    With this in mind, do you consider Kell Brook a MW?

    My point is he was a true ATG. These type of generational fighters are effective across weight divisions. It’s like the great Alexis Arguello he did not lose to Pyror because he was moving up again Pyror was just another special animal who could give it and take it eventually breaking Arguello’s will.

    Sturm was a top MW
    I don't think the De La Hoya fight was a robbery at all
    It was a close fight that I could see an argument for either way
    I think most people recall the last round where Sturm was looking the stronger, rather than the whole fight, where often Oscar was more busy

    You clearly don’t understand boxing. If you don’t know how special these guys are I am not in the mood to debate you. I would recommend some study and actually watch videos of the careers of these guys then come back and debate a grand master. You internet generation kids don’t know **** about boxing.

    I am not a fan of Oscar De La Hoya but to admit he was not a great fighter would be wrong. Perhaps you are confused by his cross dressing antics. It confused many of us of a certain generation including Floyd Mayweather because inside the ring Oscars had cojones.

    Only had 1 fight at MW so far and he was acquitting himself well against lower case g. In fact that fight in particular made me realise lower case g was not quite what he was cracked up to be.

    sturm had 20 fights and against ALL BUMS. Literally look at his record
    so what? the fight was extremely close before it dumbass
    you're pushing a stupid ass agenda and its pathetic. oscar is 0-2 at mw according to most and is a natural 147 and was past his prime in that fight anyway, trinidad is a 154 and wasnt even allowed to use his regular hand wraps and winky is a 154 pounder who was seriously ****ing washed up and hopkins fought him at 170 pounds lmfao. You're a joke
