    Of course Lacys shoulder was mush by the time Jones went "captain hook" on his ass and his soul taken, but Roy looked better than ever right? Calaghe better watch out!

    ricardo lopez was ringside at the mares/gonzales fight and ppl were lining up for pics and autographs. when they announced him to the crowd...the place erupted. he's still very popular and highly revered.

    Among boxers as well. From what I understand, Floyd and Roy Jones Jr(among many others) considered Finito as one of their favorite fighters!

    Ricardo Lopez is the most popular retired Undefeated fighter of the last half century. He is respected by Boxing fans & also recognized by casuals in Mexico, Latin America, Japan & South Korea...They still remember him winning & defending the WBC title in their countries couple of times...

    In recent years, I was really hoping to be able to add Ivan Calderon and Chris John to this list...
