Had Oscar won the fights he lost, would he be considered top 10 all time great?

    I really don't get into all time lists, but he definately would be amongst the most accomplished fighters of all time, and would have one of the best resumes.

    This was a topic last week and the answer is his record would be so staggering it would probably be scary to picture a fighter that good in our own time. Leave those legends to the past.

    Hell yeah he would have. That would have been an unbelievable resume. The funny thing is that he came pretty close in most of those fights as well.

    Yes.

    I'd go as far as saying he'd be easily be top 5 or 6. A resume of Whitaker, Hopkins, Chavez x 2, Mayweather, Trinidad, Mosley x 2, Quartey, Vargas, Hernandez, Ruelas, Gonzalez, Castillejo, and numerous other former champions would be damn impressive. Add that to world titles in 6 different weight classes and being the unified welterweight champion.

    I am still an Oscar fan because he did dare to be the greatest. Damn, he's even trying to take on the #1 P4P's #1 contender. It's this will to fight everybody that gave Oscar the HUGE sales others knock and Mayweather dreams of getting but by avoiding top challenges might never get. And don't bring up Hatton an DLH numbers cuz those numbers are ALL Hatton and DLH.

    Yeah, along with unified WW champion, he would have been undisputed MW champion as well.

    He may have been top 5, and in this time frame, a better resume than anyone post 1950 or so.

    I always find these questions pointless

    How would I rank if I didn't get KTFO by the first jab landed by those guys?

    I think he can enter the top 15 IF he beats Floyd in the rematch and Kos Cotto for his final Boxing match .
