Weak Chins That Haven't Been Discussed To Death

Ok ill admit im a big Lopez fan,when i was a kid me and the family would sometimes bump into him once in a blue moon as he was a hometown guy (next city over) he even use to do morning road work at my old high school(from what i Here).
But even though i might show favortism towards him that Comment on his chin was totally false. Only thing more ridicelous would be if they said he couldnt punch that hardnut Crazy ass ESB posters!!

 

i was a fan of lopez too.how could you not be

 

I loved Charlie Magri, what an exciting little fighter. :good

 

:goodhe was.he was on tv a bit back.he about 13st now and his nose is still getting wider

 

Ray Arcel and a 50 yr generation of fans and sportswriters are turnin' over in their graves.:bbb

 

Lopez, along w/ Cuevas, was the hardest puncher I ever saw. And sanchez was NOT a hard puncher. In a lot of the mags back then he was on the featherfisted list. Like Lopez said after his lost. Salvador didn't hit hard, he just peppered Danny to death and he had tremendous accuracy and fairly good volume. He also had the stamina it said to recover w/in 47 second of the minutes rest between rd. especially in the late rds (which is 12-15 for those not born then) and came out fresh while his opponant was spent. But he was never considered a hard puncher anymore than a young Ali who had a good ko record. The punch you don't see kos you and sanchez was great at this. Pedroza would beat him though. Is Lopez still working for the pipe company putting pipes in ditches.I thought i read somewhere he did this for a living.:dead

Lopez was down quite a bit in his career. Most often he came back to win. However, due to the number of times he went down I attribute it to a soft chin.

 

I think it's unfair to say Bruno had a weak chin.

He took plenty of bombs from Witherspoon, Lewis and Tyson (x2) and was stopped on his feet each time.

He could certainly take a punch, it was what he did aterwards that ****ed him.

I'm not so sure Witter had a granite beard either. He was stuck on his arse heavily by Tim Bradley and was hanging on..... he hasn't faced that many good punchers for someone to rate his chin, in fairness. Clearly not glass jawed, but not McCall-esque.

 

Norm Goins said his chin wasn't so bad, but that if Howard Davis, Jr. was hit on the temple he could find easily himself on the deck. He made Vilomar Fernandez look like Joe Frazier, and while Vilomar could hit when he chose to, he was generally considered the lightest punching contender of his day. When he dropped Howard with a hook in the second round, me and my brothers couldn't believe it! ("Awww, man! He can't take a punch from anybody!")

 

You're not very agreeable are you?

I dont know what you want me to say, all British fighters have **** chins? That seems to be what you're aiming at.

 

Well you're f'n way off.

Watch some of Lopez's fights rather than looking through Boxrec and you will see the beard he possesed.
