Oscar was hyped from the beginning, he turned out all right and a real cash cow.
Just because a fighter is well thought off, with outstanding potential and is brought along steadily and slowly does not mean there's reason to criticize.
I can't understand why success pisses so many of you off. I was down on Rigondeaux, but I had to change my mind when he was successful.
To be fair both DLH and Rigo had won Olympic gold and that's not an easy thing to do at all, you need great boxing skills to win that gold.
