Re: Ricardo Lopez is the Greatest Fighter of the last 15 Years

While below description of Lopez opposition level is idiotic, I am not sure
I can rank Lopez as *the* greatest of the last 15 years. Even in his native
Mexico he wasn't as popular as Chavez or even Barrera. And while popularity
does not correlate with quality, I think a mix of popularity and quality is
necessary to be "the greatest of the last 15 years".

One of my favorite fighters to watch, ever. One of the best to strap on
gloves, ever. Flawless style, a true case study for aspiring boxers: watch
and learn, *that* is what it's supposed to look like. But *the* greatest?
His career sadly was a tad too low profile for that, blame it on the weight
or the management.
