    Was Ricardo Lopez the PERFECT Boxer?

    Every time I watch his fights, he doesnt show any weakness or any sloppiness.

    His hands are high, his footwork is mobile and yet well-balanced and ready for a counter punch, his left hook is nasty, his straight punches are pin point accurate...

    To me he looks perfect but then again I dont have the best standard as to what is the best boxing or not.

        No, Rosendo Alvarez proved that. Lopez is one of my favorite fighters though. One of the best little guys ever.

            as close one can be, guys think beristain taught him, wrong, it was cuyo hernandez who made him, sadly he died and nacho took him and finished his fine tuning, later nacho had de oportunity to have a boxer with similar qualities as ricardo and polished him in his mold, and that guy is juan manuel marquez, still ricardo was better by a mile...

                He was as good as it gets, amazing control even when fighting in the Far East in hostile environments - people forget to add that into the equation.

                  Geez good thing boxingscene didnt exist during the Finito's era, cant imagine myself being a member in a forum where Lopez and Floyd fans debate on who fought weaker competition.

                  Wonder what Calslappy fans think of this.
