    At 147 Oscar, among others, has wins, unofficial wins or at worst razor-close losses to

    35-0 Tito
    31-0 Quartey
    34-0 Mosley

    Wins over

    100-2-2 JCC sr,
    41-1-1 Sweet Pea
    63-3 Camacho

    Albeit they ^^^ were past prime

    KO 11 Oba Carr
    KO 5 Gatti
    KO 8 Wilfredo Rivera who many feel was robbed against Sweet Pea in their first fight

    Let's be clear. ODH got decision over Sweet Pea, but he did not beat him.

    I would take ODH to win without controversy. To those picking Crawford to easily win, are you honestly saying Crawford is better than prime Balco'd Mosley? I just don't see it. And Oscar arguably won that fight.

    Always wonder why DLH seems to be the only boxer around here who is held to that standard.:thinking:

    As far as fighting the best goes? Or being required to win the big ones?

    Edit: forgive me, it's been a long day. You highlighted it and everything for me. I assume it's because he was so marketable and was the cash cow at the time. Still though, some of those L's should have been W's in my book (and a lot of other peoples).

    Because he was the face of the sport for a very long time. It comes with the territory. I’d bet Oscar doesn’t really care he was held to a higher standard. He was a legit superstar.
