What ODH must do to get back on top

[Kev]

He's still a hugely tough opponent for anybody out there at 147 and 154.

I am not disagreeing above. But surely, whilst he is a future HOF, ODH is not amongst the creme de la creme of today. The creme de la creme is made up of Mayweather, Pacqaiou, Marquez and Hopkins. What these fighters have in common, are recent victories over very tough opponents.

Actually though be honest for a minute here.

Put Oscar in with Cotto, Mosely, Mayweather, Williams etc and you'll have some very close competitive fights.

Now put Hopkins in with Calzaghe, Dawson, Pavlik, Taylor etc. Does he do any better against these opponents than Oscar does?

I don't think so. He beat a 39 year old Tarver and a 37 year old Wright. Neither fighter is relevant to their divisions any more.

Give Oscar credit, he may have lost his last fight but it was a split decision to the world's best fighter in his prime.

Last time Hopkins fought a prime fighter he went 0-2 and put on such negative performances in both that everyone urged him to retire.

Oscar is only one win away from shooting right back up the p4p rankings again unlike Hopkins imo he's still competitive enought to do it.
