    it's sad how one of the greatest fighters ever in the history of the sport gets such minimal acknowledgement. mainly in part because of his weight class, other than that, he should be the standard of which fighters should hold themselves to.

    he had it all as far as i'm concerned. also, most people even so called boxing fans, because during his reign they were trying to pimp out heavyweights like nothing else, so the smaller weight classes got shunned, a lot!

    Finito is the epitome of what an elite fighter is............ the total package, if you ask me, there are others on his level, i just think he deserves to be revered more for his skill and professionalism..................

            he was a great fighter without any other great fighters to beat up on. he was just that much better and at a lower weight where ppl dont get much recognition, there u have it.

              He is one of my all-time favorites. A lot of people say that JCC was the best Mexican fighter ever but to me it was "Finito", he just happened to be in a weightclass that most didn't care for. He made other fighters look dumb.

                IMO he is the best technical fighter Mexico has ever produced, and he had KO power.
                Retired undefeated and now is a comentator for Box Azteca.

                His son (Alonso Lopez) looks exactly like him, fight with his gaurd up high just like him, moves like him...hopefully he is 50% of what his father was.

                His fights are a beauty to watch!

                      Him and Salvador Sanchez were so much a like. I think it has to do with the weight. Him and Carbajal would of been a war with Finito winning. One of my all time favorites, dude had insane power for that weight class
