    from the very beginning of his career he fought the very best available. name one fighter he ducked ? his resume reads like a who's who of the best lightweights-welterweights from that era. hell he even gave it a go at middle

    Well, we can scrape the 130 and 135 lb tenure and we still have a very solid resume.

    However, similar to Pacquaio, if you face the best everytime out, you'll eventually get a fight that's not making you look too good.

    Pac and Marquez as Oscar and Quartey/Whitaker.

    But regardless whether you think it's a win or not, they were fighting until the end.

    Yup. Tito looked foolish. Oscar even managed to get a round running in the 12th :patsch

    I ain't a fan boy, but you have to give respect for someone who fought everyone, which in this generation of fight dodgers is a rarity, and he always came to fight, again something of a rarity in the modern era.

    Your the kind of twat that goes on Box rec, enters Evander Holyfield, looks down his resume, and says to himself "Evander Holyfield is an over rated ***!! Vlad Ko percentage is vastly better!"

    considering after he beat them he still went on to fight every single one of his contemporaries. :-(
