What elite, prime fights were fought at the highest level by both fighters?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Oscar did NOT win that fight. Not even remotely close. It was a boring ass fight aside from spots in the 6th and 12th. The entire fight was Oscar getting tattooed with Quartey's jab.

That fight infuriates me both because people for only god knows why think it was a good fight, and people actually think Oscar won. It's insanity.

I think everyone with out bias agrees Quartey won.

He also lost to Sturm.

Those were TWO CLEAR losses.

Cotto--Margarito just pops into my head.

So did Hameed/Barrera and the DLH/Mosley fights

Another thing that bothers me, and since you're a P-Willy fan you probably know the Martinez fight inside and out so lemme ask you...

When you see talk about Martinez/Williams Round 1 as Round of the Year last year does that boggle your mind?

Literally two punches of note landed in that round....a big left hand from Martinez and the right hook that hurt Paul...that was it.

There were like 3 other rounds that could have been ROTY in that fight alone, the 4th and some of the later rounds.

I've just never quite understood that and I've seen it mentioned a lot.

It shows how good the memories are of many boxing fans. Someone actually ranked DLH-Quartey in the top 5 WW fights of the last 40 years.

I agree that Quartey should've gotten the nod. DLH closed strong, but spent too many rounds staring at Quartey and doing nothing. Quartey didn't do much either, but he was doing just enough to at least have won 7 rounds.

Merchant was interviewing DLH after the fight and commented that it was a good fight. DLH said something like "you really thought so?"

It was good enough due to the suspense factor while it happened live, but it has **** replay value due to the fact that such little action took place in 10 of the 12 rounds.

[STRUGG]

Who else fought him??? Trinidad didn't and neither did a lot of other top WWs.

well OSCAR was known......to give no rematches....................except for shane........we cold have had Tito v.s. oscar 2..............but Oscar punked out again..........................with quartey though..........i do wish tito fought him.......too

Man, Sturm got robbed ******. Oscar looked lost as hell when Felix switched to southpaw in the later rounds.

What was more of a nuisance to me is how people who have been following boxing for decades actually think there is a 9-9 round without a point deduction.

Max, you're a true boxing nerd, WTF is wrong with you?

Once again, I completely agree with you. I didn't think Round 1 was that great, tbh.

Lets not forget he also gave 85yr old JCC a rematch that he clearly deserved. Because, judging by the first fight JCC fought very competitive against Oscar

I don't know if this has been said before but Hamed-MAB
