My point is so simple yet the self-proclaimed smartest guy on this forum can't get it. Dominicano, that's you I am referring to.
Ricky's win over Tzsuy was against a prime and elite fighter at the time who was recognized by all media, and he stopped him. Floyd's win over Dlh was against a fighter past his prime, and he split-decisioned him. Wow! Was this so hard to comprehend
Oscar trained his ass off for that fight. he would have been a force to be reckoned with against any fighter that night.Comment

Which discredits him even further, in a sense. Oscar transcended any single weight division. So narrowing the argument down to simply a 140 comparison is severely limiting the argument for Oscar, compared to what you could say if we were comparing bothe men's careers.Comment

[QUOTE=DIOS DOMINICANO;2891259]Typical Dios post. Lie and leave. You'll never get over how owned you've consistently been regarding Kostya Tszyu. Oh well.....nite.Comment

Well you can see it as you want to see it. I don't think Tszyu defending 140 his whole career is a discredit to him at all. There is something to say for a fighter that successfully moves up when naturally smaller. But, IMO it discredits a boxer to merely jump up and fight lesser fighters to claim just another of the many belts that are out there.
Oscar may have "transcended" any single weight division. But, the fact is that he never "transcended" Tszyu at 140. Never. Tszyu will go down as one of the great JRWWs. Oscar's not on that list.Comment

I don't see the logic here.
How do you suppose that?Better? Not at 140.
Definitely, not perhaps.Faster? Perhaps.
Julio Cesar Chavez + Miguel Angel Gonzalez >> anybody Tszyu has faced at 140 (even though Tszyu faced Gonzalez later).Fought better comp? Not at 140.
He's definitely more healthy, not perhaps. He's even still active.Healthier? Perhaps.
Irrelevant. De La Hoya is more accomplished overall and fought Floyd at 154.Accomplished? Not at 140.
Still younger.Younger? Just barely.
I doBetter chin? I don't agree.
How would you figure that? I'd say Oscar's left hook beats Tszyu's right hand any day.Stronger? Not at 140.
Of course Oscar still knocking out opponents at 154 while Tszyu couldn't even hurt Hatton or Vince Philips would argue against that.[/quote]More powerful?.....Tszyu is more powerful.
Indicated by what, or are you just making a silly claim for the sake of disagreement?Better counterpuncher?......Tszyu was better.
Nonsense. Tszyu loses to JCC and JCC loses to De La Hoya.At 140 Oscar loses to Tszyu.
Yes, to fight a much much better opponent in Pernell Whitaker.But, then again Oscar had his chance to fight Tszyu at 140. It never happened. He allowed himself to be stripped rather than fight Tszyu.Comment
