    Oscar pretty much fought EVERYBODY from 147-154 who.was worthy

    Exception being FORREST

    Now to claim Oscar ducked/was scared of Forrest would be not true, Oscar did not.duck.fights

    Viper got locked into rematches with Mosley and Mayorga. He wasn't really anyone until 2001 or so.

    DLH moved out of welter, left Mosley behind as division champ, he was chasing belts in new division.

    DLH-Forrest and DLH-Wright would've been fantastic to watch, seeing as both Forrest and Wright deserved the spotlight.

    I think both beats DLH handily.

    How the hell did Wright get away with turning down the fight :lol: It baffles me.

    He was low-balled, and he was the king at 154lbs at the time.

    But Wright probably regrets not taking the $6.000.000, but at the time he had just completely smashed Tito and things were looking up for him.. Tito made $10m against DLH.

    Winky really would've spanked DLH.

    I'd have loved to see it.. too bad Winky thought he was some form of mega star after beating Tito.

    Winky beats Oscar. Forrest doesnt. Forrest wasnt on Oscars level as a boxer. Oscars chin is too good. I see Forrest trying to exchange with Oscar as he tended to do, and Oscar catching him with a left hook that seriously hurts him.

    I think Forrest-DLH would've been a better matchup for DLH than against Winky.

    Winky would've got in his ass, and probably put a bad whooping on DLH :lol:

    I see it similarly. Oscar would end up catching Forrest. Winky, however, was a spoiler and would put a crimp on Oscar's night. Wouldn't be an exciting way to win, but win I think he would've.

    The king of 154 was taking 1 million dollar paydays and struggling against Sam ****ing Soliman.

    You really just compared Trinidad's payday in 1999 to Wink's 6 million dollar offer in 2005? Wowzer.

    Oscar beats Forrest by the way. Forrest is so overrated it gets cringe worthy at times. Hell, old ass Quartey and Mayorga put it on Forrest
