    Based on pure skills alone who do you think is more skilled out of the two? And how do you rate both of their skills?

    BOth techinichal wizards... For as great as Mccallum looked,,I thought Lopez looked smoother.. However Mccallum fought better competition so not as easy to look as perfect... I think Lopez is the more accurate puncher and harder puncher pfp.. Mccallum was someimes bothered by smooth guys... WHere as Finito diidnt have problems with quick,mobile boxers.. Grigsby is one example of a speedy boxer who Finito pretty much dominated even in his older age... Ony one i ever saw give Finito problems was Alvarez who was strong,hardhitting and crowded him.. However Finito handled all the other aggressive punchers like SOrjaturong,Nene with ease... Im going with FIntio who for the exception of one opponent never really had trouble figuring any one out.. The difference in punching power might have someting to do with it,although Mccallum could bang at Jm he wasn just a repectable/above average puncher at MW.

    McCallum is much more varied and intuitive. Adaptable also.

    Probably McCallum. Lopez was more perfect though.
