    Anyone who truly is a boxing fan, enjoyed watching Oscar throughout his career. And he ducked NOBODY! Truly a classy move on his part giving Manny his due!

    Oscar faced floyd and pacquiao and said Pacquiao was the most difficult fight. Prime pacquiao beats floyd which is why floyd ducked prime pacquiao for 5 years....what a coward. Respect to Oscar for fighting pacquiao.
  • Your smile Oscar is what makes you, the golden boy. Keep it up.Congrats on your induction to the hall of fame. You are a legend. GOD be with you.

    I will always be fan of Oscar's.  The guy came in the sport and helped carried it through some rough times and continues to help the sport.  He never dodged a fight and most if not all his bouts were entertaining.
  • Not sure I've ever seen Oscar more likeable. Makes me really root for him in life.

    Teddy Atlas got mad as soon as Oscar said Manny.  Teddy Atlas also known as the Pacquiao hater.

  • @jhunalmero8891
    Great respect to Oscar, he is a real fighter and a monster during his prime. Salute to him for admitting Manny Pacquiao is much better than him when they fought. But after the fight Manny Paquaio went to him and said that no matter what happen your still my Idol. That's how much Manny Paquaio respected him and also shows how humble he is.... Congrats Oscar D for being in the hall of fame you deserve it.👌👍👏
  • @koilover1532
    I love this man after mike and before manny. He's my second idol
  • @bigboy8508
    It's great that Oscar told Teddy that every human being has his problems.
  • MANNY PACQUIO!!! Not Mayweather, in which Oscar Arguably beat. Pacquio was just a Phenom nobody's ever seen before. Most special fighter boxing has ever seen. Remember.... Floyd started at 126.....
