I remember…DLH priced himself out….he made the purse split even MORE in his favor when giving the offer…for someone who got ‘robbed’ there sure wasn’t much concession in tryin to redeem himself

EXACTLY. good point K+

Yes, not to mention refusing to show up for press conferences. While Tito moved up and fought the best at 154, Oscar fought some dude named Coley. Then he fought a Shane Mosley who everyone ridiculed him for fighting because he refused to fight Tito again or anyone at 154 but wanted a lightweight (funny how history repeats itself, right?).

But he won at least 7 or 8 rounds. Which means he won the fight.

and......you still defend the sell-out!

The guy changed boxing. He was HUGE draw, bigger than anyone else in boxing right now.

He fought EVERYBODY, won some and lost some, but that's what happens when you fight EVERYONE!

I mean come one, try and find me someone even close to fighting the likes of people like Manny Pacquiao to Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Ike Quartey, Felx Trinidad, Pernell Whitaker, Floyd Mayweather, Julio Cesar Chavez, and the list goes on.

Won world titles in 6 weight divisions.

I didn't say that he didn't fight everybody...All I said is he lost most of his fights to top competition. That is NOT ATG worthy!

He didn't lose "most"... He lost some (a couple towards the twilight of his career and one (or two) where he overstretched himself weight-wise)

**** happens when you consistently fight boxers of that standard. No one's claiming he's Sugar Ray Robinson but to downplay his resume and career is ludicrous IMO...

Oscar had a great career whatever way you look at it. Yes, great

i remembered i had oscar winning in a close close fight but i didn't enjoy what he did in the later rounds. i was like wtf u doin oscar? he could have won it cleanly if he didnt 'run', but i didnt have any problems w/ tito winning it.

[PittyPat]

Should've been 118-110 against Tito, motherfuckers.

What?

I don’t care if you’ve got Arum in your corner…IF you are in a superfight in Vegas against a Don King fighter, you better not take ANY chances
