    Just doesnt deserve hype and especially money he has earned. what made oscar boxings poster boy? He is like soccer's beckham. solid great player, but not an all time great.

    I am not denying oscar was a great fighter. But just not at great as some like to think.

    guy got boxing lesson from felix sturm.

    lost a close one to whitaker, but still clear.

    and I believe quartay edged him aswell.. seriously aside from that look at the dudes resume..

    no hate, just bein real.

      Oscar is a Hall of Famer...who else can generate those numbers in PPV sales?? Nobody!

      Even after he lost people did not lose one bit of interest in him...that right there says alot.

        A prime Oscar would have beaten a prime Mayweather. Too bad a prime mayweather met an older Oscar and still only took an SD.

          Oscar was never the same fighter after he fought Tito, same as Vargas. He was the **** thou back then.

              he lost to whitaker, IMO, & Quartey, & Sturm. A good fighter but great I disagree with. He mastered the art of dramatics in the ring looking to steal rds with 10 sec shoeshines after a whole rd of nothing. He did get robbed against Tito in his best 7rd performance of his life. But as usual he came up short.

                i love the fight where he punches vargas a few times in the stomach and then to the face after which vargas stumbles back. i had a gif of that a while back but lost it.

                  Are you kidding me?? He schooled Trinidad, Oscar made him look like a chump. That is until he listened to Clancy and tried to protect his win by coasting the last rounds.
