    In terms of personal satisfaction: The Vargas Fight. This was a well-oiled, angry Oscar hungry to make a statement, and he showed great versatility, speed, and power in breaking Vargas down late.

    In terms of skills shown: Trinidad or Mosley II. Oscar showed tremendous lateral movement in the Trinidad fight and really made a dominant Welterweight champion look slow and plodding and unable to hit him with much of anything. DLH's offense was good in this fight too, scoring effectively with many 3-5 punch combinations and using his uppercut more than he usually did. I always thought DLH's uppercuts were very good, it's a shame he didn't use them more often. Mosley II was a great showcase performance, as he really neutralized Shane with an impressive display of jabbing, lateral movement, and counterpunching. He even displayed some slickness at times with the shoulder roll at times which, combined with his parrying skills, meant Shane rarely got him solidly that fight. His offensive arsenal looked good in this fight too- not nearly as much punch variety as he demonstrated against Vargas or Trinidad, but DLH's right hand actually looked good in this fight, sharp and accurate. Mosley wasn't walking through it like he did in their first fight.

    Wow, Mosely 1 is getting less love than it deserves.

    Vargas and Quartey were both awesome fights as well.

    I loved the Mayorga fight I just thought it was wild and entertaining and Oscar looked a little rattled.

    Also Mosely 1 & 2 were great fights.....

    Trinidad fight was a dud......

    Funny you should say Trinidad I was soooooooo mad after that fight, I felt Oscar had it in him to dominate and stop Trinidad but tell me what the hell went wrong?

    The fight didnt live up to my expectation not to mention the terrible ending I mean what was Oscar thinking running around like that in the end? If you have your opponent hurt - FINISH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Money vs. Oscar. The horrific beating Money put on Oscar was a masterpiece.
