Toney??/Bhop/Mccalum

There is a valid argument about RJJ being the more talented fighter, but you really can't compare the names on the records.
Maybe not the "names" but you can by career opponents.

Because Chavez, Whitaker and were both past their prime and a lot of people think Whitaker beat Oscar. Tito and Mosley both beat Oscar. Roy didn't lose. And did Chavez and Whitaker then go on to add on more to their legacy or were they already at the end of their career by the time Oscar fought them?

Hopkins and James Toney both went on to create legacies and James added on to his too and Hopkins went on to become a legend. Thats why you can't compare Oscar to Roy in that way in my opinion.

And Inflated records when Clinton Woods is the IBF Champ no matter how he got it he got it regardless and Eric Lucas and a lot of your names you put up there went on to have good or great careers after Roy beat them. However the names you gave to Oscar were already at the end of their careers or beat him.
