Who do you think would win between the all time great, López and the slick Calderón. I think that López has the edge in power and experience, but Calderón is as technical as a boxer can be. IMO, Calderón is a P4P guy who just needs a chance to show who he is.

What do you say about this one?

Serious responses, okay? No biased, bull****, or racial flaming.

I say its a good match up but cant throw in my 2 cents cause honestly ive never seen Calderon fight.I know what Lopez can do in the ring and I dont know how good Calderon is or could be.Sorry bud cant say.Im interested in reading what everyone else thinks though.

That's an honest reply. Off topic, why did you ask me what part of Puerto Rico I was from?

No, man. I ain't getting into any rivalry. I am just asking if you found whatever it was that you were looking for.

By the way, this thread seems to be on the verge of losing its course.

Sanchez vs Lopez 1997
34-40 LTKO5

Lopez is obvously stronger, but I have never seen him fight, if Calderon can pat him around and keep away from him, he can win.

Lopez fought for 17 years, defended his belts 23 times I think and moved up to light-Flyweight for three fights.

Calderon at 30 years, defended his belt 7 times, been boxing 5 years, so he'd have to fight another five years at 35, to get close to Lopezs defenses.

Lopez started boxing in his 20s I guess. Calderon has Mayweather type skills, so I'd say he would give him trouble.

Lopez by knockout.

Calderon had too much trouble against a young, inexperienced, not too quick, not too sharp, Nacho Beristain fighter not too long ago.

Lopez would have done more than just bust the iron boy's lip.

Calderón has no power, but his boxing skill is P4P like I said before. I thought of this fight the other day, and felt that it could have been a good one.

Thats the thing though bro, Lopez's boxing skills were top notch p4p themselves, but he carried some pretty explosive power even though he was so small.

They didnt call him Finito for nothing.

You must be referring to Mako Leyva. Yes, he got hit in that fight because he fought a different style. Everyone who has seen Calderón fight a few times, would know that he is a slick boxer who is almost untouchable. However, he chose to fight against a bigger guy and ended up winning a close, but clear decision.

Calderon never fought Beristain :confused:

Lopez does everything better than Calderon. Calderon has serious skills but Lopez is simply better than him in my opinion.

What type of fighter was Lopez, if you had to compare him with someone?

Lopez was one of the best and most technical boxers of all time.

I would say he is like a Juan Manuel Márquez but more aggressive and powerful for his weight.

I only seen JMM against Pacman, and half the fight I was asleep... :D

I would even say that López kind of looks like JMM. It's just that they were 20 pounds apart.

Either way, JMM is no Mayweather....

This is a very true statement.

Lopez runs though him. Thats not a knock on Calderon cause I am a Calderon fan, but this is just two different levels of talent here. Lopez would have to be a heavy favorite over pretty much any little guy of the last 25 years.

People are trying to bring up Calderon's boxing skills, but ignoring the fact that Ricardo Lopez is regarded as of of the greatest technical boxers of all time. Lopez was pretty much flawless.

Im Puerto Rican but Ricardo Lopez was nasty, technically sound quick and had nice pop. I think Lopez by dec. in a exciting fight.

lopez would have an edge on experience, calderon has a different style.

i would go for lopez, mid-KO.

There is a forum specifically for fantasy fights.
