Fantasy Fight: Ricardo López vs. Ivan Calderón

[mic573]

What type of fighter was Lopez, if you had to compare him with someone?

Lopez was one of the best and most technical boxers of all time.

Lopez was one of the best and most technical boxers of all time.

I would say he is like a Juan Manuel Márquez but more aggressive and powerful for his weight.

I only seen JMM against Pacman, and half the fight I was asleep...

[Exciterx30]

I would even say that López kind of looks like JMM. It's just that they were 20 pounds apart.

[IwatchBoxing]

Either way, JMM is no Mayweather....

[Round 1]

Lopez was one of the best and most technical boxers of all time.

This is a very true statement.

Who do you think would win between the all time great, López and the slick Calderón. I think that López has the edge in power and experience, but Calderón is as technical as a boxer can be. IMO, Calderón is a P4P guy who just needs a chance to show who he is.

What do you say about this one?

Serious responses, okay? No biased, bull****, or racial flaming.

Lopez runs though him. Thats not a knock on Calderon cause I am a Calderon fan, but this is just two different levels of talent here. Lopez would have to be a heavy favorite over pretty much any little guy of the last 25 years.

People are trying to bring up Calderon's boxing skills, but ignoring the fact that Ricardo Lopez is regarded as of of the greatest technical boxers of all time. Lopez was pretty much flawless.

Im Puerto Rican but Ricardo Lopez was nasty, technically sound quick and had nice pop. I think Lopez by dec. in a exciting fight.

[SLIMZ]

lopez would have an edge on experience, calderon has a different style.

i would go for lopez, mid-KO.
