A good big man will almost everytime beat a good small man. Oscar in all sincerety isn't even a junior middleweight, at tops he is a welterweight. Oscar looks considerably small framewise next to legitimate jr middles with castilejo and vargas, whereas bernard is a solid middleweight possibly a super middleweight. oscar didn't belong in the ring with hopkins that fight should not have happened it was a mismatch.

I can understand how some ppl can question oscar takin a dive, but wouldn't losing a uninamous decision be less embarrasing than getting koed. also he didn't seem to be banging the golve as soon as he went down. watch the fight he was in pain and paralyzed for the whole ten count and after some recuperation starting banging his golve in frustration. for fighters it is the worst feeling to get kayoed than anything else even getting injured.
