De La Hoya Controversy

[MANGLER]

Big boxing day for me and some other cats that had the day off. Oscar's name just came up in our boxing discussion. We're talkin about his close fights, opinions v facts. My take on it:

Drew with Whitaker (he got the decision)
Lost to Quartey (he got the decision)
Pissed away the last 3 rds and still beat Trinidad (he lost the decision)
Beat Mosley in the rematch (he lost the decision)
Lost to Sturm (he got the decision)
Lost to Mayweather (he lost the decision)

I only agreed with the Mayweather outcome. Curious about everybody else's thoughts.

I need to score the Whitaker and Quartey fights again, but I definitely had Oscar beating Mosley in the rematch (116-112) and Trinidad (116-112). I had him losing to Sturm (a close but clear 115-113) and Mayweather (116-112).

He did NOT lose to Quartey, the fight was close and entertaining ass **** but Oscar won, that last knockdown sealed the victory for him.

[Silencers]

I had him beating Quartey, Whitaker, Trinidad and Mosley the second time. I had him losing to Sturm and Mayweather.

Only legit losses were, Sturm,Hopkins,Mosley 1 . He beat Whitaker,Tito,quartey, and Mosley in the rematch. We should all appreciate a fighter like Oscar, who takes on these guys instead of looking for the easy payday.

No doubt oscar is one of the very few fighters who always fought the best

Oscar lost worse to Sturm than he did to Mayweather. It just goes to show you that a top 10 middleweight can beat a p4p elite fighter at 147 easily.

According to your theory, they should, 13 lb difference.

Maybe De La Hoya-Quartey is one of those fights that you have to watch really closely, like Mayweather-Castillo I.

Back when I scored fights while watching them, I always came up with 114-112 for Mayweather over Castillo, but when I rewatched it a while ago, and didn't score it (I refuse to do so now), it looked like Castillo had the clear advantage. I didn't score De La Hoya-Quartey, but Quartey definately looked like he was winning a lot of the rounds, and overall, it looked like he was doing better (minus to 12th round, which was just horrible for him. I'm shocked that fight wasn't stopped).
