats Tszyu. Hmm. Now let me see...Floyd beat Oscar barely. So...Floyd beats Hatton? I DON'T THINK SO.

                      That's what's ****ed up about boxing, styles make fights. Unfortunately for Floyd, Hatton has the perfect style to hand Floyd his first loss.
