TOTALLY AGREE(as per usual!)
I agree as well, but Id have to say he isn't undeserving of the acclaim, and he isn't seen as the most influential fighter for nothing. I will assume that since he was awarded fighter of the decade, it is based on the time between 1997 and currently... And as someone else posted, in that time, noone has faced nearly as many name opponents. Clearly, Roy Jones, Hopkins, Mayweather, Barrera, Morales, Marquez, Wright and probably others Im forgetting, have been better p4p fighter than Oscar has in the time frame. But as far as big name fights, none of those guys have been in half as many as DLH..
