Well Brian he was fighting within his own weight.  You can't expect
him to take on Lightweights or higher.  He never lost to anyone they
put in front of him in 51 fights.  Better than Marciano.  From a pure
boxing aspect, ignoring weight and looking at only the skill of
boxing, it's hard to argue against Lopez being the best in the last 15
years.  Pernell Whitaker is someone you could make a case for using
the same criteria, but Lopez still was better, IMO.
