    He has a good resume.

    He's Not an ATG, though.

    The idea that he 'fought everyone' seperates the people who followed his career with the one's that didn't.

    And, just because his competition was good, doesn't add to his resume. Loss's don't go onto your resume, your wins do.

    Otherwise Oakland Billy Smith would be a Top 10 ATG.

      No, absolutely not. Hell the Whitaker and Quartey fights were probably wider in their favor than what Oscar Tito was.

      The comments you have said in this thread along with your thread comparing Tito and Bute in anyway makes me come to the conclusion that you're a moron.

        Dude fought everybody in the ring and not in court, unlike other "P4P" fighters.

        Fought the best all the way to the tail end of his career. They don't make em like that anymore.
        They don't make him like how?

          ODH is only an ATG in the sense he brought new fans to the sport and made serious money when he was the "face of boxing". He's not an ATG fighter but his weigh ins had more fans in attendance then some ATG's fights.

            I'd rate his resume a 9. Even though he lost all his big fights and did cherrypick at times, and get gift decisions. He's still the PPV King of Boxing.
            How is that relevant?

            Also considering you gave him a 9, I'd like to know what you consider a 10.

              His rating system must be 1-15, 1-20. PPV King...smh.

                Yes he's an ATG draw not an ATG fighter. Don't care in what sense you try to use he's not an ATG fighter.

                  This logic will put Anna Kournikova on the ATG list of women tennis players.

                    Whitaker was not number 1 p4p when he fought Oscar. He wasn't even the best in the division at that point.

                      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...
