How good do you think Ricardo Lopez' resume is?

[donnydarkoIRL]

I feel that his resume is limited given the quality of opposition he faced.

However, similarly to Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins, it's not who he fought, it is the nature of those victories that make him noteworthy.

Boxing wise he was flawless, did not really have a weakness and his record speaks for itself.

He was a perfect fighter, one of the best ever. He fought the best opposition he could there just werent a lot of great fighters in his weight, though he did beat a lot of very good fighters. Hes the best Mexican fighter of all time imo in terms of skill one of the best of anyone.

Lopez cleaned out his division. I rank him 17th all time in greatest fighters ever. Anybody that disagrees is disagreeing just to disagree. I doubt they seen more than 2 of his fights.

The thing with Lopez is he was such a good fighter that I rate him higher than I would other people who had similar levels of opposition. Its not that he fought a parade of bums, but he doesn't have the opposition of SRL, Hearns, Hagler, Duran, PBF, Morales, Barrera, Pac, even Oscar, and it goes on.

Would have liked to have seen a Carbajal fight.

I have no idea how long ago it was that I did this thread, just noticed it at the bottom of the screen

I would disagree, his resume is not among the very elite just in terms of pure opposition but he is a first ballot hall of famer clearly IMO.
