Shame what happened to him. I think ha falls into the went as far as he would have regardless like a few others mentioned though. He was being hurt by a couple guys and was in serious trouble with Daniel something. I remember when he dropped out at last minute in a shot at McClellans title and thought he dodged a disaster!! Then ya heard why and that career was a wrap.
Kermit Cintron looked like shit the last time out, and despite having 3 TKO losses he never took the amount of damage that Lopez took in many of his fights not only the Salido fights, once Lopez abandoned his boxing skills and relied only on his power he started taking too much punishment to get the win, it wasn't just due to two fights, that's like saying that Collazo took away Hatton's chin, seeing how his punch resistance was shit in every fight following that
and lets remember that the irrelevant joke that is Cintron still managed to school Alfredo Angulo
David Reid another good Olympian... eventually ruined by his droopy eye and then Trinidad . fighters that could have done better but i don't know if it would change his careers (because of fatal flaws/traits) would be guys like: Luis Collazo Juan Diaz (Technically The Jury is still out on him till he finishes up) Derrick Gainer maybe, Mo Harris...
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Reid went into his pro career already with the handicap Daniel Santos was the one who gave Reid the droopy eye as amateurs after that it was only a ticking time bomb, Collazo was just too dam inactive and being screwed against Hatton and Berto didn't help, Juan Diaz accomplished a bit and has had a good career, just a short lived one, he unified titles and had solid wins JM Cotto, Diaz and Freitas, then upset against Campbell and beat twice (first fight was bullshit) by Malignaggi and JMM
Glenwood the real beast Brown had a good left hook.

I agree with you on collazo. Sometimes slick isn't enough. As for the the baby bull. He did have his accomplishments. Good ones at that. He makes this list for me because he was getting sharper as he was working with ronnie shields, then all of a sudden he plateaued, he had trouble losing and keeping the baby fat off and looked softer in some fights and I doubt it was coincidental that the losses started to follow. The level of competition got steeper and his skills had the potential to do the same and instead it appeared as his choice between boxing and another career he could have obtained with his degree affected his dedication.

Obviously it wasn't just the Salido fights that did him in. Journeyman bum Roger Mtagwa beat him like a slave and Marquez had him out on his feet before Tony Weeks made a rare mistake and gave Lopez almost a minute of recovery time. Lopez doesn't make it out the round without that break.
Anyway, I've heard that before. That Lopez abandoned his boxing skills and became just a slugger. Like if that is the reason for his downfall. It's not. Lopez stopped using them cuz they were mediocre at best. He would never of been champion as a boxer. He never beat a quality opponent by boxing. All his big wins were as a slugger. His power was his greatest asset. He would of been a fool not to take advantage of it.
funny when the one who was out on his feet was the same guy who got KTFO last week, and then quit...but lets not get into that again, and mediocre? he used his sharp punching and counter punching abilities to become champion knocking out your boy De Leon in a single round but yea you forget those details, he also used his boxing ability to break down the normally durable Luevano, not just going in with wreck-less abandonment, for someone who swears to be so knowledgeable you sure do come off as a dumb fuck when you're blinded by your jealousy and hurt feelings against a guy who made your boy quit and claim he was injured going into the fightsad really, anyways point being, he still managed to accomplish more than fat boy Bojado, Vargas, and Ortiz all guys who were supposed to be the next big thing and all besides Vargas barely left a mark
If you gonna consider the way the ref stopped Marquez last fight as quitting than the list of Puerto Rican fighters quitting grows to insane numbers. Fighter went down. Fighter got up. Ref stopped fight. If that's quitting than Lopez quit in both Salido fights. You see the stupidity in your comments now?
Lopez accomplished more than Vargas?Stupidity and deep throating at it's best there. And Ortiz win over a prime Berto trumps Lopez best win.

was referring to his quitting against Lopez himself not last week, last week he just got ktfo by a nobody, and sorry Berto isn't even on the same level as ANYONE Lopez has fought, what was his biggest accomplishment? winning a vacant title against a nobody? beating an ancient Quintana who hadn't been relevant for years? a gift decision win against Collazo? then going on to losing to a small Guerrero (even beat him more impressively than Ortiz himself), and then losing to the journeyman that is Soto Karass. nice try though, and apart from wins against an old Quartey, an ancient Campas, and a gift against Wright, what exactly did Vargas do after that point to have a better resume than a 2 division champ with 4 former legit world champs on his record, but yea I guess Vargas' losses to Trinidad, DLH (while he himself was juiced up which makes it even more embarrassing), twice to Mosley and then against Ricardo Mayorga about 15 lbs above any effective weight class he ever fought in lol, but yea you'll pull your infamous usb of excuses out of your ass once again, and talking about deep throating you'd know, you're the expert looking like a 2 cent whore juggling Chavez Jr, Canelo, the Marquez bros, Angulo, and Margarito's junk all at the same time, but hey to each his own![]()
Stop back peddling. Everybody knows what you meant. And you say gift? Ha! Who the fuck are you trying to fool? Everybody knows if Collazo was Mexican you'll be calling that a clear win for Berto. Go back to sucking Lopez dick cuz your lack of boxing knowledge is becoming annoying. I can handle ignorance. But stupidity like yours is just irritating. You call Quartey old. He was only 31 when he fought Vargas. Campas was 27. If that's old what the fuck does that make Marquez (35) and Penalosa (3when they fought Lopez? Both had been in way more wars than Quartey and Campas. And those are 2 of the 4 legit world champs you trying to give Lopez credit for, huh? You make this to easy.
