    If Oscar were in his prime now I think he would P4P number 1, or maybe just behind usyk

    Ryan Garcia isn't even in the same league as ODH. So, let me understand. You believe Tank would beat a prime ODH because Tank beat Ryan Garcia? That's the logic you want to employ in this conversation? I don't know how much you have seen of ODH, but go watch the man in his prime. 6 division champ, only surpassed by another great in 8 division champ, Manny Pacquiao. Followed by yet another great, 5 division champ Floyd Mayweather. That's the crowd ODH belongs to. And you bring up Ryan Garcia? Boy hush!!!

    The others like Loma saw what happened to Garcia and it affects them as does the highlight reel of Tank’s knockouts.

    I watched all of Oscar’s career I am not a fan. Typical flat track bully. Once the competition was stepped up his performance level dropped.

    That tends to happen when moving up in weight.

    No I am specifically referring to the level of competition not moving up in weight. In the early part of his career Bob Arum and the Top Rank matchmakers did not expose him. A perfect example is matching Oscar against Jimmy Bredhal for the WBO 130 pounds world title instead of trying to face the legendary Azumah Nelson because they were afraid what the again and powerful Nelson could have done to him. To be clear I am not blaming Oscar because once he broke away from Arum and Top Rank and partnered Richard Schafer he started taking more risky fights winning some and collecting losses. I know it may not be a popular opinion on this forum but Tank’s combination of power, speed, skills and ring generalship could do a number on Oscar. Now many on here may not like Tank but boxing is not a popularity contest.

    You´re complaining about Oscar fighting the likes of Bredhal at 20years old, Tank is already in his 30´s and still fighting the same level fighters.


    These two are not even in the same ballpark.

    Boxing is ¨not a popularity contest¨ but it´s also not rocket science.

    Well the problem is the other like Loma were calling Wahid out long before his silly fight with Garcia. They were calling him out since he won his title in 2017 (something Garcia is still yet to do).

    Stepped up competition? The bulk of his losses were to bonified ATG's. Pac, Mosely, Mayweather, Trinidad, Hopkins. There isn't too many fighters in the history of the sport that would keep their 0 against that group of guys. Tank hasn't come close to fighting an ATG. Tank hasn't even fought an Oba Carr level opponent yet. LOL

    I am giving proper perspective on Oscar. You simply hate Tank so admit it and check your conscience as to why.

    Why is Garcia silly. He has beaten up everyone he has fought except for Tank who has beaten many world champions. Everyone calls out Tank until they have to face him then they lose their pens or cojones. Where is Loma? We saw what Tank victim Garcia did to Haney. Tank told us what he would do to Garcia. He beats up world champions and undefeated fighters taking their 0’s.

    Was referring to his level of performance dipping against these guys not just the losses. Oba Carr was a very good fighter so why you feel the need to disparage him is beyond me. Maybe Tank is a future ATG.

    No, I like Tank, you´re simply talking out your ass.

    Quick example: Bringing up Azumah Nelson. Nelson lost to Leija-a fighter DLH destroyed- around the time Oscar got his first title.
    Azumah also lost to Hernandez, another fighter DLH demolished. That Nelson was past his prime and would have never beaten DLH.
    Try again.
