    Got robbed against Tito, and won the second fight with Mosely although it doesn't reach robbery standards. ODLH had huge balls, but a hater is always gonna hate, what can you do?

    Possibly but he did fight many great fighters. Chavez, Molina, Hernandez, Vargas, Sturm, Camacho, Campos, Gonzalez, Ruelas, Mayorga, Bredhal, Lejia, Mosely, Trinidad, Hopkins, Quartey, Paquiao, Whitaker and Mayweather.

    How so? It's Sturm's own fault he lost that fight. He had a gassed ODLH in front of him and he couldn't even be bothered to do anything more than throw one jab at a time all night long. Oscar dug deep, threw his punches, scored more points and won that fight.

    If you're looking at someone to blame for Sturm losing that fight, look at Felix Sturm. If he would have got off his ass and fought like he WANTED to win that fight, he would have.

    I gave Vargas every close round and scored a draw but inky deserved the decision.

    Oscar fought Quartey when nobody else would. He beat the crap out of Tito only to be cheated by the judges, landed over 100 more punches than Tito, bloodied him, but Don Kings judges. Oscar fought just about everyone.
