Is not necessary the more famous person gets the better odd. I mean I can give you examples where that wasn't the case.
Oscar was the favorite because it was seen as a mismatch in the first Mosley fight. Again Shane hadn't looked impressive at WW up to that point.
And, Mosley had the performance of his career up to that point and really all the way up to the Margarito fight. Which is why it was considered a big upset at the time.
But, Quartey had slowed down. And, was coming off the longest layoff of his career. And, you know damn well that affected Quartey in a negative way.
More important than who is when...
Oscar did an awesome job at fighting big names. When they were seen at not being at their best.
When did he finally have a rematch with Mosley? When Mosley lost back-to-back against Forrest and look like blah against Marquez at 154....Just another example of the more important than who is when...And, how opportunistic Oscar was. But, for some reason he gets a pass.
And, I actually know why he gets the pass unlike Floyd and Pac. Because, he wasn't on their level. Hence why both Floyd and Pac are held to a higher standard.
I just wish people would stop acting like he was some kind of great fighter that fought everybody at their best. When in fact he was quite the opportunistic cherry pick. Now of course he had some fights. Where he actually fought the best at their best. But, it wasn't as often as people make it out to be.
