Oscar accomplished just as much as Roy did. He wasn't as dominant as long as Roy was but then again Roy was being fed B fighters for years. Oscar fought tougher opposition than Roy did. I like both fighters but you gotta be kidding if you think Oscar was manufactured. he fought his way to the top amatuer and professionally
Now roy was being fed B fighters? How about he beat the top contenders at light heavy and pretty much cleaned out middle weight before he moved up to light heavy (where he was actually the smaller guy fighting larger guys the rest of his career)
And you can't be blind enough to see oscar wasn't catered too. I loved oscar until after the whitaker fight..that was complete BS...fight was a draw at WORST for whitaker. The scores were ATROCIOUSLY in oscars favor as if pernell didn't even show up when it was obvious he was made a fool of during that fight.not to mention he tasted the floor and that BS pt deduction my a$$.
THEN after the fight on HBO the clown when on to say there was no need for a rematch? Are you kidding me? LMAO....lost all respect for his catered to ass under Arum.
Let's not start on the quartey fight. Again Draw at worst, but check the scores. It's like Ike didn't even fight. Later felix sturm when oscar was trying to make the fight with bernard happen.....how can you not see this?
Fact is....Oscar couldn't hold a candle to Roy. And roy said he'd move down to 160 and tap that a$$ mid 90's on HBO...HBO knew oscar would be OVER if it happened...just like they knew Tito would get destroyed when he got cocky and mentioned Roy....never happened Roy would have ruined him....and you know it.
Meanwhile jones pretty much made it clear he wasn't losing a round b/c of how he was robbed in Seoul because he knew judges sway votes like they did for oscar which is why the trinidad loss to his was poetic justice.
The only guy Roy was even given a hard time about was Darius M. The euro fighter that didn't want to come over. He later got his a$$ took to the wire by Richard Hall and beaten by Julio Gonzalez.....both of whom were DESTROYED when they fought Roy and that's the point i'm trying to make about roy....the was light years ahead of good fighters whom later became champ.
I know it's hard but Roy was the truth in his prime. Oscar was a b*tch who ran from winky wright and vernon forrest...funny how shane fought them when he won the belt but oscar didn't want to get within 10 feet of them.
