    DLH deserved all of his losses. He lost against Sturm too imo.

    completely disagree, Trinidad & Mosley II were bad calls, just as the Sturm fight was

    IMO you could replace Trinidad and Mosley II with Sturm and Quartey, my question is which fights would have meant more for his career? IMO if he had been given the win on Mosley and Trinidad people would consider him so much more than he was. I had him losing a really close fight to Quartey, but he was just outjabbed.

    Good stuff.

    I had Oscar beating Whitaker buy a few,Quartey buy a notch and loved the way he finished.

    Had Tito fight 114-114 right down the middle.Oscar took it for granted,big time!

    Thought the Sturm fight was another case on an 'unknown' coming stateside against the a superstar looking to bigger headlines and getting the ever loving shite robbed out of him.Terrible call.

    Mayweather over Oscar by a couple.Very glad no re-match happened

    In the minority it looks but I had Mosley winning the rematch,very close hard fight.Oscar boxed very well early but I think Mosley was stronger down the stretch,moved Oscar.Also think it was one of the most biased calls Ive heard from The HBO team,especially soap box Lampley

    Oscar was exceptional fighter but not great, lost the major fights when it counted. He had real courage to break and challenge the status quo of welter champs, Whitaker, Ike and Tito who were just happy to defend their titles and not unify.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
