    Who ranks higher as an atg doesnt meant who was the better fighter its whose accomplishments are better...
    That being said finito would be regarded as the goat if he was at lw or up lol

    This thread might hold some merit after Nonito's career has been completed as of now it's Finito hands down.

    Bump.
    Lopez has the prettier looking record but Donaire has the better competition and jumped up in weights. If Donaire miraculously wins against Inoue then he has to be ranked over Finito for sure, if he isn't already.

    Donaire. Not even close. Lopez is stupid overrated. 5 weight champ versus 2. Lopez defeated nobody, fought in ghost divisions with no talent, avoided other champs like Carbajal or Johnson. Donaire has a good long list of names: Darchinyan, Arce, Narvaez, Montiel, Nishioka. Nothing about this is close in terms of accomplishments. All Lopez has going for him is that 0 and the eye test. An 0 doesn't mean **** if you never fought anybody.

    I’m gonna roll with Donaire. His quality of opposition beaten dwarfs Lopez’s, pun intended.

    Completely agreed. I wouldn't even say theres much in it H2H. Lopez had huge trouble with Alvarez. Nishioka alone is better than Lopez's entire resume.

    Lopez easily.

    Don't remember ever seeing Nonito on any 100 atg list.

    The last time I bothered was a couple years ago and I don't think Nonito has done anything in that time to merit being on that list since.
    If you know of one I'd li to see it.

    If Donaire KO1 Inoue then he will be an ATG who can be compared with Manny Pacquiao & Ricardo Lopez

    Ricardo Lopez is the last natural ATG, in the modern Ped-Era he would have been a 10 division chiseled Welterweight (maybe catches a few loses like Pacman)
