anyone recommend any of his fights to watch? I'm talking break through, career defining, epic or gut check fights - all of them! regards HMS
Ohashi was one of his best opponents. Straw' champ, who faced the greatest light fly of all time twice (and gave a post-'retirement' Chang some hassle 2nd time round) and who Lopez displays his textbook perfection against. Ohashi has a deceptive record: pushed early, he would go on to take the WBA version of the title again. Clinical.

Lopez lost a fight as a amateur. But they changed that fact - once he went so long undefeated as a pro to make it look like he had never been beaten.
I'm just pointing out a nugget of information alot of people overlook. If you look through Lopez amaeur and pro records it shows him as undefeated. But he had a 1 loss against his amateur record for years - until it magically was rubbed off his amateur record when he was a long undefeated pro.
