The whole 'Lopez ducked him' stuff is just a typical putdown.
How can we know who ducked who? Or who priced thenmselves out of a fight.?
Question: Any comments on the retirement of Ricardo Lopez retirement?
Morel: The only way I could have fought him was if he would have come up in weight class. He was fighting at junior flyweight and it is impossible for me to drop to that weight. I really want to fight the best, and he was one of the best out there but at a lower weight class. He had the opportunity to come up in weight class. He had nothing to lose. He did not do that. It was his decision and I respect that. Now that he announced his retirement, I will see what Top Rank wants me to do. Whether it is to stay at 112 or move up. I will be ready for whatever they want me to do.

What does that prove?
Do u have any comments of Lopez? Surley that would be a little less biased.
Even then, who knows why the fight never took place. That interview isnt proof of anything.
I know Lopez has been critisized for not moving up by many people.
I cant believe he lacked confidence in his ability as he was so dominant.
But it is possible he didnt want to take a big risk.
