Name one fighter who has a more beautiful form than Finito Lopez

[Beanflicker]

He was great for sure. It's a shame he wasn't 20lbs bigger and fighting in a weight class people care about.

It was lucky for the boxers at those weights he would have beaten them all.

[Beanflicker]

Most likely

Most likely

The only fighters I could see cause him problems would be Roy Jones or maybe Floyd.

[Beanflicker]

I'd take 130lbs Floyd over Lopez any day, all the same.

I still have never seen a virtuoso performance that matched what Floyd did to Diego Corrales. The footwork, precision punching, ring generalship, fighting going forward, backward, inside, outside. The greatest display of boxing I've ever seen.

I think Finito would have finished Corrales quicker and clearer.

Maybe... if he didn't weight less then the average 14 year old girl

He was a wonderful fighter and isn't it a shame. I recall a time when Ricardo was on the same bill as christy Martin. He was paid $50,000 she was further up the bill an paid considerably more. Which tells us that the world is fucking mad

Maybe if Ricardo had publicly beat some women, made online homophobic racist rant videos, came from a family of crack-addict jailbirds, and occasionally went to jail himself too, maybe he could've made more money, because clearly conducting himself with style and class and having an undefeated record of 52 wins and engaging in 26 World Title fights wasn't enough...

I think it would have helped if he didn't have the stature of a 7th grader. Not to diminish what the minimum weight guys do but come on, 104lbs? It's a lot harder for the general public to get excited about a guy who weights less than the average 14 year old girl, as opposed to a 200+ pound silverback like Mike Tyson, who gave the impression that if you looked at him funny he'd tear your arms off and beat you with them.

prince naseem hamed was one of the biggest draws in sports, and he was only 5′4".
Ricardo Lopez was taller than the Prince.

I think fighting at featherweight was the difference.

[Beanflicker]

Prince was also a featherweight, hence me saying how I wished Lopez was 20lbs bigger, which would have put him in the featherweight class. And to be fair, Prince Naseem had a TON of star power charisma and style. Featherweight is small, but people will get behind a featherweight. Minimum weight is a bit too slight I think.

Carbajal did well and he had a great fight with Gonzales.
