    He also beat Taylor and was fighting Hopkins, very well in a close fight, until Hopkins started bashing him over and over with his head.


    Vargas did clearly beat him, though.

    Hmm, this is a toughie, but your post reminded me why I would favor Tito. Mosley liked to jump in and out a lot and I'd favor Tito to use his range to punish Mosley as he jumped in and out. Slug fest all the way through with lots of back and forth action.

    Winky is definitely under-rated, but I don't think much of his victories over those two. Basically blown-up welters who didn't belong at the weight and were at the tail end of their careers. Since they got school by Forrest and Hopkins respectively they lost a lot of confidence as well. Wright's fights with Vargas and Taylor were more indicative of where he stood even though he didn't get much credit from the judges, he got it from the fans.

    Tito never lost to offensively minded fighters. Mosley would trade and not get the best of it.

    Oscar implemented the perfect strategy to beat Tito with minimal damage and risk. He did run a bit in the last 2 rounds but even in doing so he still managed to outland tito in one of those rounds. His corner CLEARLY told him to box AND angrily told him after exchanging with Tito to close round 10 "no more of that ****! Box the last 2 rounds and then we go home." Everyone thought Oscar won and so did he. He would have went out and banged if he had to. Quartey is a prime example -- and Quartey put Oscar down once in their fight prior to the 12th. Oscar isn't afraid to exchange if he feels he has to and if he feels he's losing. Look at Mosley.
    It was honestly the tito defeat that had Oscar go in and stupidly brawl with Mosley. He felt he had to prove he was a warrior, and he did, but in doing so he lost that fight too.
    I think the Tito fight is why Oscar was trying to implement a new system with judging where a fighter can see if they've lost or won a round as the fight goes.
