For all those people who think Oscar is a phony, anyone who gets in the ring, as soon as that bell rings everything is on the table and with Oscar you always saw an honest fighter. He gave Manny his dues, what else is he supposed to do? Make a public apperarace wearing a Manny Pacquiao T-shirt and waving a Phillipino flag and proclaim that Manny is the greatest of time and he would have got his @ss whooped in his prime too and hes never fought anyone that hit as hard as Manny? Sometimes I wonder if certain fighters can ever be appreciated by some people no matter what they do.
Very well stated. I agree.
