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.
the thing is Oscar lost to Tito and arguably also to Whitaker While Tito beat Oscar and boke Pernel's Jaw!
