    Oscar's best chance would be at 135.

    Disagree. Oscar ar 140, 147, and 154 would be a whole different animal.compared to who Crawford faces

    I find this an interesting fight to pick. I like Crawford's ability to fight out of both stances matched with punch accuracy. Oscar's weaker right hand is a liability for me in this type of fight. Still Oscar is levels above anyone Crawford fought and hits hard. Oscar also struggles to go the full 12 rounds

    he did go 12 well vs Vargas and Quartey but struggled to go 12 and faded vs Trinidad, Mosely, and Mayweather which cost him in all 3 fights.

    Recency bias. It's true that DLH faded vs. stamina king PBF (shoulders got sore too), but he did just fine vs. EPOsley (probably on it in both fights) so I'd say DLH was an excellent 12 rounder just Shame had that Victor Conte Sugar Rush. Absolute travesty how the 2nd result still holds.

    Oscar royally f'd up vs. Trinidad: he thought he'd won 7 rounds and took the foot off. You don't ever do that, especially if Don King is involved. His loss. Still won vs Tito & Mosley II IMO and no issues in the 12th.

    what about his lack of a great right hand? Or am I being unfair with this point? I think Oscar needs more than a jab and left hook to beat Crawford

    Controversial opinion: The Pernell Oscar fought is better than Crawford at 147

    I think Oscar wins, near 50-50 though

    I favour Oscar more battle tested against quality opposition
