In Oscars resume:

When he stepped up and fought the very best, the elite, he lost.
0 and 5 against them.
In his entire career he never ever unified a title.... NOT ONE!
In 90% of his wins he was the heavier fighter with his opponents stepping up in weight class.
Some of his titles are somewhat bogus ... WBO against Bredhal and the midget Paez.
A relative unknown fighter who was barely top 10 if at all, Sturm, took Oscar to school exposing Oscar as having very little defense against the jab.
Went down from a body tap from Hopkins and stayed down that will always be questioned.
Has always had a problem going the distance, gassing out after 8 or 9 rounds.
Had a brilliant manager in Arum who very carefully handpicked oponents in his earlier career, fighting fighters who were on the down side of their careers or Tito's leftovers.
Had a great career against B and C rated fighters but could not win or dominate the elite class A guys.
ATG ..... No. Very good fighter .... yes.

I wish most top fighters would seek to fight half of the level of competition that Oscar fought.:good
