    How did you score Chavez/Whittaker? As for Tito and ODLH, Tito won 4 rounds max no matter how you look at it, in fact i gave him 3.

    Oscar does have a great resume. Top 30 ATG definitely.

    :good Alright i didnt know you thought that high of Oscar. I usually get blasted when i rate him that high(by ESB) however i stick to my bones, he was a brilliant fighter and one of the best of his generation. I get a littled pissed when i see some of these clowns rank him near the bottom 100.

    People have their own bias and act like their view is the right one all the time. Clearly it shows you're a big oscar fan by giving him both of those fights by that big of a margin. So your loyalty towards oscar is blinding you badly when you score fights and will give him every close round.

    :hat

    U need to go back to learn how to score a fight, specially when u gave DLH a margin of +4 points in the Trinidad fight! Anyways, thank God u were not a judge in that fight.... btw, nobody who runs for the last 4 rds. of a fight with lots of the first 8 rds. being close, deserves the W.;)... not to mention Oscar got his chance to avenge it but didn't want any part of it & used the good ol' excuse of "pricing himself out" when it was clearly stated that if Tito won, then the purses in the contract would be reversed in a second match, & justly so!

    I never said nothing of that nature directed at El B Pop.

    I said,give Oscar some credit for moving up from 130 and taking on the big guns at 160lbs like you do for Manny will you "PEEPS" (People).;)

    i judge it on performance.

    So you can lose and still go as an ATG. Early De lah Hoya was a great fighter.

    He ets underrated due to him being a big global star. but you can deny the guy would fight the best, took a lot of chances and had huge heart.

    I had both the Trinidad and the second fight with Mosley dead even (and I was rooting for Oscar). I accept that most people saw Oscar winning, but it doesn't make too much difference.

    I had Oscar winning against Whitaker and Quartey. He lost with a wide margin against Sturm.

    Just like your loyalty towards Tito :yep

    seriously, you're the last person who should be talking about other people being biased.

    I do consider them wins. DLH clearly won both fights in my opinion.

    ..and another biased Rican :yep

    the opinions of ricans about the Tito/Oscar fight, shouldnt be taken seriously since most if not all of them are all biased and in denial that their boy got his ears boxed off.

    I scored the Mosley rematch a draw. Tito to Oscar by 2 points.

    But you know, I score Sturm over Oscar by 2 point. Whitaker fight was a draw.

    And you also gotta consider Quartey

    Whitaker - Had DLH ahead by one point
    Quartey - Had it for DLH, 50/50 fight
    Sturm - Had it for Sturm clearly

    The first two mentioned can't be compared with DLH's rematch against Mosley and fight with Trinidad. The fight with Sturm can be compared with those two as robberies but the first two mentioned(Whitaker, Quartey) are close, tough competitive battles. Definitely not robberies and not close.
