How big a fighter is seldome equates to being how great that fighter was. Oscar was a very good fighter, and was very popular. It ends there.
Floyd is a talented fighter who is not popular. It ends there. So please, no non sense about "all time greats."

Amat, whether Floyd's lack of great opposition has been his fault or not...is debatable. But until he fights great fighters...people need to come back down to earth and stop claiming that he is an "all time great."
Actually....I think Oscar will be compared to SRL more then anyone. Not the most fights but almost all of them were huge fights. Been on the beneficiary end of a few shaky decisions. Immensely talented crossover stars, who both have gold medals. When I think DLH compared to anyone it's SRL.
