    And I own your ass Jack :good After this one you stopped trying to debate with me and picked you pom poms back up and started spelling out K-A-Y-G......with your feminine arms :lol:

    Gaygb doesn't own ****, accept maybe 1/2 your possesions, and his bias and unyielding hate for Oscar blinds his judgement.

    And since you dug this thread back up, maybe you and/or your goofball friend can answer my question. What was it about Vargas, IN THE DELAHOYA FIGHT, that makes you think he wasn't his best???? I honestly think he could've been suffering from back problems leading up and used the steroids as a result. But on that night, however much his back was hurting him, the roids were helping.....because he was a beast; Strong as ever, fast, ferocious.....and Oscar beat his ass :good

    You have good logic. Hearns performed better. Against greater competition. But i get your point.

    Oscar is higher on my list. He performed better in his biggest fights.

    What list are you talking about? The recent ESPN ranking of the top 50 boxers of all time included both Thomas Hearns and Oscar De La Hoya.

    It was more of a general question, but most didn't seem to get it. I wasn't asking who should be rated higher, just why Hearns seems to get a high ranking on the same criteria that is used to criticize DLH : Fighting great competition but not winning against most of those fighters.

    When ranking Hearns, people say he fought great comp, and even though he didn't win against Hearns or Leonard, he fought them and also had some other great wins over solid opposition.

    When ranking DLH, you will see people say he fought great comp, but lost to most of them, and therefore doesn't deserve a high ranking, or to be ranked at all in some cases.

    Same criteria, fought great fighters but didn't win most of those fights....but different outcomes on the opinion.

    The list is pathetic Jack. Now get this. they have Oscar at #40 and Carlos Monson at #46. :lol: Even worse than that they have Whitaker at #45 and Mayweather at #49. Oscar ranked above those guys is mindboggling and tells you the list is only something you wipe your ass with.
