While we all know that there are plenty of things post boxing that we can ridicule Oscar for...for those of us who got to sit through his prime we would rather see him box now than watch plenty of these new found divas go around. This wasnt a man who squabbled over money he wasn't prepared to earn. He had all the skills and showcased them against the best of his generation without marination. I can't recall a fighter he deliberately avoided and as such...if he were to come back and say he is going to fight genuine contenders then I would believe him...regardless of wether I think he can win or not. Funny thing is that much like Pac man and Tyson...Oscars value...even after all these years is still way higher than most of the fighters today. And they would all clamour for a piece of that pie.
