He had his good fights. Quartey and Ruelas were among them. Other fights he gets credited for were less impressive, IMO. There's been articles written about his wins over fighters like Vargas and Mayorga coincidentially came after both had been brutally KO'ed by Tito. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. Then there's his victories over over-the-hill legends, such as JCC. That didn't get him much in terms of popularity among Mexicans.

But that is probably the ONLY public relations mistake Oscar and his marketing team have ever made. Aside from that, Oscar and his team have been very careful to construct a sparkling white image... and HBO has been only too happy to embrace and build him up. Someone else said Oscar was a B+ fighter with A+ marketability. I think you're selling short his marketing team. It's higher than that. Can "Oscar, the movie" be far behind?
