    Hopkins did so probably. It'd be the best fight Golovkin ever stopped

    Duck Spence and the Charlo twins? :risas3:

    He probably would've fought Jacobs and GGG too albeit GGG would've folded him like a cheap suit with a body shot.

    He also fought some in prime guys as well. Carr, Tito, Mosely, Quartay. Not exactly a walk in the park.

    When did Oscar ever duck anyone? People sleep on him because he’s mildly effeminate, but when it comes to boxing, Oscar was no b*tch.

    Except for the last three rounds of the Trinidad fight. And that pathetic dive he took vs Hopkins.

    Now is this the SAME Oscar that was put in the fetal position for a 20 count against the “High Risk” Bernard??

    De La Hoya would have to have known what GGG would have done to him. And that “Less Talented Protege” was pumped full of Mexico’s finest beef where cattle look like 2,000 abominations with muscles in unheard of places. So yeah Oscar was comfy with putting his boy in with Gennady.

    And BJS is arguably the best pure boxer in the division.

    I’d give ODH a shot to beat all those guys or at least fight them all. One thing he never or almost never did was duck a fighter.

    If there was money to be made in the fight he would have fought him point blank. Middle was not Oscars best weight and Golovkin would have chopped him down but the fight would happen. No one will remember Saunders in 10 years.

    He would not duck any of those guys...... that's not to say he wouldn't struggle or even lose to them. I give Oscar credit for not ducking, thus why hes got some loses.

    Oscar bragged he wanted the winner of Margarito-Cotto 1 tp
    :Go out in a blaze of glory" But when he saw what Tony did to Cotto his stones shrunk immediately lol So instead he picked on little Manny Pacquaio Big Mistake Manny kicked his ass BAD & totally embarrassed him I loved every second of it
    If he was boxing today he; probably come to the ring In a wig, full make up black fishnets & red high heels/

    You know what else shrunk after that Cotto fight was Tony's reputation. No one wanted to fight a brick yielding cheater !

    I’ve never heard that story. But Pac-DLH is one of those hindsight fights. Oscar was a corpse.

    Oscar had no business fighting below 154 at that stage in his career. But the weight disparity between the two back then was pretty big. It wasn't too long after that till Pac was fighting at 147 & 154. But back then Pac going up to 154 was preceived as him giving away too much weight. Still it's kind of crazy for Oscar to agree to drain himself down that low at that stage in his career.

    All things considered that was a passed his prime DLH vs a prime Pacquiao. Pac could have let Oscar weigh 154 and Pac probably still would have won and it would have been a better fight.
