    I'd say Oscar. I clearly remember when Oscar was still prime, that all I can say wow after wow after hearing who he is fighting next..

    Meantime Jones was one of those fighters whom I usually say WTF?? after hearing who he is fighting next.

    Believe me Hoya every time I watch the fight I try to find a way to score it for Tito, or score it even, but I always have it for Oscar in the end. The first 8 rounds were as masterful as can be..Maybe the best 8 rounds of his career...followed by what might be the worst 4 rounds of his career.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Roy Jones is a Glass Jawed joke who handpicked 98% of his fights in his career. He refused to take risks would only fight on his terms. His whole career was smoke and mirrors he was a media creation by HBO.

    His resume is downright awful for the way he is talked about on here. His fans are some of the most delusional nuthuggers ever.

    With the amount of money that fight made I find it amazing that a rematch never took place..

    Like usual Rico, you take things to the extreme. But I think there is some truth in what your saying. Maybe. :D

    Jones jr has slightly less big names, but he won alot more meaningfull fights in my opinion. He has the edge over Hoya for sure.

    Are you ****ing kidding me? DLH and it's not remotely ****ing close. And I hate the *******. Resume's aren't about who won, it's about who they fought.

    When people say 'It's not even close', that usually means it is. As the poll would testify.

    I agree with what is said here which is why I can't vote in this poll.
