the main reason is because he was smaller than most dude's girlfriends were in high school. fighters of that size are almost never mainstream.
in fact, until ray leonard came around, most of the top 10 most popular fighters in american boxing were the top 10 HW. really good ring article on this if you care to look abck into the archives. ray robinson was the first guy to really break into the mainstream outside of HW. HW have always drawn casuals in. the fights are just more exciting for them, and easier for them to understand, especially from the back row in a big arena, the way lots of big HW fihts have been viewed historically.
lopez was a great fighter, tons of skill, great record. still not as great as floyd mayweather.

Was it because you didn't know he has a draw and wanted to correct the mainstream sports media Or, is it because you hate Floyd so much that you will go to these lengths to downplay his record because you saw the mainstream media celebrate it?
Either way you don't come off as a serious boxing fan.
