    Chavez. His first great win regardless of the cuts.

    Vargas was antagonizing Oscar for years and disrespecting him every chance he got only to get TKO by Oscar

    Sadly his big ones are in the L column but to me it just means he tested himself, i mean he went up and challenged B Hop how much ballsier does it get

    Honestly he blew the Trinidad fight which i saw even but he definitely didnt lose, he fought Shane to a close either way sort of fight and lost, he got robbed bad in Shane 2

    His shining moment is probably Vargas big rivalry, very good fight, great end

    Gold, Chavez, Trinidad, Mosley II and Vargas.

    Sorry, but I thought he was lucky against Quartey and Whitaker.

    I'd say Vargas. Olympic boxing ****ing sucks. Vargas was a very good fighter, naturally bigger/heavier than Oscar, there was a lot of bad blood, and it was a cracking fight. The way Oscar finished him was pretty exciting as well, and it was a really satisfying victory for him. Yes, definitely Vargas.

    Oscar's greatest moment cannot be narrowed down to a single event.

    IMO his greatest moment was moving up to 147 and fighting every single champion there almost immediately. What makes it even greater is that the 3 reigning champions were champs at the same time for atleast 4 years in the same ****ing division, and neither had faced each other.

    Oscar jumped up to 147, fought the true 147 champ P4P#1 at the time whitaker, moved on to Quartey, and then went on to outbox Trinidad, all three champs having very different styles.. No the bull**** careful mtachmaking we get nowadays.

    Getting robbed blind against Tito & then Mosley 2nd fight. The amount of times I watched the Tito fight & still cannot work out how a fighter can win 8 rds out of 12 & lose the decision. The mosley fight was closer but I still had Oscar winning 7-5 rds. I will say it did balance out as he certainly didn't beat Sturm in a lack lustre performance.
