    For all those who say Oscar was the one that kept boxing afloat, no

    It was more like Oscar kept himself afloat. If Oscar's popularity really had an impact on boxing, then why is boxing having issues with attracting new fans? If anything boxing has turned away fans.

    I'm not saying all the blame goes to him, but again, another undeserved credit goes to Joto.

    Oscar's popularity had no trickle down effect, unless the fighter was fighting him. Otherwise, boxing continues to struggle.

      Boxings long running problems are not DLHs fault. They were there before he came along and they will be there after he leaves. Dont really get hte point you were trying to make, probably because thier was none.

        WTF, I'm not really sure what you're trying to imply. But, since you mentioned his name. Tiger is actually the opposite of Joto. When Tiger broke through the pro golf scene. Tiger broke color barriers, Tiger influenced people who otherwise wouldn't even have bothered to pick up a golf club. Sales picked up for golf equipment. Tiger not only impacted N. America but the world, bro.

          Re-read what I said. Thank you.

          And the reason for making this thread is simply a response to the Joto n*t lickers who say if it wasn't for Joto boxing would be dead. Umm, I think PAC has something to say about that.

                    Haha, I thought I'd bring this thread back up. Since the overrated/overhyped one is finally gone. Good Riddance.
