At his prime at 105 lbs (Minimumweight), I think only Chocolatito, Kazuto Ioka, and maybe Donnie Nietes are the only three who would have had a chance of beating him historically in the category. At 108 lbs (Light Flyweight) he is not on his prime anymore but still a highly skilled boxer, with some high levels wins with Will Grigsby, Ratanapol Sor Vorapin and Zolani Petelo. I personally think Humberto González, Naoya Inoue, Chocolatito and Myung Woo Yuh are the only who had a chance of beating him in the category historically. What do you think ??
I think even a fading Lopez could still beat Gonzalez. Don't think he'd beat a prime Jung Koo Chang, though.
Hard to envision any fighter from 105 who can beat Lopez. At 108 however there's some notable fighters who I can see potentially beating him. Roman Gonzalez Jung Koo Chang Hilario Zapata Myung Woo Yuh Yoko Gushiken Juan Francisco Estrada Kazuto Ioka
I completed the list for 108 lbs (Light Flyweight) , these boxers would have a chance of beating Ricardo Lopez, do you agree? - Roman Gonzalez "Chocolatito" - Jung Koo Chang - Kazuto Ioka - Hilario Zapata - Myung Woo Yuh - Yoko Gushiken - Humberto Gonzalez - Naoya Inoue - Jorge Arce - Iván Calderón
Sorry, I should have specified. I'm not referring to Chocolatito. I was referring to Humberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez. Ramon is at the very very least a live dog at both weights and I think I might well favor him at 108, yeah.
