    This question needs its own thread but I would say Oscar vs Ruelas, Oscar vs Hernandez, at welter Oscar vs Tito, Oscar vs Whitaker, Oscar vs Mosley.

    But damn for pure drama, Oscar vs Vargas.:good

    His absoluste prime was against Quartey and Trinidad.

    He had a string of great performances at the lower weights.

    His best performance and win overall was almost certainly against Vargas.

    Just get his career set :good

    I don't either, considering that Mosely is a tossup with Cotto even today, and Mosley isn't what he once was, and ODLH won that second fight with Shane.

    Cotto can be hurt, and he has NEVER been in with someone who could crack like DLH could with that left hook. Seems like a lot of people forget this, but in addition to that telephone pole jab ODLH had a one shot and done left hook.

    De La Hoya would stop Cotto mid to late.

    I agree on all accounts with almost 100% of this tread.Funny,too,because Cotto is my present favorite and I wasn't a fan of Oscar's even though I respected him.However Oscar was taller and loved to beat up smaller fighters.He would have had a huge advantage in reflexes and handspeed and his left hook/uppercut was a missile as well as his jab.And I believe Oscar would have beaten Margarito up,too.
