    He's old school in that he fought everyone, but that doesn't also mean it immediately equals ATG. Definitely HOF, but not ATG. Some might also question if he was one dimensional with only a left hook. Granted I think Tito could be said the same. Yet both were exposed by BHOP, lol.

    Who cares though. Regardless of ODLH or Tito being possibly 1 dimensional, they were hella entertaining to watch. I'd watch ODLH or Tito 10x over a BHOP fight, lol.

        By the way, was there a reason why Kostya Tszyu and Oscar De La Hoya never got to fight? Did they fought at a different divisions at the time they were contending?

          Quartey
          Mosley 2
          Tito
          Pernell

          Everyone has their opinions, but you could argue Oscar won them all. Not even including his other quality wins, that's a damn good resume.

            Oscar's losses were more entertaining than Hopkins biggest wins.

              That's what I'm saying. You can say BHOP is the better fighter all day, but I would rather be watching ODLH fights all day long than a single BHOP fight, lol.

                If Crawford is an ATG, so is Oscar

                  Oh, does Crawford check the boxes and apply as one if he retired right now? (Not that he will I mean)

                  Crawford has wins over Yuriorkis Gamboa, Viktor Postol, Jeff Horn, Mean Machine, Shawn Porter and Errol Spence so far. Not sure who else is a noteworthy win.

                    Fundamentally and discipline wise, Bernard may be a little better than Oscar, but I thought Oscar was outboxing Bernard up to the ko.

                      This is one of those examples where if fighter A was naturally the same size as fighter B, fighter A would win.
