    @ 147. Would have been nice to have seen this fight in the 90s. Any thoughts on how this would have turned out? Definitely a fun scrap had they fought.

    It's tempting to think this fight would go the way of Carr vs. Campas. But I think Lopez had a little more nuance to his game than Campas. Not to mention more one-punch power. So I think Lopez loses several rounds but manages to hurt Carr often enough that even if he doesn't outright stop him, he still wins.

    Carr would be winning until the everyone's favorite underachieving welterweight catches him. Carr may get off the hook for a while but eventually he takes too much punishment and is stopped.

    Just read that Carr is now wheelchair bounded cause of boxing. What a terrible sport
