theres no one out there these days that fights the level of opposition that Oscar has been facing most of his career
win or lose he fights the best
Whitaker (P4P no 1 at the time)
Hopkins (P4P no 1 at the time)
Mayweather (P4P no 1 at the time)
Mosley twice ( I thought he won the rematch)
Trinidad (everyone thought Oscar won)
Hernandez
Chavez
Camacho
Rivera
Quartey
Vargas
------
thats a warriors list! its a shame Kostya Tszyu lost to Vince Phillips back when he was supposed to fight Oscar because that would have been a war

i absolutely couldnt agree with u any more. i been sayin this awhile. i wish he woulda won a couple more of those, i also thought he beat tito but he hurt his chances at the end
does anyone here think Oscar took a dive against Hopkins? I didnt see that at all, I thought it was just an awkward punch from a bigger guy but some people are adamant he took a dive
Oscar was holding his own up until then
I thought he won the Mosley rematch, I only saw it onece live but at the time I thought Oscar landed alot more punches
the Trinidad fight was Oscars, theres no need for a rematch there especially now
another Rematch with Floyd would be huge
he wont fight mosley again, so I think either a rematch with Floyd or a fight at 160 with Winky Wright will be his best 2 options, a tune up wouldnt be a bad idea either
about hoplins it looked like a brutal liver shot, similiar to CC's on Sapp's it was a delayed reaction. he was impressive until then, he had no business go up in weight and fighting hopkins, but he has balls of steel.

Thats what I thought, just a nicely timed liver shot that took a second for Oscar to really feel
Hopkins can make heavyweight and probably still be a top challenger so theres no shame in a built up lightweight losing to Hopkins
imo thats what Hopkins was all about, fighting smaller guys most his career
