    I'll take Mitchell. He beat Lopez twice who beat Molina twice, so...

    Mitchell was just a very complete fighter, clever, slick boxer, probably the best we S.Africans have had.

    Oh, yeah, the first Lopez fight was judged a draw, forgot that. IMO it was pretty clear Mitchell took the decision.

    I haven't seen the Molina/Lopez fights but I know the two Lopez won were very close on the scorecards. Were either of them considered a robbery at all?

    It would be a competitive fight. I think Mitchell was more resilent and a little better defensively and would win a close UD or a Split Decision

    Tony Lopez was the best 130 lb fighter either of these guys ever fought and Molina fought him when he was abolute prime, beating him once. Mitchell beat Lopez when Lopez was starting to slide a bit. Still, I think Mitchell was a little better than both Lopez and Molina, but not by much.
