    oscar got beat by sturm. i thought that then and i think that now. also remember that the hopkins fight was at a catchweight as a result of oscar looking terrible and flabby at 160 against sturm. the only impressive thing about the hopkins fight was hopkins proving a point and coming in at 156 which still boggles my mind almost as much as one of the judges having oscar up at the stoppage.

    i really don't see oscar having much success against any serviceable mw. may be harsh but be what it be. barkley beats him handily. i don't think it would be close and i think it would be painfully obvious after the first round that a beating was coming.

    Iran beats DLH in a brutal Barklificating manner.

    My gut tells me Barkley just has too great a natural size advantage.

    Same as the Hopkins fight, most likely. I wouldn't say Oscar would have no chance though.
