Oscar had a brief stint at 140, Kosta was beasting there... Was there ever discussions to make the fight??? Who would have.won????
Because Kosta got knocked out by Vince Phillips and that ruined the fight. Yes there was discussion and Oscar would have knocked him out at 140. Too much everything.
Ummm, i dunno eh, ummmm ya knowwww he maybe no es do it 'cause he scareded. ****, are you knew in this country or do you not know truancy is illegal? :-(
What?? Tszyu was merely a rookie in 96, then had his lights put out by Phillips, and went back to the drawing board for a couple years. Oscar was fighting P4P'ers by then.
Kostya getting KO'd by Phillips put the kabosh on the bout. Kostya had a couple of tuneup fights and the next time he had something like a bg time bout was when he beat Rafael Rueles in late 98. By that point Oscar had already moved to Welter and had held a title there for a year.
Oscar was great at 140. Too bad he was not as effective at 147 as at 140, he would have been top 5 welterweight of all time.
