    Oquendo has some good skills, he was unlucky in all of his 3 losses, he could have won them all. i remember his post fight interview after the Tua fight, he seemed like a really nice humble guy.

      Oquendo is a decent fighter but he is too average overall to actually be any thing other than a contender. Average everything, power, speed, chin etc... Not special.

        Isn't this the same guy that fought one of the worst fights of all times against John Ruiz? If yes, I hope he goes for another 2 year layoff.

          the HW division just got worse as this bum has re-entered the fray.

            He has an awkward, ugly style.
            Nice for him, that he's back. Just keep him off T.V., please.

              i always liked ol squinty eyes myself. he exposed etienne and was robbed against chris byrd. he was beating tua till he got caught. people are criticizing him for having a boring fight against john ruiz come on that's not even fair. the only real exciting fight i remember ruiz being in was him against tua hahahahaha.

                  So many people on here....throw the term "hate" around, far too much.

                  I don't think what I said, was "hating" on the guy.
                  He has a style that just doen't make for entertaining fights, nor does he possess the skills that make you say "damn, he's good"- those skills can make you watchable.
                  He can fight, & can be effective in his ways.....

                    i personally find him entertaining minus the ruiz fight although i was still watching the entire time hopeful for the end of the quiet man.

                    but i found a lot of matches entertaining that the public called boring like toney vs guinn and judah vs corley.
