Lopez loved knocking out Thai fighters. Four of them were knocked out when they tried to challenge his World Title (WBC Straw weight) including Samarn S. Jatuarong who knocked out Humberto Gonsalez. So, Menayothin can't survive through 12 rounds against Lopez either.
Ricardo too fundamentally exceptional, big and powerful for Wanheng. Would be a great fight but I got Ricardo by KO.
Ricardo by a later KO, in a fun technical bout. Ricardo never had a strong resume though, and his level of talent was great, which pisses me off a bit when he could have competed against the strong light fly and fly division. He clearly had the frame and skills for it, even if he tasted a loss. The same thing is actually happening with Big Wang, though to be fair he is naturally smaller. Imagine Lopez vs Chang or Arbachakov, Yuh, Carbajal etc? Some of the great fights that could've been. And now, imagine Wanheng against Kyoguchi, Kenshiro and the top contenders etc?
Reas the title fast and was thinking Lopez by far but didn’t even notice the ridiculous 2020 lol. Come on man...
