    resume has to be defined on wins, losses and chances taken. this has been done before.

    resmune alone is water.

    We talk about what ever is hot in boxing and PBF is in the lime light. It's what he wanted. He claims to be the best ATG, okay lets' analyze! It's fair game.

    Well loses should be considered in P4P rankings, but in ATG stats they shouls play a major factor.

    Wins should be inspected closer. SRR has loses yet he is higher ATG than Marciano, Finiton Lopez and PBF.

    Same thing with Duran.

    I for one like to judge a fighters resume by what the guys that they fought did after that fight. For example Oscar has beat 2 fighter that went on to become a world champion. In fact most of the top names that Oscar beat has horrible careers after fighting oscar which tells us that Oscar was picking guys at the end of thier careers. Lets look at the three biggest wins for oscar..Chavez 6-3 after his first fight with Oscar that after being 95-1-1 before, lost to some clubfighters. Whitaker 0-2-and a ND after being after going 40-1-1 pre oscar. Quartey 3-3 after going 34-0-1 pre oscar. Oscars resume is a good one problem is he didnt win the bigger fights. In his three biggest wins many if not most thinks that he lost two of them.

    So while Oscar has a great resume, it dont really mean that much if your not winning the fights. If it was only a case of who fought the best fighters then none of the guys you listed would be in the running, its about WINNING most if not all of your big fights. If just fighting great fighter was a point to make you great then one of greatest fighter of the last 25 years is Jorge Vaca, hell he fought Pipino Cuevas, Lloyd Honeyghan, Simon Brown, Terry Norris, Mark Breland, Roy Jones Jr, David Reid, Quincy Taylor, Yori boy Campas.

    I look at it like, perhaps these guys weren't the same after Oscar fought them. Tito did it to a few guys too.

    Usually guys who take a beating and go on to become champs are young prospects who haven't peaked yet. So they get beat up green, but still have time to grow.

    But the fact remains that even with DLH's losses he still has more quality wins than Floyd.

    I think a really good case can be made for Erik Morales and Manny Pacquiao as well.

    BS. Oscar never beat up a top fighter. So what your saying is that Oscar put such a beatting on Whitaker and Quartey that they were never the same????? WTF ever, hell most of us dont even think he won those fights.

    Cotto is building up a great resume. torres, Mags, Quintana all won titles and all were at the same stage of there careers as Cotto when he beat them. Then he has wins over Jadah, Mosley who were faded but still good. Which is were most of Oscar big wins came from, faded fighters. Oscar Resume is smoke and mirrors. Arum did a masterful job of match making with Oscar. Another Example, Oscar was offered a fight with Whitaker he turned it down...Whitaker goes on to fight Hurtado looks like pure sh*t pulls a win out of his A$$ then all of a sudden Oscar wants to fight. Same thing with Quartey and Vargas.

    Most observers believe he beat Trinidad at prime.

    Many observers believe he beat a prime Shane.

    Many observers (including the judges) believe he beat Whittaker.

    Many observers (including the judges) believe he beat Quartey.

    He KO'd Vargas.

    He KO'd Hernandez.


    Against that, many thought he lost all of those fights (except for Vargas and Hernandez).

    The point is, all of them were razor thin either way (except for Vargas and Hernandez).

    In fact, the only man who has a clear, unequivocal victory over Oscar is Bernard, an ATG and a once-and-future light-heavy who was recently contemplating the heavy weight division.

    And given that Oscar has faced the best opposition of anyone currently boxing, and has only one decisive defeat at a weight where he had no business being, ( some questionable wins and some possible robberies), his resume is, at a minimum, very decent.
