Lopez went up from 132 as an adult to 165, asking him to go to 200 right now is a stretch. He competed as low as 56 kilosBeterbiev was doing that. He was doing it in the headgear era. Artur moved up to 200 pounds (that is 22 pounds above Light-Heavy, 178 pounds) and was still rocking fools. I seriously Arlen can go to 178 from 165 (13 pound difference) and do what Artur did at 200 pounds.
Beterbiev is considered one of the hardest punching amateurs of all time, by many, for reason. There were several fighters that were scared to fight Artur because of how hard he hit. One of them was 2008 Olympic Silver medalist, Kenny Egan.
Kovalev wasn't knocking people out though. GGG did KO a good amount of people, but he fought with headgear on. Who knows what type of damage he would have done without headgear.
Lopez definitely has more power than Kovalev. I think it's arguable with GGG. Lopez seems bigger than him so it may give him the edge, but Beterbiev just had monstrous power.
Lopez is not robotic like Artur though and he's faster, so he's going to score great looking KO's.
Either way Lopez is impressive. You can't stay in front of this guy.Comment

"do you know how rare it is to score knockouts in the amateurs even big punchers like GGG, Kova and Beterbiev weren't doing in the AMS what Arlen is doing."
How are you even comparing amateur fights with headgear and no headgear?Comment

It does matter b.c going from 178 to 200 is 22 pounds. Going from 132 as an adult to 165 is a 33 pounds. But I am sure Alren can go to 178 and still hurt people now, that would be a 48 pounds jump.Comment

Lopez was at 132 as a TEENAGER NOT AN ADULT.
What do you mean it doesn't matter? Artur was also fighting at a lower weight when he was a teenager.
You do realize that Zoltan Harcsa has been stopped before right? Lopez didn't do something that has never been done. Khytrov, for example, stopped him in round 1 as well.Comment

Lopez was fighting at 126 as a teenager, he was fighting at 132 as an adult and I didn't just post Zoltan's knockout I said he's 5-0 with 5 kos in his last 5 fights, why is this rubbing you the wrong way btw?Lopez was at 132 as a TEENAGER NOT AN ADULT.

He was 16-17 when he was fighting at 132. Artur was in the 140's when he was 16.
It's not rubbing me the wrong way at all.
I actually remember telling you that I really liked Lopez and you told me you didn't like him a few months ago.
I am just pretty confident that Artur hits harder P4P than Lopez.Comment
