Is Oscar Worthy of His Statue?

[CGM]

Is DLH the only guy who has a statue outside Staples? If so, that makes it quite an honor, doesn't it? Does he deserve more than other stars like Kareem? Who knows, Who cares, really.

I think Magic also has a statue. I think it's great. Plus, it's LA. A lot of baseball fans probably wouldn't think of Juan Marichal as the first baseball player to deserve a statue but in San Francisco it was a very cool thing. Oscar is loved in LA, has been for a very long time now so it works there.

Whether he deserves it or not is irelevent, I mean how can any mere mortal DESERVE to be immortalised in a statue much less someone who just beats people up for money.

At the end of the day it's whoever the people of LA want as a statue I guess.

If they like it fine, if they don't well let them throw eggs at it, even better.

Ultimately I'm just happy they only made it out of bronze.

Having his likeness hewn out of such a cheap material must surely irk Saint Oscar who would obviously have rather been fashioned and displayed in all his golden greatness

I think it is well deserved. Who else has won belt's at 130,135,140,147,154, 160

I know I bash the fag alot, But a lot of people bring up his gift decision with Strum, But I also had him beating Tito and Mosley the second time and won a gold, So yea he deserves one like alot of other fighters. But I still don't like him, like that really matters though.

[Enthusiast]

Very worthy. There may be other people that are worthy of receiving statues but Oscar is definitely worth every pound of that adoration.

[Gandalf]

Stalin got one, so on that merit I suppose DLH can have one too.

Doesnt mean very much and they get taken down when the tide of opinion changes or is eventually allowed to flourish.

It will most likely be adorned with rude graffiti should I ever pass that way.

I'd say the decisions he lost pretty much equal out his gift decisions.

So would I.

Oscar is so popular because of how good he was in his prime, he faced the best and ducked abolutely no one, he was great to watch too. He challenged himself to the max by facing Hopkins, of course his main motive is money but he earned it the hard way. I think the statue is justified especially in LA.

Ofcourse Oscar's worthy of his statue. He accomplished so much.
