Ricardo Lopez is one of the all-time greats and finished off his great career on the Felix Trinidad/Bernard Hopkins undercard. Lopez had an amazing 50-0-1 (37 KO) career record, and an even more impressive 25-0-1 (19 KO) championship record. His last victory, a KO victory over recent world champion Zolani Petelo, proved his skills did not diminish throughout his career.

One of my favorite fighters in history.Just thought I'd share that.

Any thoughts on this amazing fighter?

Finito defended his title 22 times; where you at, B-hop? Finito was a bad muhfugga but I'd love to have seen him against Ivan Calderon. The Iron Boy is a very slick boxer (with little power) who knows the ring and has incredible stanima. Finito is still my favorite fighter below middleweight (not including Tito and Cotto, of course) and I would've loved for him to stick around longer. Too bad he retired.

Viva Finito!

Finito Lopez is one of my favorites. Excellent technical skills, good balance when he throws his precision combinations.

Thought that Sor Vorapin and Sorjaturong were good and worthy opponents for him. Finito was just simply better, if not the best jr. fly that ever wore boxing gloves.

Not many pounds on him but I think he can go down as 1 of the best P4P ever.Yet he is never mentioned, poor guy he really worked hard, but I think his trainer Nacho B. had a lot to do with how good this guy was. We will see the rematch JMM-MP how good Nacho is, Juan will school Pac even more this time. If you graduate from his training it's safe to say you have a masters in boxing.
