    Probably a very makable fight around then. Might be a good scrap

    Would have loved to see this one. A true 50/50 fight but I would lean towards the grit and toughness of Lopez to outlast the brute power of Mercardo.

    Would love to know the thoughts of the late great Leon Spinks. He fought an absolute classic with Lopez and Knocked out Mercado.

    I was thinking about that too. Lopez generally did better against the common opponents that they had

    Lopez, in all honesty, may score a decision win. Like stated, would be a good scrap.
