Why is Oscar so underated on here?

OH SHIT JRO

Oscar was a good fighter, a HOF level fighter, but not an ATG level fighter.

And that's that.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Oscar was a GREAT fighter, definitely HOF material. His boxing was superb and he was the face of boxing for his time.

I think people hate on him because they are a little jealous of Oscar, it's weird. Whenever they see a young, good looking kid do well, they want to see him fail, it's human nature.

He may not be on the all time list but I definitely think he is one of the best boxers of our time and propelled boxing to the main stream with his looks and personality.

i dont know if you already moved away from socal when he was first coming up but the over exposure, shove-down-your-thoat promotional blitz turned this fight fan off...

then the Ruelas (big Rafa fan) happened and i disliked him even more...after then the 2nd JCC fight i just hated the **** out of him

i only rooted for Oscar twice..the Olympics and the Vargas fight

People who watched boxing back then rate him correctly. It's noobs who overrated him. People who go to boxrec and are impressed by familiar names.

Sorry but i've followed boxing for quite some time my friend

Im sorry if Oscar isn't an atg then neither is Floyd or Manny.

[SincereDaGreat]

No shame but he barely barely barely got by Ike Quartay...if it wasnt for that last rd KD!! I liked ODLH but he lost his most significant fights...too much money and stardom got to him IMO!!

[Cotto's Father]

Sorry but Oscar is great just not ATG and Manny and Floyd are ATG's......that's a no brainer.

neither's resume is better than Oscars and neither had more title defenses,Oscar has 2 atg's on his reusme(Whitaker,Chavez)

[pugilistprophet1994]

Dudes one of the greatest, honestly I don't think any boxer NOW in the welterweight division could beat the Oscar from 96-04. Also he won 6 Titles in 6 different weight classes that unlike Pacquiao were not cheap catch-weight fights. He also beat 17 world champions.

If you did you would rate him correctly. Calling him an ATG, makes me think that you weren't really following it back then.

Wait is this LarryX? Because, if so that would explain your comment

People say he beat over the hill fighters yet give Manny and Floyd credit for beating Mosley and Oscar himself when they where over the hill,makes's 0 sense

But there's a difference...

Floyd fought the "over the hill" Mosley that beat Margarito and the "over the hill" ODLH that beat Mayorga.

I don't think Mosley or ODLH were coming off wins when they faced Manny.

My point is, it's not so much an "over the hill" thing with Manny. It's more of a fighter not having confidence since they're coming off a loss.
