    So, if Tszyu was prime, so was Oscar.
    Was Oscar #3 p4p in the world when he fought Floyd? No

    Had Tszyu fought only ONCE in almost 3 years? No

      Actually you're right. I'm not sure if he used the word elite but it was something along the lines of Witter having a win over a prime fighter at 140 and Hatton not.

        [QUOTE=DIOS DOMINICANO;2904489]I am STILL waiting for you to prove that Oscar wasn't a prime elite.

        You gonna do that?

        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 Mayorga. 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.

        I have it in red just like you like it. Now tell me how this is PRIME. He's ELITE no doubt about it but he doesn't exactly fit the definition of PRIME now does he?

          He used both and since you remeber it, I guess this doesn't make me a liar.

            Yeah but between 03 and 04 for Tszyu he was almost off 2 years.

            While Oscar was off 1 and half years. Oscars activity edges Tszyu by about 3 months.

            Though it's hard to say that Oscar was more active because Tszyu retired during his inactivity.

            Had Tszyu fought only ONCE in almost 3 years? No
            Mayorga? Oscar was also much more active in 2002-2003-2004 then Tszyu was on the sidelines do to injuries.

              Oscar gassing the way he did against minimal offense proves he is not prime. There is no evidence within the Hatton/Tszyu fight that Tszyu had any real blatant age-defined flaws like that.

                In three years:

                Oscar: 3 fights, 27 rounds

                Tszyu: 3 fights, 21 rounds

                True Story.

                  what is more relevant is the time inactive before the fight against hatton/mayweather. Oscar almost doubled it.

                      Oscar faded late vs Trinidad. And vs Shane. how was age-related?
