Honestly...I usually agree with Max...but not here.

Max has a cornucopia of knowledge that is genrally spot on & overflowing...but he's wrong here.

You promised we would have a six pack of natural ice together, I guess it will never happen though.

1. It's no way in hell Vargas was in his prime when he fought Oscar, and he was no where near greatness. Tito had beat him half to death, and his next two fights his corner had to sit down with him and ask was he committed to a comeback because of his performances.
2. The Trinidad fight was controversial but nevertheless it was a Tito victory. On top of that Oscar has faded in fights late with Mosley, Hopkins, Mayweather, Sturm. We already know he was faded in the Tito fight, how do you think it would have ended up with him being in there with the best finisher in the business (at the time), I think he lost fair and square because of his choice.
3. Quartey was a close fight that the Majority of the fans thought Ike won (sportswriters) but nevertheless it was close. It just puzzles me to this day that Oscar gets credit for the fights he was robbed in (supposedly) and in fights where he robbed his opponent (Whitaker, Quartey, Sturm). How the hell does that work.
