Who would win in this match up at light heavyweight between two of the great contenders who challenged multiple times for the major light heavyweight titles but failed to win? Would Lopez dominate the fight with his power to settle for a decision or Fourie boxes him behind his jab and movement to take a decision?

Loved Lopez, another great LHW from the 70's. I would pick Fourie to outbox the "indian" like John Conteh did. When you win as many fights as Fourie, and hit like butterfly, you have to be a great boxer.

That would be a great strategy for Fourie to win a decision over Lopez.
