delahoya was the bigger man he was supposed to come forward..and one round means it was a golden boy production...truthfully it was 116-112 or 117-111..and body with sense could see that...even mayweather senior had to change his opinion after seeing it the second time...Quote:

Yes, Jerry Roth's scorecard looked a little fishy. But, if you look at his career as a judge, he has always leaned more to the aggressor so it is not supprising.
Oscar haters are always good for a laugh. When all is said and done...people are jealous of Oscar...plain and simple. Listen...no one...NO ONE...is perfect in this sport...there are no angels...Oscar included. BUT...name one boxer who wouldn't LOVE to be in Oscar's shoes?! The man is mega popular, extremely wealthy, and a fantastic boxer. What...you guys are going to hate on him for using his looks and business savvy to sell himself and create a successful promotional company?!!! God forbid...any other boxer who COULD do that...wouldn't. As far what he has done in the ring...win, lose, or draw...the man has a tremendous resume. He has NEVER embarrassed himself in the ring. Not to mention the enormous amount of positive publicity he has brought to the fight game. So some of you can call him names like "slut"...i just call you jealous haters.
I thought ODH beat Quartey, Tito and Shane the second time...I thought he lost to Sturm, and I had the Pernell fight a draw...I had PBF winning 7 rounds to 5...If ODH had kept up using his jab I think he wins it but he didn't. His resume of fighters fought is right there with just about anyone over the last 10 years. Outside of not fightin KT I can't think of a big name that was in the same division as ODH that he didn't fight...and Oscar wasn't a Junior Welter for very long. At 135 he was an absolute monster....I don't know how you can watch the guy and not see an awesome talent. If you put the top 10 LW and WW's of all time in the ring I think Oscar would win some lose some, but I don't think he'd be completley outclassed by anyone...If Shane and Tito are considered "great" then I don't know how Oscar isn't.
Besides what I said in my last post. I for one have great respect for Oscar. His record is just a product of the excelent quality of fighters he has faced. I wish more fighters had the guts to fight so many elite fighters.
I already gave my opinion on who the sluts were at the beginning of this thread.
Oscar has always been elite and competitive at that level, so hes always been the guy to beat. any of theguys he fought were in their prime and win or lose hes always made a good showing so why would lose credibility and get "slut" status as a fighter?
So why would you say that Oscar is not a great fighter, do you know anything about boxing. Let me guess, your a mayweather fan. I think that you need to start watching fights and not go by what you hear, and then you will know who is a great fighter and who is not. No offense i know this is just an opinion but keep the criticizing coming its fun to hear someone else's point of view.
Hey bro's I just checked the ODH-PBF scorecard again and if judge Jerry Roth seen the last round 10-9 De la hoya which it CLEARLY was then the fight would've been a draw.
The two other judges seen it 10-9 to Oscar in the last round and one was even Chuck Giampa who scored it 116-112 Mayweather overall.
