I Just Realised Something About Oscar We Don't Give Him Credit For

[Ace R.]

Dude had an excellent chin. He gets a lot of crap on here but he was great in his time.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

Not only did he take a great shot, he was never cut. Not that I can remember.

Whitaker cut him (under the eye, on a butt).

[Doctor_Tenma]

Was Oscar ever knocked down aside from the Hopkins fight?

Whitaker knocked him down, but it was more due to Oscar being off balance.

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

He did had a good chin, but he didn't face too many great punchers. What happen when he fought Tito? He ran when he tasted Tito's power.

Tired of this myth. Oscar ran when he was told to run. Before that, he boxed.


How many Tito hooks is a guy supposed to eat before he's proven he has a chin, anyway? Tito hit supernaturally hard.

Incidentally, there's no guarantee that Trinidad would eat many flush Oscar hooks, either, and his fanboys are always mounting defences of his punch-resistance. But Oscar never got dropped as often as that guy.


Oscar's chin is/was highly legit.

doesnt matter if its photochopped or not, the entertainment value does not diminish

It sure does, because ****s like you have run it into the ground.

He also had a laser like jab to go along with a great chin and awesome left hook, the right hand left a lot to be desired but it wasn't horrible.

Watch the 8th round of DLH-Vargas...it was a DLH right hand festival. Vargas looked lost and confused. Oscar's right hand was ok.

Yeah like I said, it wasn't horrible but I felt he couldv'e worked on it more and would've been a more complete boxer. I don't recall but was Predator Sr training him for that fight? He looked pretty silly trying to shoulder roll.

I knew that this form was about Oscar's chin before I opened it. Ya talk about Margarito's chin, but Oscar took Mosley and Pacquiao's punches waaaay better than Tony. Oscar has been down but they all look like flash kd's to me. Never really seen him wobbled badly. Mosley has been knocked out on his feet and people always say he has a great chin. Oscar's chin was crazy.

Oscar's chin> Margo. No doubt...

Anyone who can go toe to toe with a prime Mosley for 12 rounds like in their first fight has a superb chin.
