Thread: Is Oscar Worthy of His Statue?

Yep,he's six weigh champ and has won the gold medal too!!Nice one

I know I bash the fag alot, But a lot of people bring up his gift decision with Strum, But I also had him beating Tito and Mosley the second time and won a gold, So yea he deserves one like alot of other fighters. But I still don't like him, like that really matters though.

Very worthy. There may be other people that are worthy of receiving statues but Oscar is definitely worth every pound of that adoration.

Stalin got one, so on that merit I suppose DLH can have one too.

Doesnt mean very much and they get taken down when the tide of opinion changes or is eventually allowed to flourish.

It will most likely be adorned with rude graffiti should I ever pass that way.

Hoya's statue standing next to the statue of retired sports superstars Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky?

Hoya still an "active" boxer... This statue could signal the end of Hoya's boxing career... This Saturday's fight could be the last for Hoya?

Just my thoughts...

Oh the desperation. Talk about reaching.

Oscar has taken on all comers for his crown. He has saved boxings ass again and again.

I'd say the decisions he lost pretty much equal out his gift decisions.

So would I.

Oscar is so popular because of how good he was in his prime, he faced the best and ducked abolutely no one, he was great to watch too. He challenged himself to the max by facing Hopkins, of course his main motive is money but he earned it the hard way. I think the statue is justified especially in LA.

Ofcourse Oscar's worthy of his statue. He accomplished so much.

Yes! He is worthy of the statue. He is destined to become a legend, You might as well immortalize him with a statue.

Ofcourse Oscar is worthy of this statue. He is the only 6 weight champion in the sport ever . He is a boxing legend and he is the most successful boxer turned promoter

Thou shall not make any images.



If the statue is about being successful in his career, then Oscar deserves one.




Anyway, I really don't agree about making statues of anyone.
