Has Oscar fought the best opposition of any fighter ever?

DHL fought the best of his time at any weight he could reach. Few today can say that. I do not think one can say he ever dodged anyone.
Some of the wins and losses were conterversial close.
A couple not.
Even Sugar Ray lost a couple when he was at DHL's age.

I never understood the hate, never will.

You wait 5 years and he will be more admired than now, look at Lewis who was hated just as much then as DHL.

 

You dont know how to count.

Mayweather Jr. - L

Mosley - L and W

but on another note heres another one from this era

- Carlos Quintana
- Joshua Clottey
- Miguel Cotto
- Floyd Mayweather
- Cory Spinks
- Chop Chop Corley
- Kostya Tszyu
- Juinor Witter
- Micky Ward

and Carlos Baldomir if you wanna count him....

but too bad he loss damn near all of those, atsch

 

haven't got time to look it up but i bet archie moore has a great resume

 

Oscar has had a great career. Roy Jones has fought around the same amount of champs/ex champs.

Ali - BEAT

Liston
Patterson
Foreman
Frazier
Moore
Young
Norton
Foster

With a loss to Larry Holmes at the end.

That's not shabby.

 

Hopkins win >>>>>>>> Ruiz in any shape or form.

 

Oscar's level of opposition, whilst very good, has been more or less picked for its marketability.

Quite often the best opposition around made for the biggest money fights, so there is no doubting his resume is excellent for his era.

I can definitely think of several others, all things considered, that are better however.

 

Mate you have every right to your opinion.

For me though -The simple fact is that Hopkins - Raw Hopkins in the mid 90's - Had a bigger defensive and offensive arsenal than Ruiz has ever possesed.

I mean Ruiz stood there for rounds at a time trying to feint Roy Jones...that was about the extent of his offensive output.
