If Barrera, Morales, Marquez were straw weights/super flies.....

i can see him squeaking by Chiquita but having a harder time against CArbajal..but yea, both were more than capable of beating Finito I agree that Carbajal would do better as he was the stronger and longer of the two. He could bully him with such a huge power advantage. The only time we saw Finito struggle was in a similar situation. Unfortunately I doubt many in here know who either are.

that's why Finito never moved up Most likely either one would have beaten him. Not a matter of lacking in skills, just those guys were hall of famers too and much larger. Finito was a small strawweight.

You would have seen a series similar to Carbajal-Gonzalez between them. Don't act like Finito was the only noteworthy fighter in recent memory at those weights, they have been very competitive at times.

Yes. And with ease.

Finito Lopez was a level above all three of them in my opinion.

strawweight is a historically very "weak" division because not a lot of pple weigh 105 pounds or whatever the limit is. If I am not mistaken Ricardo Lopez had the opportunity to move up in weight and prove himself against the best of a higher weight class, but Lopez chose not to.
