I'm not seeing the comparison?I get Juan Manuel Marquez vibes from Lopez. His style was TaylorMade to beat Loma. He'd probably struggle or lose to other top guys.
I can see because both are counter-punchers who are not the pot-shotter kind but rather the ones that enjoy taking your head off but they are also different in other ways. JMM didn't have Lopez's explosive bursts and athleticism in general and Lopez doesn't have JMM's combination punching, he isn't as much in his element in a dog fight as JMM used to be.I'm not seeing the comparison?
Marquez was arguably the 2nd best counterpouncher of his time behind Floyd Mayweather. Skill for skill, Lopez doesn't come close. That's just not a comparison that would have entered my head. But yes Lopez isn't just a pot shot type of fighter, he is going to take your head off. But outside of that that is where the comparison ends. Lopez power, athleticism and hand speed bail him out of situations that Marquez could get out of without needing it.I can see because both are counter-punchers who are not the pot-shotter kind but rather the ones that enjoy taking your head off but they are also different in other ways.
