Yea, that I believe that fight had a major impact on Oscar's only real loss during his Prime to Mosley in their first fight. oscar felt he had to prove something and went out there trying to knock shanes head off with no real gameplan. Oscar couldve outboxed Shane as he did in their second fight (another robbery, not as bad as titos though) I believe it was all Don Kings doing, paying off the judges who really fuked Oscar's career in some ways.
And it's tougher being the richest man in boxing history who LOST the biggest fights of his career... Lol..
It amazes me people are still brining this up but at the end of he day Oscar lost. There's no doubt Oscar was winning the fight and honestly he was winning quite easily and if had continue that for the additional rounds he ran (I don't know why to this day he did that) he won by a landslide. The fact is you have to fight all 12 and don't leave it up to the judge because it can come back to bite you in the ass in the this case that exactly what happen.
I don't think it would have mattered if he kept it up for 2.5 rounds. They still would have had him losing. The amazing thing was the judge who gave Oscar the last round that is how you know the fix was in effect.
Biggest fights during prime: Ruelas - WIN Hernandez - WIN Chavez - WIN x 2 Whitaker - WIN Quartey - WIN Trinidad - Loss (Robbery) Mosley 1 - Loss Vargas - WIN Mosley 2 - Loss (robbery) so that is 7-3 and 2 of them were legit robberies.
LOL. The biggest fights of Ole' Fishnets' career are as follows: Trinidad - LOSS Mosley - LOSS x2 Hopkins - LOSS by his hurt leever Mayweather - LOSS Pacquiao - LOSS by agreeing to fight a jr lightweight @ 147lbs
LOL. I didn't know it took balls for a jr middleweight to challenge a jr lightweight. Balls must have been made of brass. Lol...
Exactly How anyone can say he lost his biggest fights are crazy. And yet another reason to try and crap on Oscar. So many jealous people still.
