That\u2019s no indictment on Bud\u2019s greatness. Oscar\u2019s resume is on the same level as Ali\u2019s, Holyfield\u2019s, Leonard\u2019s and Duran\u2019s. It\u2019s literally one of the best 10 resumes of the last 50 years. Oscar fought a prime Mosley, Quartey, Trinidad, Mayweather, Pacquiao and Hopkins. He also fought HOF greats who were slightly past their best in Whitaker, Camacho and Chavez. And if you add excellent fighters like an undefeated Genaro Hernandez, Arturo Gatti, Jesse James Leija, Fernando Vargas, Oba Carr and Miguel Angel Gonzales, you have one of the best resumes in history. But let me add context. Bud has not been the A side in his career. Oscar was the A side for his entire career. So while I applaud Oscar for taking heavy smoke, Bud doesn\u2019t have the luxury until now to fight whoever he wants, whereas Oscar had it for his entire career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As for resumes, I think even Bud knows that Oscar\u2019s resume is superior to his.
