The one fight that got away

[HattonTheHammer]

de la hoya-wright was always a strange one for me as to why it didnt happen

Oscar, sugar shane, winky and vargas seemed to primarily fight one another all the time. Im pretty sure thats the only fight that didnt happen between those 4!!

Add Trinidad and Mayorga to that list as well. All 6 of those made 147/154 very entertaining to watch.

Add Vernon Forrest in as well then. Just on this whole why Oscar thing, people always say that he didn't duck the best, but in truth he never fought any of the best guys at 147 or 154 if they weren't bringing a load of cash. That's cool it is a business after all, but it gets on my nerves when people say he always went after the best, then he should of focused on fighting one of Forrest or Winky at 154 at some point this decade. He always went after the Pound For Pound champ (Shane, B-Hop, PBF, Pac) because of the money it brought rather than fight legitimate threats around those weights. I'm a big fan of Oscar but it seems since he retired people are looking at him through rose-tinted spectacles. Personally I give Mosley the most credit, I think he was always a weight division behind Trinidad (ie Shane 135:Tito 147, Shane 147: Tito 154, Shane 154: Tito 160) and that's why that never happened.

certainly did

people moaned about oscar fighting sturm despite the fact oscar was moving up the weights, had just been beat and was fighting a current world champion for his title

Other than that ODLH has pretty much gone after the best all the time much like gatti did despite the endless beatings he took!!
