Put these little guys in order of greatness.

Laciar was also very good and a long reigning champ.

 

hey addie you act like these guys could just come inside at will without getting any heat in return. Sounds like you talk about Lopez as if he was some average puncher. Lopez was a very sharp puncher, he knocked out a lot of guys.

 

Why do you rank Yuh above those guys? Outside of the fact that he's had a lot of attention on these forums recently, of course.

 

Here would be my list.

Jung-Koo Chang
Ricardo Lopez
Hilario Zapata
Yoko Gushiken
Sung-Kil Moon
Gilberto Roman
Myung-Woo Yuh
Humberto Gonzalez
Michael Carbajal

 

Chang over Lopez? Reasons? I just don't see it......

 

The wins over Roman and Zapata were circumstantial because they were done by that point, but the two knockout wins over Konadu certainly weren't. The only fighter he lost to anywhere near his prime was Khaokor, who he'd previously beaten by technical decision due to a headbutt from Khaokor that stopped the fight (Moon was up on the cards at the time). The two wins over Konadu and his KO streak against the top contenders of the era hold him in high esteem for me, as ugly as he may have been to watch.

 

I just thought he was a more impressive fighter, and he proved it against better competition, even when past his prime. I'd favor him in a bout between the two, in fact I'd bet money on it.

 

Interesting.....I feel Lopez was the more impressive and skilled fighter aswell as being the greater and more consistet fighter. I would of bet heavy money on Lopez beating Chang......

 

He was obviously going to be more consistent against the hapless opposition he routinely faced. But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I think Chang would've swarmed all over the very textbook correct Lopez in a similar manner to how Harada did Jofre.

 

Not a strong one, but you could make the case depending on your criteria, such as if you simply favor consistency and title defenses over dominance and quality of opposition.
