Are Oquendo’s days as a major player over?

[tedsares]

Oquendo is still a recognizable name and could fight for a belt, but don’t expect him to win one. Fast Fres Oquendo’s days as a major player in the heavyweight picture are over, particulay after seeing him take out a limited guy named Norris on TV.

[p4pking]

When did they start

[TheBESTP4P]

Fres had his one big time chance against RUIZ he was doing good until he lost focus and gassed out and ruiz got the flurry on him!

now Ruiz winning by a flurry of punches? OUCH thats enough to end anyones career

Thats what I was going to say lol....CC....

IMO Fres was d ecent guy with some ability but not that little bit extra needed to be a true force...He made some money during a weak era...Go with it and be happy you came along when you did

[BoxingGorilla]

Fres "Innuendo" Oquendo looked ridiculous on Wednesday night. For a moment I thought it was someone from Saddoboxing's MMA thread demonstarting the windmill technique.

Fres Oquendo's days as a major heavyweight player will never be over...because he never has nor will ever be a major player as a heavyweight! Who's his biggest win? The fight he lost to Byrd but should have won? The recent one he lost to "The Really Old Deal" Holyfield? Oquendo seems like a likeable guy and I wish him well but come on. He has never been a major player in boxing, period. To think so, you must be a family member or close friend.

Well, I guess that must mean that Bryd has never been a major player? Duh!

He sort of was...when the division was crap but as we said. Oquendo never officially beat Byrd.

[tedsares]

And today the divsion is not crap?
