Obviously no fighter is perfect but both have been seen by many boxing aficionados as the total package, the closest thing to perfection in terms of technique, skills, ability, and overall well roundness. Who do you consider the more 'perfect fighter' in your opinion?

You’d be surprised with how much praise Lopez gets, especially with his superb skills. Besides the TD which was caused by an accidental head butted he was never beaten. I think it’s a valid comparison.

Lopez was a well-rounded very good fighter. Not on Robinson's level though. Trained by Nacho, you can see a similar style to Juan Marquez, though JMM relied more on counter-punching. I would put Lopez on the same level as JMM, Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, and a lot of other ATGs.

Neither compare to the great Joe Louis. Overall though, Robinson proved to have the better intangibles against better comp. Both were beauty to behold, at the end of the day, Robinson did it against better fighters for longer.
