    My sweetest Oscar moment was him shutting up Fernando Vargas. Few remember how close that fight was going into the championship rounds and Oscar needing them. He didn't allow it to go to the scorecards. That, to me, was his defining moment.

      Actually, I'm gonna roll with that one. That was his best, most decisive win. Good call bro.

                Good ideas. I will be interested in what people say about Sweet Pea's career.

                  Vargas... by far his biggest win without any controversy surrounding it.

                  Trinidad... he showed that Trinidad was far from unbeatable.

                  Mosley II... redeemed in every way except by the judges.

                  Mayorga... the only man to **** someone on live TV and not go to jail.

                  He has quite a few that make you realize that he does belong in the elite class even with so many losses and decisions that make you go "Hmmm..."

                    Against Trindad he did more harm than he did good to his career. Even when he showed that Tito was touchable, he also showed how little he himself liked to be touched. That didn't sit well with alot of people..

                      The Vargas fight will probably be his most defining victory but when people talk about DLH, they mainly talk about the Trinidad fight.
