Im sure CutMeMick will know this so i'll wait until he gets on, Lopez is one of the most under appreciated boxer's of all time. I see lists, Listing greatest boxers of all time and i never see Lopez on any of them. Lopez was the complete package and its a shame that the lower weight classes don't get as much credit or interest as they should.
I saw a list somewhere from a article about the DLH-Trinidad Fight
At that time he was around 6th behind RJJ, DLH, Tito, PBF and Mosley
Cheers bro CC.Quote:

DLH on the other hand had already won titles in 4 weight classes and had his biggest wins over Whitaker and Chavez.Quote:

This is been said before here but in an interview done by RJJ he humbly said:
"Ricardo is #1 P4P IMO, the mans got tremendous talent I don't know why hes so low?" - RJJ
The interview was done in 97-98.
Any P4P list that doesn't include Lopez is garbage
so thats ice? i thought it was gamo...silly me.
I think in 96-99 lopez would of been p4p best if he had more exposure but due to his size he was overlooked. Anybody would say the same why he wasn't rated higher, theres really no other reason why he wasn't ever rated higher then 5th i think.

Well if you are not in the Featherweight,Lightweight,Welterweight,Middleweigh t,Lightheavyweight and Heayweight divisions you will be over looked. And as far as Lopaz goes i not a huge expert on the man but with his record and 26 titles diffences he derserves a mention was he good enough to move up to featherweight or would that be a stretch for him just to ask because he probably would of got more mention if he did.
