How good do you think Ricardo Lopez' resume is?

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.

Wow, had no idea this was on youtube

Also check out Sorjaturong's fight with Chiquita Gonzalez if you haven't seen it.

Such nice footwork and balance

Kind of a crappy feed though.

Youtube doesn't do Lopez justice

Just depends, obviously the later you go in his career the better, there's a good Petelo feed, the Ohashi fight isn't that great.

I've always wanted to see his 2nd fight with Rosendo Alvarez, but i've looked all over and so far nothing. I've been looking for atleast over a year, i've heard such much about it i would love to see it.

I know nothing really of Ricardo Lopez but looking at his record the only thing that really impressed me was that he had a 0 kinda like Joe Calzaghe never really impressed me with his record some may say Ricardo Lopez was a better boxer then Calzaghe but to me they have achieved about the same in who they beat and division the dominated i dont know if i would put a guy with oppsition that was close to Calzaghe at 17 i would rate proably Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, and Tommey Hearns based on how much they moved up and the people that they beat along the way i am not basing this on skill alone but what they acomplished in there careers.

Lopez was pure class and quality.Two major strikes against him IMO....he was at Strawweight or 'minimumweight' (how insulting is that) and had little 'mainstream' appeal,name recognition,no english....should not be held against him.He was a puncher but at the same time a styalist and pin point accurate hitter....I also dont think King did him any favors at times by sticking him on undercards as an after thought.Would have loved a jump up to meet Carbajal...who in contrast had the Olympics,ESPN up bringing and big push.Lopez is a Great,period!!His comp was there,he just swept them up...Nene,Alvarez 1,2 (all time brutal scrap),Grigsby,Ohashi,Sorjaturong,Petelo......Now Porpaoin,that would have been nice
