    Lopez virtually cleaned out his division, What if he moved up to 115 for the ultimate challenge. A prime Johnny Tapia, which just defeated Romero. 12 Rounds. A prime, heavily motivated Tapia is a very daunting challenge for any fighter.

    I think you're going up too far for Lopez. Tapia fought up to Featherweight against Barrera.

    Tapia is way too big.

    even though he was past his prime, look at how Lopez relatively struggled against the first guy he fought that was clearly stronger than him- Alvarez.

    Johnny Tapia was a great fighter in his prime. As much as I like Lopez I think he loses this one because of the weight difference. A better fight would have been Tapia vs Pacquiao
