    Lol, yes fishnets was in bigger fights so that decides it. Marquez's win over Pacquiao is legendary though.

    I dont even think DLH enters the equation when discussing ATG fighters, JMM imo does.

    Not even close, JMM imo is by far the superior fighter.

    JMM is definitely the better boxer, but he's not like miles ahead of Oscar.

    :lol:

    ODLH has the better breadth in his resume and several key signature wins and competitive loses, JMM has the better single victory and decent breadth.

    oscar. more complete fighter. jmm struggled if his opponent didnt take the lead. oscar could beat you if you came at him or ran from him.

    A better counter puncher, sure. But a better all around boxer? Nah. Oscar would have beat JMM at 130 or 135 which are arguably his best weight classes.

    Oscar all the way. He's greater than JMM by a country miles.

    JMM has a breadth of strange sartorial choices but ODLH has the single weirdest item.

    I can't really judge though because if that girl wanted me in fishnets I'd be like "just call me tuna"

    I'd say Oscar would have beaten JMM decisively in any of their weight classes. Stylistically its a terrible match up for a counter punching Marquez. Oscar was basically a pure boxer: great jab, nice footwork, mean left-hook. Their physical sizes would also have greatly benefited Oscar's style.

    "Better" and "greater" are two different things, people are constantly confusing the two in here.

    Marquez win over prime Pacquiao is better than any of DLH wins.
