Rank these fighters: Ricardo Lopez, Ivan Calderon, Roman Gonzalez

1.Gonzalez, 2. Lopez, 3. Calderon

 

Mad mad love for Calderon but he's at the bottom of the trio, for sure.

 

Lopez
Gonzalez
Calderon

 

1.Lopez, 2.Gonzales, 3.Calderon Lopez was the perfect Boxer IMO. He would have gotten more recognition had he fought in this day in age vs when the Heavyweights rules the 85-00 (early) era.

 

Agreed! He was a textbook example of how a fighter should fight and his style is extremely difficult to imitate in my opinion. It’s a shame a lot of the little fighters didn’t get as much exposure in that era...

 

@105
#1 Ricardo Lopez
----Gap-----
#2a Ivan Calderon
#2b Roman Gonzalez

Ivan Calderon defensive skills are extremely underrated despite the consecutive title defenses at 105, Roman vs Calderon would have been an excellent match up. Calderon being very short depended a lot on skillful reflexes to make up for his size disadvantage, so his prime is 18yo-23yo, Roman will try to stop him late but a decision should go for Calderon

Ricardo Lopez stops both, both Roman & Gonzalez been stopped...Ricardo size will be the main advantage, as all of the 3 are masterful boxers

 

He fought like Roman Gonzalez, except he was taller, had a better chin & punched Harder

 

I would pick El Finito, and then the other two.

I've always been a big fan of El Finito López. I remember his boxing style to be so clean and neat, and smart as F. I love this kind of boxing. It's been ages since the last time I watched any of his fights. I'll look for some of them and rewatch them.

 

Something Crispy Clean about his style, an Undefeated version of Alexis Arguello

 

Ricardo Lopez was boxing 101, really good fighter....................
