He fought
Hopkins, Trinidad, Camacho, Chavezx2, Mosleyx2, Mayorga, Vargas, Quartey, Whitaker, G. Hernandez, Ruelas, Molina, Leija, Castillejo, Sturm, Gatti.

If you aren't happy with this list then nobodies list in the past 25 years will suffice. We know Pacquaio is a great fighter, but we don't know how good he will be, but I still think Margarito is a style that Oscar beats pretty easily.
People diss ODLH for anything he does but besides being a gold medalist can we compare any other guy's list of opponents with his? By his 13th fight he was already facing a BIG NAME who was not passed his prime. After that, bunch of big fights ONE AFTER THE OTHER: Hopkins, Trinidad, Camacho, Chavezx2, Mosleyx2 (did he really loose the 2nd one?), Mayorga, Vargas, Quartey, Whitaker, G. Hernandez, Ruelas, Molina, Leija, Carr, Kamau, Castillejo, Sturm, Gatti. Sure, Cotto, Margarito, and Pac have their qualities but can we say they have a comparable list of opponents and accomplishments as ODLH?
