Sugar Ray wins a clear decision but Oscar keeps fighting the whole fight. 8-4 type deal. The speed difference would be tough to overcome for Oscar but he would have really only a punchers chance that Ray will give him by being too aggressive.

Oscar lost a lot of big fights officially but I thought he won the Trinidad and maybe the second Mosley. But he clearly lost the Pernell and quartey fights. He gave Floyd hell until he faded in the mid rounds. Oscar had a good chin to take punches.

79-82 SRL is on the short list of best boxers ever seen on film.

DLH did most things at a high level. Ray did them even better

SRL wins a competitive but clear UD, or maybe stops a fatigued Oscar late. Ray was a great finisher

Srl footwork was goat type shyt.

I loved Oscars fight's. His loses did more for his legacy than his wins did.

Devils Advocate.

If the De La Hoya who fought Trinidad turns up, but fights a prime Sugar Ray, who wins that?

Oscar or Leonard ? Or do the judges get that bag again?

Hearns beat Leonard by at least two rounds, we need justice for Tommy. And i can't believe i'm saying it, but justice for Oscar.
