    I never get the nonsense of Oscar beat Floyd? He didn't it was 4-4 after 8 and 8-4 after 12. If they rematched would be 10-2, 11-1, 12-0 type fight. levels. #tbe

      Oscar was a good fighter and he was a good looking that's what got him far. I was never a fan of his, and he did beat Trinidad.

        Always came up short against legitimate world level compeititors and got his ass beat 6 times.

        When you take into account his many gift decisions his L's would be double figures.

        His biggest achievement was sharing a ring with TBE.
        Your right. I think Oscar's best win was Ike "Bazooka" Quartey & even that was close. I might have to watch that one again.

        I might have to check out the Tito fight too cuz I had Oscar winning but he gave away too many rounds.

              Bottom line is though, Oscar was not overrated.
              Cut it out dude, that fight wasn't close. T.B.E. for a reason.

                his 1st 2 losses was to trinidad and shane mosley.... nothing the shame there

                and his last 4 losses came towards the end of his career almost

                so you probably think that sugar ray robinson ****** cuz he lost 19 fights
                You must of forgot Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker....

                    Shut the *** up please lol

                    I saw this fight two weeks ago on replay on DAZN and saw it live back in the day.

                    Pernell looked amazing at being slick defensively but offered NOTHING on offense.

                    He thought he was so slick avoiding punches, but didn't dare exchange and didn't offer any sort of offense while Oscar was up his ass for 11 of the 12 rounds.

                    Let's be real here, you think he won because he's black and because you were impressed at how he maneuvered out of trouble without getting tagged.

                    Oscar was up his ass all fight, chasing and tagging while Pernall was in love with himself avoiding punches.

                      Oscar got his ass beat six times? He lost six times and got his ass beat once.
