Lopez is a winner, and anything can happen in a fight. Lopez wants the fight, it's his big chance, just like the Ortiz fight was his big chance.
Are you his brother? If you told James Toney he couldn't beat Wlad Klitschko tomorrow he'd probably eat you alive with a spoon, that has nothing to do with it. Obviously Lopez is tough and has a big heart, but he looked tiny at welter next to Ortiz. He can't carry this weight, and stylistically doesn't have a single thing going for him against Canelo. It's not about whether he thinks he can win, it's a terrible fight which sets both guys back regardless of how competitive Lopez is able to make it. Terrible matchup.
