    1) This is even worse . Lopez beat no1 . His record is null and void . Who did he ever beat ? even Rosendo Alvarez was totally unproven by d time he fought him and did not amount 2 very much after either .
    i do rank Barera , Morales and probably even Olivares , Castillo , Herera and Zarate higher than Ricardo Lopez and i bet many more deserve a higher ranking . Julio Cesar Gonzalez achieved more : think of this : went d distance with prime Roy Jones , fought Eric Harding*2 , outpointed a still prime Glen Johnson , fought Montell Griffin , Zsolt Erdei , outpointed n undefeated Dariusz Michalczewski in Germany (!) , fought Tavoris Cloud , was only stopped 1ce in a career that lasted in2 d 35th year of his life and that was still on his feet . Does Ricardo Lopez have 25% of this caliber of names in his record ? i even omitted shot David Telesco and old & undersized Reggie Johnson so i did not even try 2 count names 4 d sake of it . I only counted fights that matter . Hail Julio Gonzalez and may he RIP .
    I guess I should list him in my all times top 10 Mexicans . It is 1 thing looking like a great fighting novices who barely know how 2 fight , however , remaining consistently mediocre against top level opponents does prove more .

    2) (and) regarding Chuvalo , while on paper he was stopped twice , his loss 2 Foreman was 4 very real and had it been carried on , Foreman would have had him down and taken his head off or something like that . Chuvalo was really helpless against Foreman and that stoppage was legit . Against Frazier i believe it was a thumb or something even worse , so i don't count it really , but Chuvalo was stopped legitimately by George Foreman .
    Oliver McCall is 1's choice 4 durability . Also Tua > Chuvalo in this department and in other departments .
