    I will take Lopez by UD or TKO.Lopez was a very skill fighter(better than Carlderon)and had lot more power than him.

    Who do you think win's and why?

    Calderon by KO. Lopez is too limited.

    Lopez.

    Everything Lopez does is about being effective, when he throws he wants to score a punch and hurt you. When on the defensive he was efficient and calculated. Had a great sense of the ring and how to use it to his best advantage. When Lopez fought it was like he went through the round ticking off the 4 criteria for scoring a round as he went along as if to make sure he had fulfilled them all by the end of a round.

    Calderon is a brillant athlete but I think people mistake this talent and athleticism for true skill, which Lopez had coming out his ears. Calderon can spend extended periods in a fight not being effective, not scoring all that clean and basically just jumping around making the other guy look bad but not necessarily doing a whole lot to dominate the fight.

    Lopez is too complete to lose to Calderon. Finito's power would be the difference here.

    LOL, clearly sarcasm. Yeah I like Lopez by mid round ko. I think he would adjust to Calderons style and knock him out.

    JMM is the poor man's version of Lopez, and that is that I have JMM at P4P#1 at the moment. Calderon just barely outside my top 10. Do the math.

    I'd take Lopez by complete KO.

    Comparing Calderon to Finito is a cardenal sin he was head and shoulder above the rest a master boxer with lethal power with one of the best record both profesional and amateur.

    No offense intended to Calderon, but everything he does, Finito does better.

    Ricardo by stoppage.

    This better be a joke. If it isn't I suggest you watch some videos of a prime Lopez, he puts Calderon to shame.
