"Little Red" is Danny Lopez, the Featherweight champion. Ricardo "Finito" Lopez, the undefeated Straweight and Jr.Flyweight champion, is one of the greatest fighters of all-time. I personally would put him no higher than roughly 55, but no lower than 70-80. He was unrealisticly dominant throughout his career, 10 year reign as champion and no one except his final opponent at 105lbs, Rosendo Alvarez, was even remotely competitive. The problem is, that even though Alvarez was a bigger man and fought a faded Lopez, he's clearly the best fighter Lopez ever fought and gave him a lot of problems, putting the only blemish (a technical draw) on Lopez' record and making the rematch pretty close. All in all, he beat virtually everyone in his division in one-sided fashion except for Alvarez, has the win over Alvarez who was an excellent fighter, never lost in his 52-fight career, was arguably the most overall dominant champion in boxing history with 20+ defenses, won a belt at 108lbs and defended it twice, and was as close to technical perfection as you will ever see in a boxer. He's quite tough to rank, but I think anywhere from 55 to about 75 is justifiable.
Danny Lopez? I don't consider him an all-time great, but he was a very good fighter. Tremendous puncher for a featherweight, some good wins over Ruben Olivares, Chucho Castillo, David Kotey, Sean O'Grady, and Octavio Gomez. I've never made a list past 100 and I made that list a while ago, but I really don't see the argument for Little Red to be included on a top 100. He was however, one of the most exciting fighters ever. As I said in my first post, Ricardo is the great Lopez.
