    Gatti did hit Oscar a lot more clearly than Tito did though, even if it was a one sided fight. Gatti seemed like if he knew he would only win that fight by landed the big one, and he sure did try.

    To be fair to Oscar, all of the fighters he chose as having the best specific attributes do fit the bill very well. The only dodgy one is Gatti for biggest puncher and that's probably ODLH's way of paying respect. I think people are trying to look too much into this one.

    Easy to understand why he didn't mention Mayweather: in every category where Mayweather could've been named, he picked Pernell Whitaker instead. Because Whitaker was just a bit better at everything than Mayweather. Yes, even a somewhat faded Whitaker.

    I hAD dlh Beating mosley in fight 2. if mosley was juiced dlh should get both victories. dlh was the first to bust up tito then run i can name many pure boxers who ran more than dlh did in those last few rounds. yet he beat on an aging chavez that chavez was not close to his glory days. on hops he had no buzz in therewith a big guy even though i believe dlh took a dive. if he played his cards right dlh could of been one of the top 5 greatest warriors of all time. smart bussiness guy.

    He's right about Whitaker. Man could he turn his man. Watch the Whitaker Chavez fight, Chavez is doing pirouettes

    fastest hands to Manny Pac? Take that joy boys and fans of judah who think Judah as faster hands than pac EVEN though Judah was not worthy enough to fight ODLH.

    You have to take your hat off to Oscar he never sidestepped anyone.
    He was a fighters fighter. But he never beat Pernell.

    Seems like whatever Oscar says, there is always someone who wants to take issue with it :roll:
