    DLH to his credit has fought the best and yep lost a few along the way. Tito and the second Mosley fight he was hard done by. The only one he missed along the way was probably Tszyu. Nobody can knock his record and who he has fought. Win, lose or draw against PBF his legacy in the sport is assured.
    I can't see the point in him continuing if he beats PBF unless he gets Winky at 154 and i don't think that is likely.

But Oscar was able to move right along and beat ranked fighters when his career was just starting. He may have 4 losses but i don't think there is any other fighter in history who could've taken Oscars path and had the same success without getting derailed early on.
    I agree . Oscars record is very impressive and it would be a fitting end to a great career if he were to beat Floyd .

    Chavez 1&2- First time Chavez was no match for Oscar . In the return Oscar beat him at his own game and made the great warrior quit
    Whiticker - Close fight but Oscar was moving up from 130 to beat an all time great
    Quartey - He got off the floor to win another close battle and almost stopped Ike in the last round
    Tito - I scored it 1 round to Tito but many thought Oscar skooled him.
    Mosley 1&2 - First time Oscar was outspeeded , but he was much better in the return . I think he had the beating of Shane at 154 but he threw it away late on
    Vargas - One of Oscars finest wins over a rival
    Hopkins - He put up a good fight but 5 divisions above his natural he just wasnt big enough
    Mayorga - Vintage De La Hoya , as good as ever against an opponent that suited his style

    People compare Oscar to Leonard but in their biggest fights (Duran - Mosley, lightweights ) ( Hearns - Tito , welterweights ) and ( Hagler - Hopkins , middleweights ) Leonard won all his superfights and Oscar lost them all.
    I agree with all of that apart from Oscar being 5 divisions above his natural weight. His natural weight prime was probably welterweight. He started off in the light divisions beating up on smaller men. No way he could make even 147 now .

    It would be like saying Amir Khan is a natural lightweight because that is his weight now. In a couple years time he will be at 140, then 147 once he's fully grown. His prime will be at 147 no doubt, same as Oscar
    " natural " weight is debatable . Lets say 5 divisions above hsi starting weight . I agree he was probably at his best at welterweight . He still had his speed and power . Slowed down abit at 154 and middleweight was one weight class too far .

    And about the 4 losses should be 3 and 1 even (he won against both tito and shane in the rematch but lost to whitaker, the sturm fight imo should have been a draw)
