    PBF is a 5 weight belt holder and has beaten every opponent including Oscar De La Hoya. He may or may not come back next year and face Pacquaio, Hatton or another. However Oscar can always claim that he held belts in 6 divisions, even though some of which is tenuous e.g. WBO titles at super feather and middle.

    If PBF is the P4P could he do better than Oscar up at middle?

    My view is that he would equal Oscar's feat, but no better it :-

    Felix Sturm - win points
    Arthur Abraham & Kelly Pavlik - points defeats, unless both are tight at the weight and he was to use his speed and movement, but he would find either too powerful

    DLH is garbage so lets get something straight. he shouldnt have been a 6 weight class champ because he lost to Strum. so if ayweather would've fought Strum and won he would have passed DLH because he actually beat him, not lose 8 to 4 like DLH.

    In a recent magazine interview, will have to dig up which to be sure, but ODH says himself that Sturm really won that fight and was robbed.:deal

    Yeah, he says in his book he leaned over and told Sturm he won after the fight.

    Oscar had the balls to step out of his weight class at take on middle weights. He was found wanting against Hopkins, but go the decision over Sturm. This was no worse than the robberies he had against Mosley. I lose no sleep over a German getting the wrong end of decision. Remember Sven Otke made a career on dodgy decisions before retiring unbeaten.

    Oscar was always willing to take risks outside his comfort zone. His first world title was a weight below his Olympic weight, and against Pacman he took huge risks which did not come off.

    What risks has PBF made?
