    Styles heavily favour Lopez IMO, but obviously Saldivar is so much better, it could not make a difference.

    Who wins?

    Danny has a puncher's chance, but I think Saldivar is way too quick and dynamic for him.

    If they fought 10 times, maybe 2 times Lopez catches him and bombs him out, but 80-90% of the time Saldivar would beat the living shit outta him.

    Funny that you posted this, as I rewatched Lopez-Olivares last night.

    I maintain that Lopez was quicker than he gets credit for.

    By time he fought Mike Ayala in 79 he was a sloth, but he was pretty damn quick and deadly in the Olivares fight.

    I've actually watched three Lopez fights today. I've got three more I want to watch tonight. I've also watched Saldivar vs Shibata, Legra and Winstone (II).

    I've always thought Olivares or Hafey were his best performances.

    I think Saldivar dices him up and serves him out a platter, but when Lopez went down, you'd shit yourself when he got up.

    The Hafey fight showed that its a suicide mission to just come straight in on Lopez.

    Chacon and Sanchez countered him with nuance.

    Really? I would've thought Lopez matches up with Saldivar similar to how Ramos did.

    Yeah, I dont see Saldivar as good for Lopez at all.

    A much better matchup is Ramos vs Lopez.
