Yeah Oscar was scared of Tszyu but not scared to fight Bhop at middle.

Im with you it was a timing issue more than anything

Look maybe not scared.but he never beat great top level opposition since his first loss to mosely. lost to mosely twice,trinadad,hopkins,mayweather,manny i wont count because oscar was shot bye then,he got a gift against sturm. from that first lose to moesly he beat,gatti,javier castillejo,fernando vargas,forbes good fighters but great i think not.if sturm beat him kostya wld have done a number on him imo. the 3 guy's they both fought gonzales, ruelas & leija oscar beat them but two of them got there carreres ended by kostya gonzales never recovered after that beating ever. same as ruelas & when kostya fought leija he one even tho he was under done & out of shape. If u have a look at the gonales fight even the comentators were saying no 1 had made gonzales look this helpless & handeled him that easy they were saying not even oscar cld do this to him the 1 sided beating of the year winner. This is why imo oscar wld have lost to kostya because oscar alway's come up short when he fought great fighters. cheers i do respect your opinons tho.

oscars losses to trinidad and mosley (second fight) were both horrible decisions. oscard fought and beat better competition that tszyu

I thought Kostya was on track to fight Oscar but the loss to Phillips derailled those plans. Mosley went for the super fight with Oscar & jumped from 135 to 147 to do it. The rest is history. I think its utter rubbish to think anyone was scared to fight Kostya, just bigger $$$ fights were there to be made at the time & I think the loss to Phillips did tarnish Kostya's rep a little at the time. His last years of inactivity due to injury certainly didn't do him any favours.

The trinidad decision was blatant robbery & although the 2nd Mosley fight was close I still think Oscar deserved the nod.

I think it is a 50/50 fight with Tzsyu and ODH, Mosley or trinidad, If i had a gun to my head i would go slightly with Tzsyu in each fight but it could have gone either way, I also think he was a great fighter who has a pretty good resume but not great missing the 3 above

Ridiculous post. We all know Oscar beat Tito and Mosely in their 2nd fight aswell as a prime Vargas at 154.

Here's one for ya. Tzsyu got beatan down and stopped by Vince frickin Phillips IN HIS PRIME.
