How good do you think Ricardo Lopez' resume is?

[OumaFan]

This is not a "how great a fighter do you think Ricardo Lopez is" thread. I think he was a great fighter, a real pleasure to watch.

More like just how good do you think his opposition was, how many quality wins did he have. Some of the guys he fought, unless you saw them and just said ok I think that guy is a pretty good fighter then its hard to tell because they might not have fought any other top level guys.

Obviously Alvarez was a very good fighter, same for Sorjaturong, then there are some other guys Grigsby, Charoen, Sanchez, Petelo, etc. who I don't think were great fighters but were solid enough. Not really including Sor Vorapin since he was getting up there a bit.

I'm sure I'm missing some, I've seen 13 or 14 Lopez fights so there's probably somebody I missed.

Its a shame he didn't get too fight more truly elite guys, wasn't he scheduled to face Carbajal at one point? I'm not blaming him for not moving up, but it would have been nice.

I really don't know to be honest im like you i have seen about 14 fights of his, and i know some knowledge about his opposition. But overall im quite clueless on about 60 percent of his title challengers. I do think he should of moved up at one point though, and challenged Michael Carbajal, Humberto Gonzalez.

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.

Unless I'm just totally losing it Humberto was trained by Nacho Beristain as well and they may well have been friends, I've never heard of a rumored fight between them.
