    Any thoughts about how a match up would go between Thunder and The Tiger at Super Featherweight? No doubt that this would have been a brutal fight. Lopez is the better boxer while Gatti has the power to hurt Lopez bad.

    This would be a good fight. Kinda like Lopez but I wouldn’t place any bets. Two badass little dudes who liked to brawl

    I think Lopez probably wins this after a few shaky moments dealing with Gatti's power

    A lot of overrating of Gatti in this thread.

    Lopez was a much better fighter.

    Lopez by UD or late stoppage.

    I'm gonna go with Tony Lopez. I have faith in his chin. That could be a mistake but I gotta rep for the 916 this time.

    Yes. Lopez would outbox him and, at the very least, fight him to a standstill toe to toe.
