Ricardo Lopez doesn’t get enough respect

[Dip_Slide]

Let me put it this way, skillwise, not heart or mental toughness ir acommplishments-wise, Juan Manuel Marquez, as great and skillful as he was, was nothing but a bootleg poor man version of Ricardo Lopez. That's how out of this world I think his skillset was. I watched him fight hundreds of times and would play entire fights at .25x to even understand what he's doing because he was that fast.

Based on what? Not a chance in hell.

From having a better resume and accomplishing more beating bigger and better fighters.

No fighter in Lopez' resume is better than Srisaket Sor Rungvisai.

I agree that Ricardo Lopez' resume doesn't match up to his skill level, but how can you say that non of his opponents was better than Rungvusai? And how could you say that Gonzalez' beats Lopez? Styles make fights, we'll never know. But as far as resume's and career, i give Gonzalez the edge because he fought at several weight divisions and accomplished more, doesn't mean he'd win if they would've fought.

Competition wasn’t weak he just made them look weak kind of like when Roy Jones was at 160 everyone looked weak had he went up to 108 112 115 and maybe 118 he would be consider an all time great but he spent to much time at 105 should have used steroids like other boxers who move up in weight

Ummm Gonzalez didn't beat Rungvisai. Epic fail!

Lopez has just as good of a resume and maybe better

I honestly don’t think he does get any respect, I have seen british and American boxers with weaker resumes who get massive respect from boxing fans.

Lopez never lost a boxing match as an amateur or professional.

He defended his lineal boxing championship 21 times before moving up and winning a title in a second weight class.

During the coronavirus, there have been a lot of threads on boxers from the 1990s, yet I never see him mentioned.

He was amazing and deserves a thread.

He fought in some of the smallest weight classes...how many people you know watched him regularly?

He was a good fighter though.

Finito VS Chocolatito would be on my "Greatest PPV Of All Time" fantasy card.

LOL, could you Imagine???

He had a close fight with Rungvisai and should have gotted the nod, and then another, Carlos Cuadras and Juan Fransisco Estrada, who defeated Rungvisai.

His resume is pale compared to the monsters that Roman Gonzalez defeated.

Lil guys never get as much respect. He was a bad mofo fo sho doe.
