Minimumweight Lopez or Cruiserweight Holyfield?

[Fox McCloud]

Which one do you think was better? Not in a head-to-head matchup, but more... who do you think had a lesser chance of ever losing at that weight, or giving up their supremacy at least (which would disclude fluke losses)?

I can't think of two guys who had less of a challenge to their claim as the best of their weightclass, but which one was more dominant?

You decide.

A prime Lopez at minimumweight was very, very hard to beat. He did almost everything right, so I'll go with Lopez. Holyfield was almost beaten by Qawi the first time they fought.

But...

Lopez had a draw and a split decision against the same guy in the last two bout she had at minimumweight.

Something to think about.

...towards the end of his career against one of the better min/light fly fighters in quite some time. rosendo alvarez was very good in his own right.

lopez had less flaws than holyfield, therefore i see him beating any given minweight fighter you throw in front of him. i'm not so sure about that with holyfield.

yeah, evander never held down a division as dominantly as lopez did.

shoot, for that matter, did anyone? i mean took on all comers and left undefeated?

Exactly. Agreed.
