    To be fair, it's probably guys who started watching boxing recently and have never seen Lopez fight

    It's just a shame that Lopez never fought Carbajal or Gonzalez, or even Arbachakov or Johnson. As it was, he had one of the most dominant reigns in the history of boxing, and at times looked like the most complete fighter of the 90s.

    FINITO! IMO, the best combination puncher in the history of the sport (or top 3 definitely; the two Sugar's arguably were better). . . Watch him throw them hands! It's like a pendulum of perfection - the left, and right transition with flawless balance, and timing. . .

    He's classic Nacho Beristain trained fighter - you can see some of his work in other fighters like Marquez, and even Mares - in their combination punching.


    But after Finito, it's Calzaghe. . . He's at a not too distant second.

    For me, Azumah Nelson is WAAAAAAAAAAY ahead of everyone else on that list. Not even remotely close.

    Nelson overall.

    Finito had the best ability IMO.
