    Best faced opposition of all time. Never ducked or dodged anyone.

    He isn't a top level fighter. He has the biggest ***** though. He faced them all, in their primes.

    He beat a prime top dog in Trinidad and arguably beat Mosley.

    Oh ok, you're the blatant hater that thinks Oscar lost all of the close, controversial fights he did lose, but then thinks he lost all of the close, controversial fights he actually won also. LOL you know how obvious that is? You're an idiot.

    Isn't a top level boxer?:lol:

    He was ranked p4p #1 in the world for 2 years ahead of ATGs PRIME Jones, hopkins, barrera, Morales, FLOYD, and list goes on. Yea, sounds like a B rated fighter. :roll:

    He lost almost all his big fights? He beat Chavez twice, Whitaker, quartey, varges, mayorga<<<Hmm inch to all big fights??? If you say Oscar really lost to quartey and whitaker? Cool cause as you say many ppl thought Oscar beat Trinidad and Mosley rematch so in that sense Oscar still win big fights. You say Oscar deserves to lose to Trinidad the way he ran as you say? Oscar ran the last 3 rounds cause he thought he had it in the bag which any true boxing fans would agree he did had it in the bag which he won 8 out of 9 rounds before the last 3 Rounds. So this shows you're re****ed saying Oscar is overrated.

    Not a hater but he is overrated. There is a difference between being popular and great. You are the idiot. I can talk about his transvestite tendencies but would rather. He was a good fighter not a great fighter.

    He was a very good fighter and champion but not an all time great in my opinion. He lost to Tito Trinidad in my opinion.

    Oscar is an elite fighter gents, no matter how you cut it. He performed as well any of the other greats in his era and his skills were respected by his peers. Also, he had the heart of a boxing champion.
