He went above & beyond the call of duty against Quartey, Vargas, & Tito & beat all of them in their primes & when they were on the cusp of greatness.

Honestly...I usually agree with Max...but not here.

Max has a cornucopia of knowledge that is genrally spot on & overflowing...but he's wrong here.
Do you really think Quartey and Vargas are on the same level as the top guys Oscar has lost to though? B-Hop, Floyd, Shane . . . . Those guys are all first-ballot HOF material. Tito is too, so I credit Oscar there. But Quartey and Vargas just aren't.
No Vargas is not on the level of those guys, and Quartey is far from it. But I think the talk of Oscar not being great is not fair. He is not top 20 all time great and how can he be, but he is good. His power left him at 140. I do not even think Tito is in the B-hop, Shane,Floyd class. Who did he really beat? Joppy? He almost lost to Oscar and lost to Hopkins and Winky bad.
