    Shane's speed was great, but Howard Davis Jr. was faster in my book.

    Nah, Shane would've beat Oscar at lightweight better than he did at welterweight.

    Oscar's best weight was 140.

    Yeah, it would've been good but not as close and back n forth as the one at welter was just my point. THAT was a underrated classic. :good

    Yep, we do.

    Btw, Oscar was just sensational at light welter. Looked so sleak and sharp. Left that division waay to early imo, i think it was the best he ever looked.

    Maybe the styles flattered him a little though

    I know, but that's because he only had 3 showcase fights there. The weight was just perfect for him. I think he peaked there, should've stayed there for another couple of years because he had the perfect wing span, physicality and stance for it. The money fights would've still come. It was his ideal fighting weight imo.
