    Little Red Lopez by KO in 3. The hardest hitter besides Pipino, I ever saw. And a great champ. It took the great Sanchez to take away his crown.

    Danny would hit the deck first though. And I thought prime McGuigan was awesome. I would take him in 15 by body crushing KO over Azumah.

    I was a fan of Barry's, ...but I think Danny would have crushed him....and without a trip to the canvas along the way. McGuigan wasn't that explosive a puncher. Lopez ko 7 Mcguigan.

    I gotta disagree with that sentence.

    Nelson would have outclassed and KO'd McGuigan.

    I tend to think of Julian Jackson as the biggest puncher I ever saw, but Lopez is definitely up there.

    Danny by KO. If it's outdoors in a Vegas parking lot, its a KO5. If it's inside Barry gets to the championship rounds.
