    He beat A level top 3 p4p Whitaker. If you say Oscar got a gift win, well many say Trinidad got a gift win over Oscar. <<<So pick cause either way Oscar did beat an A level fighter.

    :lol:Watch Whitaker's fight prior to facing DLH. He got schooled for 10 rounds against ATG Hurtado, before landing a lucky shot and putting Hurtado away. :nut

    You cant tell me based on watching the Hurtado fight that Whitaker was legitly a p4p'er any longer.

    Wow so you based on that to show whitaker wasnt a top 3 p4p prior to facing oscar? Lol stfu. Every great fighters has bad nights it happen but the most important thing that fighter wins no matter what and whitaker did but win by tko in which whitaker wasnt even a big puncher lol. And in that fight whitaker was moving forward being the aggressor in which i dont understand that.

    Even the two fights prior to Hurtado, Whitaker was gifted a decision against Rivera, and won a close decision in a rematch.
    The signs of declline were already showing going into the Hurtado fight.

    Then check out Whitakers final fights after Hurtado?
    Starting with the DLH fight, Whitaker did'nt win any of them.
    If Whitaker had a bad night vs Hurtado, he had several before and after!

    This fight was BS. Another attempt by GBP to continue to hype Ginger.

    Another thing that people needs to understand (and Im not taking anything away from Lopez) is that he won based on a discualification, an injury discualification.

    In all reallity Ortiz was winning the fight until he got his **** craked and was unable to continue. That happens, its boxing. Cotto broke Maggalini's (SP?) jaw as well, and has happend 100s of times in boxing. But Ortiz was pounding on Lopez.

    We didnt need Josesito vs Canelo much less to get beaten like a heavy bag.

    BS fight.

    Whats crazy is that, people know that there were a total of THREE other fighters lined up before this, Ortiz, Williams, then Kirkland..... and that Lopez was fourth picked in a last minute replacement to a tv date that was already set so they could salvage the card, and that fact just gets totally ignored lol.

    I think they should have put Canelo in with K9 Bundrage instead of Lopez. At least K9 is a natural 154 pounder with some credible work to his name. In many ways K9 would have been the most accomplished fighter on Canelo's resume, while he wouldn't have offered up any more of a threat than Hatton, N'Dou, Cintron etc. It would have been minimal risk for considerable reward.

    As a few already said...what is the Prob? 1) The date was set for sometime. 2) 3 other fighters where set to fight Canelo first, but because of Money, Injuries, and a loss they where left in the weeds. 3) Lets be real, Lopez knew going in he was in for some SH**. But unlike other fighters he came as a pro and gave it his all. He knew the chance to win was going to be slim. I don't have a prob in how the Main Event went down. If Lopez was the first pick before anyone else, then Ya there wouldv'e been a prob. Lets not forget, this was a stacked card with some great action. So the fans that paid for thier ticket got something that you don't get much in boxing.

    Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda. GBP wanted Williams (accident), Kirkland (sued GBP to join 50c) and Ortiz (upset), the card was as good as it gets with all those names falling out, with Lopez being the only one available in the short period of time.

    How do you know Lopez didnt want the canelo fight though? Hes the one that beat Ortiz, shouldnt he have the chance at the biggest payday he will probably recieve in boxing for quite some time? Many many fighters take fights they know are tough to win for them for the payday that will put their personal life on another level. For all anyone knows he could have wanted the Canelo fight.

    Im not being a troll here :lol: Im curious as to your take.

    I like Josesito and I love how he comes to bang but No disrespect and Im not taking anything from Josesito's effort or heart agains Ortiz or Canelo but he didnt "beat" Ortiz. As a matter of fact Ortiz was winning the fight.

    Ortiz quit due to the injury: Discualification

    The fight was a ****ing disgrace. Canelo achieved nothing by beating the **** out of Lopez, it was a completely meaningless victory. He's not getting the experience needed fighting guys from his own division and when he does I hope he gets sparked out cold.
