    Oscar gets underrated from atg standpoint. How would he fair against the top guys from 135 to 154?

    Fishnets was an overrated fighter. Not saying he was bad, just really overrated by many.

    He would be right in the mix with today’s best but would get defeated by a couple of them. Especially if he decided to venture up to 160 like he did with Hopkins :)

    Dont see anyone beating him. I think welterweight and Light MW level has gone down since the days of ODLH, Trinidad, Mosley, Vargas etc. Mayweather and Pac wouldnt beat a prime ODLH at welterweight. I know ima get a lot of s*it for my opinion bug bring it

    True, but the DLH of the Vargas and Mayweather fight is better than any current 154 fighter right now..
