Has anyone ever faced a better run of fighters in one calendar year than Oscar in 1999?

Who in their right mind three months after that war with undefeated Quartey jumps in with two loss Oba Carr (L's to only Tito and Quartey) and then four months after that is in their with Tito? :mindblown:

Toney in '91

KO'd Michael Nunn (who was p4p #3 at the time) when he was a 20-1 underdog.

Then beat Reggie Johnson less than 2 months later.

And fought a prime all-time great in Mike McCallum at the end of the year.

Also beat Merqui Sosa a few months before Nunn


Ali beat Frazier & Foreman in the same year...and Liston & Patterson in the same year about 10 years earlier


Sugar Ray Robinson fought Armstrong & Lamotta in '43...Graziano, Maxim & Olson in '52...Fullmer (x2) & Basillo in '57...all hall of famers


Ezzard Charles fought Burley (x2) Maxim (x2) Overlin & Basora in '42...Moore, Marshall & Bivins (all hall of famers) in '46

I can go on...

No matter what people say about Oscar's personal life, nobody could ever call him a p*ssy. When he was the biggest name in boxing he carried the sport the right way. By fighting the best. I could care less if he's a fruit cup, dude was a warrior in the ring. He gave us enough great match ups that I give him a pass for ducking the guy in my avi:mjpls:
