Ingemar Johansson and Barry McGuigan are Hall of famers for example. Bobby Chacon too is better than Lopez. Nelson went on to have a great career but was totally unestablished in 1982.
I like Danny Lopez a lot but I’m not sure he was better than Famechon, Winstone, Legra, Laguna and Ramos to name a few of Vicente Saldivar’s best opponents. He had more defenses than those guys but he didn’t have to go through Saldivar or Jofre for his title. He was stopped by Fukuyama around the time an old Jofre blasted Fukayama and also split bouts with Octavio Gomez around the time a 40 year old Jofre outpointed him. Famechon, Legra, Winstone probably have too much mobility, speed and skills for Lopez. Laguna of course went on to become a great lightweight champion.
