    Felix Trinidad has a better resume than Oscar. He beat almost all the best fighters on Oscar's record and beat them when they were more prime. He beat Whitaker much more convincingly then Oscar did.

    He won that fight bay the narrowest margin a single point SD you do realize if the judge who scored it 115-113 for Floyd if he gives one round to DLH Floyd doesnt win that fight.....

    and this is a semi retired shot DLH who fought a prime Floyd Mayweather

    Yes, and this was the fight that made oscar #1 P4P in the world, even ahead of Roy Jones Jr at the time, and believe was rated fighter of the year also.

    Roy commentated that fight actually and even said himself Pernell was still a prime fighter, but had lost just a small step.

    Whitaker was well off his prime when they fought, Oscar had already dethroned him, he was tangled in partying and cocaine and looked horrible in the tito fight and far off his best.

    Vargas was a much smarter, bigger and stronger fighter when he faced Oscar. My gawd, he was on roids for fuk sakes and in the best shape of his life. He was a 20 year old punk that had no respect for Tito when they fought and almost got KO'd inside one round for his lack of respect. When he fought Oscar, he was much more intelligent, motivated and ring savy. He gave Oscar a hell of a fight and made adjustments throughout it but faded down the stretch as Oscar broke him down.
    By all means, if Vargas had used his brains before his balls in his tito fight, he would have beaten him without a doubt. Tito had to resort to low blows to keep Vargas from steamrolling him once he knocked tito down and had all of the momentum to keep going.

    Tito isn't near Oscar on the ATG list.

    Still waiting to hear how Floyd's resume is better. Of higher quality. The better fighters.

    Yeah I will like to know. We've all set our cases.

    I wrote this a few days back but just saved it as I couldn't be bothered finishing it:

    To prove your greatness, not just against eachother but against the greats of the past, who would you choose to gain advantage i.e which names do you want to have on your resume in order to compete as much as you can against the likes of Leonard, Canzoneri etc. in the rankings? - You sure as hell have to beat the best fighters, not just the very good/good ones.

    W Trinidad vs W Cotto + Judah? = W Trinidad
    W Mosley 03' Roid vs W Castillo + Ortiz? = W Mosley 03' Roid
    W Vargas vs W Canelo = W Vargas
    W Genaro vs W non-Prime Genaro = W Genaro
    D Whitaker vs W Corrales + W Hatton = D Whitaker IMO, drawing with a P4P no.1 Top 20 ATG Top 5 Most skilled fighter of all time + only a little past prime..what does that reduce him to? From Top 20 to Top 50 ATG?
    D Quartey vs W Marquez. Not the memo Marquez of 147 that Pacquiao fought = Still you'll favour a win over an ATG.
    W Gonzalez vs W Mitchell = W Gonzalez (the Gonzalez that Oscar fought)
    W Castilejo vs W J. Chavez = W Castillejo
