Mythical Matchup: Ricardo ' Finito Lopez VS Jung Koo Chang aka The Korean Hawk

Lopez has a big height and reach edge here, and he's a technician's technician. In addition Lopez is the hardest punching straw weight I've ever seen. Some of his Ko's would make mike Tyson nod his head.

Chang was a speedy wizard, but he did not have a lot of power, and he needs to get in close to score.

I'll take Lopez via late round TKO here.

 

I think Chang beats him 99/100 times. This is the worst stylistic match-up for Lopez out there!!!

 

Chang deserves the credit he gets here though, man.imo this is one of the great Flyweight matchups.

 

Well i agree that Chang does deserve credit and should be in the HOF but when i start hearing Chang getting higher props than Lopez i have to strongly disagree and state that for as great as chang was Lopez was the better man and would have made chang Pay dearly the way he swarms in.Hed give Lopez hell for a while but like I stated before it would catch up to him.Maybe like aminature Ali Fraizer but Chang didnt have Fraizers power(PFP) and Lopez hit way harder than Ali(pfp). Maybe that comparison isnt accurate cause Lopez didnt Move like Ali. Maybe Arguello Pryor but a light punching Pryor wouldnt have beat Arguello hell even the Hard punching one needed the black bottle in the first fight.

 

Chang would've mowed Lopez down over the distance and won a competitive but commanding decision. Stylistically he's all wrong for Lopez, who never showed much of an inside game.

 

Chang by UD imo.
