Oscar beats all of them! At the very least by Controversial Decisions
We talking about Oscar the Boxer, not Oscar the Promoter...you guys better remember who Oscar was! Oscar was a very good Boxer, had a excellent Jab, had a GREAT Chin, masterful at Parrying Punches/Catch And Shoot
Oscar was in a STRONG ERA so yeah he took some loses and had some controversial wins BUT he was a GREAT Boxer make no mistake about that!
Oscar would lose at least two of those matchups. While being better than average, Oscar was never an ELITE fighter! He's more distinguished as a promoter. Oscar had a career record something like 39-6, with each loss coming when he stepped up against an ELITE fighter. Look at his losses ; Trinidad, Mosley (2), Mayweather, Hopkins, and Pacquiao. IMO, like I said, I thought he was very good, but not ELITE.

Let’s break down those losses. He was robbed in one fight against Mosley. I felt he beat Floyd 115-113–and that is past prime Oscar, he had Tito beat but chose the wrong strategy in the closing rounds, and he was washed up against a prime Pacquiao. Hopkins was a large MW, much bigger than Oscar. He was elite in his prime, no doubt.

The weight killed Oscar against Manny, if the fight was at 154 it would have been an entirely different fight where Oscar is strong and has resistance, going from being 20lb heaver than Manny on fight night , to what happened a 2lb lighter than Manny fighter,.
It amazes me the way Manny fans side step the dead man walking that was Oscar, worst case in history of a drained fighter in such a big fight , Dawson Ward runs second followed by Leonard Lalonde.
The 163 lb version of Oscar that Floyd sc****d by would have beat Manny in my view.
