Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
most talented or best?
Roy Jones Jr was.
But he doesn't have the BEST resume. But he was the best and most talented.
Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
I don't care what anybody says. The best fighter of the last 16, 20 years is Ricardo Lopez.

Shit man,how did I get forget him!!?! You know,I'd have to agree for once,the guy was like the COMPLETE fighter and even as he got older and younger guys tried to take him down(Rosendo Alvarez),he STILL beat them! I wish he would have fought Carbajal though! What do you think the outcome would have been? Lopez UD!

Lopez by late knock out. The Alvarez fights are the reason I like Lopez so much. Lopez gets dropped in there first fight (only time ever) and gets pushed hard. The fight ends in Tech Draw. Lopez immediately asks for a rematch against Alvarez. Alvarez goes in to the rematch over weight. The fight was almost called off. Lopez said fuck it. Didn't care about Alvarez's weight advantage and said lets fight. And fight they did. Lopez deserved the win in a hell of a fight.

Lopez was the closest thing to perfection in the ring. Would Alvarez not have dropped him not only would he have retired undefeated but never down in a fight.
I think Lopez would have beat Carbajal, he would have outskilled and frustated Carbajal.

Yeah I totally agree,although unfortunately,I only have the first Alavarez fight,and have only seen clips of the second one,it's so hard to find!!! Was the second fight beter than the first? It looked pretty cool from what I saw but the first fight was like a technical masterclass from both fighters!

Shit was better. it was a war for 12 rounds. It was fight of the year runner up that year (I forgot to what). Lopez was bleeding from several cuts and Alvarez was also pretty banged up. Lopez won a SD if I remember correctly. Because of his fights with Lopez, I will never knock Alvarez, but if he was more disciplined in the way he took care of himself they would of had a third fight. But it was not to be. Alvarez loved the night life to much. Can't fault him for that.
Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
Shit!! I need to get that fight BADLY!!!! CC for the 411 bro. Out of interest,and it may be a stupid question but who would you favour had there been a third fight?
Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
No question about Finito Lopez greatness as a boxer. He could box and punch, definitely one of the greatests. The only thing against him was a large population of the boxing fans who prefer watching untalented Heavy Weight fights instead of these guys full of talent and a BIG Hearts. In the low weights I remember the fights between Michael Carbajal and Humberto "Chiqita" Gonzalez. Those were wars...
There are many talented boxers, but I have to mention Tito in this list. He gave us some of the most exiting fights in the last years...

Lopez. But a Alvarez win would not of surprise me. Alvarez was a hell of a fighter. He just didn't have the disciplined Lopez had
Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
So shouldn't Arce get more credit for his win over Alvarez> Or was Rosedno like totally out of shape then??
I also agree,I think Tito deserves a mention for his AWESOME record.
Re: Who has been the best fighter in the last 16 years????
It was visible that Rosendo was not at his weight division neither at the best of his shape fighting Arce.
