He always did that. And these Johnny Come Lately fans wanna pretend that's not the case because their eyeballs turn into hearts when they look at his resume on boxrec. Don't get me wrong, Oscar is a HOF'er. But ATG? Don't make me laugh. Oscar was the master at fighting top guys at their worst.
Mosley was a career lightweight and a huge underdog. Oscar was expected to KO him. Please note he took this fight while avoiding rematches and matches versus other welters and super welters.
When he fought Mosley the second time, Shane hadn't won a fight in a couple years.
Vargas hadn't looked good in years either--ruined by the Tito fight.
Heck, he did the same thing to Manny except (surprise!), jokes on you! The little guy moved up to 147 quite fine and wiped his ass with the canvas.
dlh...stellar resume...1st ballot hof and top 100 atg in my book...his signature wins against whitaker, quartey, and vargas he earned those wins...he gave hopkins all sorts of problems by going to the body in the early rounds, until hopkins just bowled him over because he was just bigger....if he went all out against trinidad the way he went after quartey, he would have won that fight easy...mayweather and shane were just better men, but mayweather wouldn't have had it so easy in his days @ 135...pacquiao he was just dead...he'll be underrated my many, but gets my respect...
The fact is he didn't go all out against Trinidad. You can't credit him for something he didn't do. And Mayweather wasn't fighting at his best weight either.

i didn't credit him for not going all out against trinidad, and he was past his best against fmj, and still didn't do that bad...
You gave his resume an A and claimed "they don't make them like Oscar anymore".That speaks for itself.
I meant fighters these days don't fight the best and instead fight weak opposition and try to sue one another to avoid fights. Oscar fought the best all the way to the end! Never called anyone an ATG, but Oscar is a first ballot HOF'er and top 100 ATG in my book.

Lol. You dont think hopkins is atg but you think those signature wins and allegedly giving hopkins trouble make him atg?
Inacive Quartey, half dead vargas, and controversial on his way out sweet pea.

Who else dO you have atg top 100 since 1990?
Lol
lmao...i know who i don't have on a top 100 atg list...
hopkins fighting smaller men would never make any atg list of mine...and lets not start ringing up excuses, because hopkins and his excuse making machine leads the pack...

Wait a minute...So you gave Floyd Jr, Pacquiao and Roy Jones resumes I think B- to B+ for those 3. But, you're giving Oscar an A- or an A?
And, no we don't know if Shane was on PED's the first fight we don't. We know he was on it for the 2nd fight but not the first. What we do know is that Oscar has yet signed the waiver. So we don't know what he was on either.
Oscar does not have a better resume than Floyd, or Pac, or Roy. He just doesn't.
for all we know some ********** blew coke up his a55 right before the fight.
really?...start a hopkins resume thread and lets count how many smaller men, pointless rematches, and excuses for losing pop up...i got the popcorn and the shlitz on standby
