The fight showed what Oscar has left.

    Nothing. He has nothing. PAC tok him apart. Put Oscar in with an elite and he's nothing. Has he ever beaten an elite fighter? Answer is no. And he never will. Top 100? No way. ATG? No. To be recognized as one of the best you hav to beat the best. And Oscar has never done that. And he never will.

    He beat Julio Ceaser Chavez and a lot of people think he was screwed in his fight with Tito and his second fight with Mosley.

    Honestly, this fight is a bit ambiguous, Oscar obviously still has his GREAT chin, PROBABLY still has good to great punching power, but reduced reflexes and speed, so I'd say he could probably still be competitive at 154 pounds against the relatively mediocre competition there, but why bother after the beatdown he got from pac?

    I think you're being a little harsh on him even though I agree he's very overrated

    Whitaker? The Whitaker Oscar fought was over the hill involved in drugs. The 2 fights before Oscar decided to fight him Hurtado and Rivera almost beat him. Whitaker was nowhere near his prime and Oscar knew it.
    Chavez? Old Chavez was not anywhere near his best, training on Jack Daniels. Agin Oscar pcked the right time to fight him. Oscar has never beaten an elite fighter in his PRIME! He just was not good enough.
