    No. "Prove" Oscar wasn't prime.

      Would that be "dogma"?
      ****,

      Barrera got brutally KO'd by Junior JOnes. Who was a very average fighter.

      You feel like you're getting owned again or is it too early?

        none of you can really judge if a fighter is still good or "prime" until after the fact(career) because, well, none of you know boxing

          I'll start that list:

          1) Kostya Tszyu.
          2)
          3)
          4)
          5)

          *ish
          Fighter's age at different rates, you cannot use one rule to fit all. What is far more important is the kind of fights they have been in and I'm sure you'll agree that De La Hoya's were marginally more taxing than Tszyu's.

That's fantastic. Next thing I am waiting for him to agree that DLH wasn't a PRIME fighter when Floyd fought him. I love you DD, you can be so smart and yet so ****** at times.
            Tszyu - prime and elite
            Oscar - prime and elite

              Hey Dominicano I just showed you DLH's track record as of late and you claim that he was PRIME when he fought PBF. Are u still sure about it?

                What is more debilitating to a fighter: six rounds with mayorga... or three surgeries?

                  Oscar, not prime! He lost to Mosley, he should've lost to Sturm who is a very average fighter. He lost to Bernard and he got hit a bit by a very shot fighter in Vargas. He fought Mayweather at 154 cause he knew his speed didn't used to be what it used to be when he was PRIME. That's a very bad record and when you couple that with inactivity, that's definately not PRIME in my book.

                    Delahoya lost to hall of famers. Where's the shame?

                    Oscar was prime and elite in May, 2007. Prove otherwise.

                      Prime and elite. Build a bridge and get over it.
