You could argue that DLH's quality of oppostion was superior but the fact is Tyson in his day was considered by most as UNBEATABLE.

DLH never really gave that impreasion. Even when he was undefeated he was criticized for fighting an old Chavez, for getting a gift decision against Whitaker and Quartey. He didn't even look that good agains Oba Carr. Please note this is all not my opinion just the general impreasion from the media at the time.

To answer brazilianbomber. I think in the end Oscar was loved by so many by a combination of great promotion and the fact that he is one of the very few fighters that have been willing to fight anybody. Pretty much anybody who is somebody from 147 to 160 has been in the rign with Oscar.

CC and good post Rookie, but Oscar was a big draw way before he got to 147, and that was way before he got the reputation of being one of the fighters to fight everybody. His popularity started in 92 when he was in the olympics
