No fighter in the history of boxing has faced as good of competition as Oscar.

I'll admit I don't know some of those guys as well as others might but its hard to imagine they were up there with guys like Chavez, Whitaker, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Hopkins, and Trinidad.

hagler is considered by a lot of people as #1 middleweight of all time.

leonard is considered by a lot of people as #2 behind only robinson at welterweight all time.

duran himself is considered by a lot of people as the #1 lightweight of all time.

we're not talking about mere HOFers here. we're talking about all time greats. top all time greats.

[I] Greb’s record is virtually unbelievable. How many fighters can claim to have a record like that of Harry Greb? He defeated 18 men who held, had held, or would hold world championships,

By today standards PAC and Floyd has defeated only around 14 men.

Don't forget Tim Littles and "Prince" Charles Williams who were both pretty handy fighters.

****! Think about this; Ernesto Marcel was a HOF 126 pound champ, who beat HOFers like Arguello, Serrano etc and Duran beat him in the late 60's from memory and then you have a guy like Jorge Castro, who was a huge MW champ, that fought up to 200 pounds for titles, and that beat great champions like John David Jackson, Reggie Johnson, among many, many others etc and Duran beat him in the late nineties at 168! Just think about that for a minute.

Im not aware of that Thanks!!


I only remember Barkley @160 because of their great fight. green

You don't need to imagine it. They were.
