I have always felt that Oscar was a B+ fighter with A+ marketability. If Oscar was an ugly guy from a country other than the US, would his skills have been enough to carry him to the abolsute peak of the sport? I say no.
And I'm not hating on Oscar by saying that, because I will ALWAYS have respect for him, because he was willing to fight anyone. He could have made a ton of money even if he had fought stiffs, but he chose to consistently fight the best guys out there. He was great for the sport, but I don't consider him a great fighter. He was a very very good fighter with a great list of opponents. I thought he lost virtually every big fight he was ever involved in.
