    Disputed loss to shane mosley, TKO Gatti, Castillejo, TKO Fernando Vargas, TKO Campas, TKO Mayorga.

    That doesn't sound THAT great but looking at the top 10 JM well, #4 sounds about right. (i missed mosley by mistake). Here is the rings top 10 for JW:

    1. Winky
    2. Trinidad
    3. Mosley
    4. Oscar
    5. Vargas
    6. Sergei Dzindziruk
    7. Daniel Santos
    8. Kassim Ouma
    9. Vernon Forrest
    10. Cory Spinks
    You act like Shane Mosley was some star at 154 so the fact that Oscar lost a disputed decision to him means something. Newsflash, Shane Mosley did next to nothing at 154.

    2. The Gatti win meant SQUAT and was at 147, not 154.

    3. Castillejo? Didn't I just say don't tell me about some chump he beat for a title?

    4. Campas? Campas? Lord, have mercy. Come on NATAS, I thought you followed the sport back then.

        Welterweight is easily (like it or not) Antonio Margarito.

            I don't have a top ten for JMW. But I'll do one for every weight class. But the top junior middle for the decade is easily Winky. Hell, I'd put Tito ahead of DLH for 154 for the past decade.

              Maybe it has to be Roy because who are the other options? It feels wrong to call Tarver light heavy of the decade on the sole merit of beating a drained and faded version of Roy. Dawson maybe but what has he really done at light heavy except beating Tarver and Johnson, Roy beat Tarver to...

              You could make a case for Dawson as well. Johnson and Tarver (X2), Harding, and Adamek were as strong a run as Jones in the 00-03 at 75. I think those two could easily have a case for 1-2, though Tarver is in the mix too because he really had a strong run from 00-04.

                  It's really hard to list them all because some divisions were in a state on flux for the past 10 years without a clear leader. Only a few divisions have clear cut guys who were ahead of the pack.

                    tito and winky were ahead of oscar. didn't you see the list I typed out? 1.winky, 2.tito, 3.shane, then 4.oscar.

                    Look at the top 10 i posted. I don't see how oscar doesn't fit right in the middle of those named fighters.

                      Honestly, you could put a bunch of people ahead of Oscar. Doesn't necessarily mean they're good but they just did more at 154. ****, you could put Kassim Ouma ahead of him. I'd have to sit down and take a look but Shane and Oscar aren't top five at 154. They're just nice names who had their fights showcased.
