        oscar has a hell of a resume, he fought a lot of tough dudes when they were undefeated, fought for a world title in his 10th fight or something to that nature, and even in losses fought tough guys.

        one thing you can say is oscar never cherry picked, as far as i can see and remember........... oscar was and is a shrewd businessman and always looked to capitalize with big name fights...... props.


        oscar also had a awesome amateur career, 223-5, 163 ko's, thats a damn good record..........

          Chavez was an old man with like a 100 fights under his belt. I guess u can count Sweet Pea. Besides that his best wins are vs 'roided up Vargas and Ike Quartey. Felix Sturm whipped his ass 2 btw. Oscar got a gift decision.

            oscar cherrypicked.

            every big name does. it's because they get to choose who they want to fight because of the money and name they have.

            oscar has a great resume though.

                JCC x2, Gonzalez, Whitaker, Quartey, Trinidad, Mosley x 2, Gatti, Castillejo, Vargas, Sturm, Hopkins, Mayorga, Mayweather Jnr, Pacquaio.

                6 ATGs in that list (JCC, Pacquaio, Hopkins, Mayweather, Trinidad, Whitaker)

                And several hall of famers like Mosley and Gatti.

                  Honestly, Greb's record is incredible.

                  He literally fought 13 Hall of Famers.

                      Oscar doesnt even have the most impressive resume of his era. Pacquiao and Mosley both have better resumes
