Someone explain this to me, because the only one I can come up with right now is... David Lopez is a Golden Boy fighter. Golden Boy owns Ring.
boxrec has him at #16 but some of the fighters ahead of him are just flat out terrible too so it may not be a huge stretch
His record is very decieving. He is a lot better than it suggests. That being said I will forever question the impartiality of the Ring rankings now that GBP owns the magazine.
Hes beaten a few mid level guys Mobley,Marks,Mendoza,Davis he KOed him when Judah didnt. But still he shouldnt even break a top 15. His last fight agianst real quality Zuniga stopped him.
