He deserves it, but I don't want to see a mismatch. Lopez' biggest quality is his will to win, which has gotten him this far. But you need much more than will beat Mayweather. He's going to have to do something extremely impressive against Canelo to change my mind. Knockout of the year type of thing.
next should be winner of martinez/chavez... Then Ward.... Then Mayweather... Then Paulie Mallinaggi..
(honestly, if he wins here against canelo, I still won't be convinced, Canelo has some openings and can be hit, don't forget little cotto got his attention a few times) Don't get me wrong, I love Joseito Lopez's story, and I hope he continues this real life Rocky Movie, but I don't think a canelo win means he'll be competive with mayweather... The fight would sell like mad, so maybe it should be made... but I don't think he's neccessarily ready.
yup....if josesito lopez beats canelo it will only prove that canelo is big a hypejob. I'd rather see mayweather fight sergio once he beats chavez jr..josesito should try and maybe fight some of the other top ten best at jmw not named mayweather or go back down to 147 and try to get a title shot there (he's a small ww/jww afterall)..

nah..if josesito wins it just exposes canelo as a big hype job. josesito should move back down to ww and try and get a belt there..become a two weight world champion.
How is it a cherry pick, he's fighting the guy that has steam rolled two guys he's huge underdogs against? Obviously the Pac fight is what everyone wants, but if Lopez beats Ginger, he'd be fighting someone on the up and up instead of a guy coming off of a loss. Its a no-win situation. Pac is on the downslope.
Whether they fight at 147 or 154, it doesn't really matter. Mayweather doesn't belong at 154, and neither does Lopez. They'll both come in light.
Plus, he can't fight Martinez, because Martinez is getting KO'd in 11 this Saturday :(
Who else would there be to fight that wouldn't be considered a cherry pick at this point? Tim Bradley?
Pacman?? Who in their right minds would cough up close to 100 bucks for that mismatch??
But yes, if Martinez beats Chavez, (I'm not sure he will) & Floyd stays at 54, that's the fight that needs to happen.
Like I said if Floyd goes back to 147 then I won't have any problem with Floyd/Lopez if he beats ginger, (long shot).
Lopez would deserve the fight. But from the point of view concerning Floyd, that fight would obviously be a cherrypick.
Yes Lopez was an underdog against Ortiz & ginger, but how does winning that fight warrant a Floyd fight?? If they fight at 147, then I won't gripe too much. But if they fight at 154, all hell breaks lose.

Based on his performances, if anyone deserved a Mayweather fight, it would have to be Lopez. He's gone through every challenge, it would make sense, and it would be a fight Mayweather should get credit for.
From a "quality wins" standpoint, yes. From a competitive standpoint, I think most would say no and should they fight,say floyd cherrypicked him to avoid Manny or Martinez.
agreed:killyou::killyou:
He beat Ortiz for Canelo, and damn if he can pull it off on Canelo, I believe so.
No way in hell he can beat him, but he deserves it.
