Hmmm.... Lopez is probably the only one outta the crop of late 70's-early 80's light heavys that I'd pick Joe over. Thats to say... I dont think Joe could beat Spinks, Conteh, Saad, Galindez, Eddie Mustafa, Qawi, or Marvin Johnson. I think Joe is given a tough fight by Lopez, but pulls out a decision
why would you pick Calzaghe? Lopez would be far and away the best light heavy he ever faced... I'll take a guy who came within a hair of being a champion in one of the toughest eras in the division's history over a guy who's best win was a rather sloppy unanimous decision over a 90 year old man who threw 5 punches a round Calzaghe would have died against some of the men Lopez was in there with
