He was very underrated, He always seemed to be so close to winning a title yet he would either lose to a better fighter or just lose a decision that made no sense. Fighters like him don't exist nowadays, simply full of fighting spirit. One of my personal favorites.
Yaqui was one of those rare breeds to have turned in one stellar performance after another but never won a title. He is universally respected and remembered by all fight fans. He competed during a truly exceptional era of light heavyweights.
This is a great post. I met Yaqui at his gym in Stockton, CA in 2019. What a classy guy. He said Galindez was the strongest he faced, Saad Muhammad the toughest, and that James Scott “was on something” when they fought. Yaqui one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing this video.
Bullshit! Dont blame it on there upbringing some human beings are just going to be evil pieces of shit! Nothing anything can do about it ! Satan is in control of them!!
I remember his fight with Saad Muhammad. Can't believe the amount of punishment they inflicted on each other. One of greatest light heavyweight fights of all time.
Thanks for this Rich. Yacqui Lopez was great - he was basically the Latin Saad Muhammad (without the title). Always fought wars, great chin, great warrior. These fights were amazing to watch as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s, and Lopez was a great piece of that light heavyweight scene with Conteh, Saad Muhammad, Rossman, Galindez, Marvin Johnson, Lotte Mwale, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, The Camden Buzzsaw, et al. A Golden Age for sure.
He fought so hard. It was really a pleasure having Yaqui in my life. Glad to see he appears to be doing well. He reminded me of a light heavyweight Bazooka Limon.
This man was a fantastic fighter. I loved to watch him fight. This dude had "Guts" galore, and excellent technique. Unfortunately him came on the scene when the light heavy weight category was stacked with the toughest competition of all time. He always gave as good as he got. Much love "Homes". Peace!
Tremendous video Rich. Today's young fighters should watch this video of Yaqui Lopez ,learn about courage, and develop the humility so lacking in today's big names.
Haven't even watched yet and I know this is going to be great. Yaqui was one of a kind. Saw him fight Matt Franklin at the Spectrum and it was epic. And the rematch was even better! Great choice
I'm new to this channel and want to thank Mr. Historian for all his focus on Detroit. I'm a former kronk member,and I knew all those fighters personally . Bowers,Johnson,Lee,Womack.....ect. There are two other Kronk tragic tales. Alvin (too sweet) Hayes and Mickey Goodwin. I may be able to assist on both if need be. I lived with and sparred Hayes 275 rounds in preparation for his return after prison. And Mick....lol. hell of a guy.
The more of your boxing docos i watch the more i realise that these guys life stories are intertwined with that of others, someone's win is/was always someone else's heartbreaking loss and boxing career spiraling down. Another great one, thanks Rich.
Another excellent boxing documentary and I remembered Yaqui Lopez as a kid. He was a tough fighter and had a strong chin. He should've been a champion but that never say die mentally was priceless.
I think the late 40's through the mid 50's is considered a golden age of boxing but the early 80's was amazing too. Like here. Yaqui Lopez is just one of many of the toughest boxers you will ever see and there seemed to be about 5 guys in each weight division that were like that. Countless of which you have been documenting well, which i applaud. Bang Bang Bogner was the last video i believe. Im so glad i grew up being able to see all these guys fight.
Another winner Rich. I remember Yaqui well. Such a tough guy. Being a boxing fan in the 70's and 80's we were so spoiled. Glad to hear his life turned out well. Thanks again for another great video.
I watched all of Yaqui's fights. I really felt he beat Galindez both times. He should have been the champion. Thanks for the great documentary on Yaqui Lopez! Keep up the great work Rich, I enjoy your channel very much.
@@franksautner I think it was all political. I liked Galindez; however, he did not win those two fights. So glad that Yaqui stayed with his wife and is now helping the youth in Stockton.
I remember Yaqui and he was so much fun to watch. What a warrior. Lots of Lopez fights would be fights of the year. I wont say he was robbed but he did lose some questionable decisions. Great job Rich!
I loved Yaqui back in the day what a fighter that should have been champion. Man Rich I'm so thankful for this channel you have brought back so many great memories. Guys like Yaqui are so hard to beat. Thank you my friend I have loved these documentary more than anything you the man ( the boxing man)
Belt or no belt...this man is a Champion. An inspiring journey and a real role model to the youngsters, how to be a fighter, how to be a man. Rich this was one of your best, thank you so much for it.
Thanks for uploading this great contender. I remember watching all these fights on tv back in the 70's. The era Yaqui fought in had so much talent the list is endless, even the so called club fighters would be top rated today. 4/22/1977 Lopez lost TKO 1st rd due to cut on forehead by Lonnie Bennett, Bennett was about to be ko himself when ref stopped fight. Marvin Johnson had tko Tom Bethea the fight before on the undercard, fight was in Indianapolis & part of series of fights in a tournament that folded-up soon after this fight card. I think it was called North American Boxing Championship was not part of that ABC/Don King/ Ring Magazine/ crap.
Greatly enjoyed watching Yaqui Lopez's career during a golden age of light heavies. If you wanted to know how good a contender or champ was during that era, just match 'em with Lopez. Over the years, a bit has been said about inducting former middleweight contender Bennie Briscoe into Canastota. My retort has always been: If you induct Briscoe, you also have to induct Lopez.....first.
What a great time it was to be a fight fan back then.... Rammed full of Great fighters in every division all willing to fight each other... What an Era this was... As always, another great documentary... Love your channel, such great content 🙏
Great video Rich. It always said Lopez fought in the wrong place at the wrong time even though he fought the best light heavyweights in the golden era. Saad Muhammad kept his word on fighting Lopez in a rematch with Saad Muhammad's WBC light heavyweight title on the line in a memorable fight that they won the 1980 Ring Magazine Fight of the Year beating out the first Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran fight at the "Brawl at Montreal". Lopez was one of the best light heavyweights who never win a world light heavyweight title, but he always be a champion in our minds. Great job and keep it up.
Yaqui was a true warrior. Fought every fight as though his life depended on it. To proud to clinch and back up, he came forward and threw punches in bunches, with elbows tucked in, head low, knees bent, straight, sharp blows. Someone taught him well and he had the courage of a lion. Great fighter!
Brings back memories. It was almost hard to believe that a someone could take the punches Yaqui did. Light heavy weight was a strong division in the 1970s. Yaqui would have won at least one of the many championship belts for each weight class available today. I remember some of his great fights were on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon on CBS for free of course.
I love what you do sir. Bringing exposure to great fighters most people never heard of. Bringing history back into the light. Thank you and keep up the great work sir!
Yaqui Lopez, honestamente para mi, lo sacamos rápidamente de listas hechas por muchos expertos, peleó en una época dura, los jueces le quitaron muchas peleas, a Galíndez le ganó las dos veces, un verdadero guerrero en un peso muy difícil para los latinos, un espectáculo, sus peleas eran verdaderas guerras, parecerá una exageración, sus movimientos eran de un peso welter, era un Monzón con velocidad, verdadero boxeo mejicano, en cuanto al ataque especialmente, lo considero el más grande boxeador mejicano de toda la historia, superando a Chavez y a Sanchez....otros do grandes e inmensos peleadores, con Yaqui Lopez hemos cometido una gran injusticia....!!! Gracias...buen trabajo este....!!!!
Warrior seen all the wars he was in, never backed down from anyone in today’s world of boxing 🥊 he would had definitely been a World Champion with all these four organizational belts it’s good to see that despite all the punishment he took he is still functional and helping out kids too! A Warrior til the end
WOW--ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO RICH.👌 THERE ARE VIDEO NARRATORS THAT WHEN THEY TALK...WE WISH THEY SHOULDN'T AND LET US WATCH THE VIDEO -- HONESTLY,WITH YOUR NARRATING , PUTS THE VIDEO IN A HIGHER LEVEL OF QUALITY!!! 💥👊😁👌
Without a doubt yaqui Lopez was a true boxing warrior. He never knew when he was beaten. He was strong , could throw solid combinations, was ready to fight every minute of every round , and had a solid chin. Sometimes yaqui was to brave for his own good . He gave everything he had in every fight and his opponent always knew they had been in a fight. Yaqui always fought the very best of his time and ducked nobody. His 2 fights with saad Muhammad were wars . He also had 2 fights with galindez who was also a great champion. I actually thought yaqui was unlucky to lose both of them. He also fought John Conteh who was another superb boxer who used his skills to keep yaqui at bay. He beat Mike rossman who was another very good fighter who took the title away from galindez when rossman boxed superbly that night. It was painful for me to watch yaqui when he fought Carlos deleon , yaqui had seen better days by then, but still gave it everything he had. When you think yaqui was in a division that was littered with great fighters , spinks , saad Muhammad, conteh , galindez I honestly belive yaqui Lopez was one of the best fighters never to win a world title. I have a DVD collection of yaqui Lopez that I put together from a number of boxing collectors and when I watch it from time to time , I take my hat off to mr Lopez. A real true fighting man and a true gentleman outside the ring. God bless you yaqui.
I consider myself a reasonably well versed aficionado of boxing history, but every time you make a video I am reminded of the vast holes in my knowledge. Keep up the good work! 🥊
Yet again great video...he was so unlucky but he never complained...and am so glad he is fit and well ..truly inspirational...how about video on Jesse Burnett...
He had thaat issue always leaving himself open for a hook or jab also he was fighting with golden fighters that division was stacked best year during the 70s
He was very underrated, He always seemed to be so close to winning a title yet he would either lose to a better fighter or just lose a decision that made no sense. Fighters like him don't exist nowadays, simply full of fighting spirit. One of my personal favorites.
I may be prejudiced by comparing todays boxers with the past but I feel that Lopez would have won a ton of splintered titles nowadays.
Not underrated. Just lost to the elite in a golden era.
Yaqui was one of those rare breeds to have turned in one stellar performance after another but never won a title. He is universally respected and remembered by all fight fans. He competed during a truly exceptional era of light heavyweights.
When he fought, that light heavyweight division was STACKED!
@@RELopez-mk4ic that was when I knew the Top 10 light heavyweight fighters by name! Too many to mention here!
So glad he wasn't badly damaged mentally from all those wars ! He was definitely a true Warrior!
Nicely said ...
This is a great post. I met Yaqui at his gym in Stockton, CA in 2019. What a classy guy. He said Galindez was the strongest he faced, Saad Muhammad the toughest, and that James Scott “was on something” when they fought. Yaqui one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing this video.

I remember his fight with Saad Muhammad. Can't believe the amount of punishment they inflicted on each other. One of greatest light heavyweight fights of all time.
Yaqui Lopez punched himself out and ran out of gas....he beat the shit out of Saad muhammad
He's my Godfather. I was there. I'll never forget it.
Some thinks their 1st fight Was even better! Before they fougt the world title
@@nolimits1010 you must be very proud. Yaqui Lopez was a GIANT of a fighter!
I agree I watched that fight one of the best fights ever loved to watch him fight he never disappointed

A Golden Age for sure.
The "Golder Age" for the light heavyweight division.
He fought so hard. It was really a pleasure having Yaqui in my life. Glad to see he appears to be doing well. He reminded me of a light heavyweight Bazooka Limon.
Bazooka Limon was a featherweight
@@didiervandijk9713 Yeah, I know. What I mean is if Bazooka were a light heavy, he'd be a lot like Yaqui.
He was Gatti before Gatti. He gave it his all in every fight.
This man was a fantastic fighter. I loved to watch him fight. This dude had "Guts" galore, and excellent technique. Unfortunately him came on the scene when the light heavy weight category was stacked with the toughest competition of all time. He always gave as good as he got. Much love "Homes". Peace!
You said it all my friend I always loved to watch him fight what a great fighter
Fantastic bio Rich. I wish more would end with such a positive post Boxing life.
Me too, Gordon. Thanks for the watch.
Tremendous video Rich. Today's young fighters should watch this video of Yaqui Lopez ,learn about courage, and develop the humility so lacking in today's big names.
That's the truth if I ever heard it.
The display of class was always evident in those days. Both fighters congratulating each other at the end, win or lose.
Thanks, David. Agreed on your point.
Haven't even watched yet and I know this is going to be great. Yaqui was one of a kind. Saw him fight Matt Franklin at the Spectrum and it was epic. And the rematch was even better! Great choice
Proper tough guy.
Should of been champion.
Great fighter to watch.
Thank you Sir.
Thanks Rich
A guy who really deserves to be remembered. What a fighter!!! Old school. Guys like him are not around any more.
Lopez was one of the essential parts of a golden age of light heavies. Thanks for the great memories!
Always loved watching Yaqui Lopez fight! What a Warrior! I'm so proud of him and his wife for still being married 👊
AMEN
Yep. In the end, victorious.
I'm new to this channel and want to thank Mr. Historian for all his focus on Detroit. I'm a former kronk member,and I knew all those fighters personally . Bowers,Johnson,Lee,Womack.....ect.
There are two other Kronk tragic tales.
Alvin (too sweet) Hayes and Mickey Goodwin.
I may be able to assist on both if need be.
I lived with and sparred Hayes 275 rounds in preparation for his return after prison.
And Mick....lol. hell of a guy.
The more of your boxing docos i watch the more i realise that these guys life stories are intertwined with that of others, someone's win is/was always someone else's heartbreaking loss and boxing career spiraling down. Another great one, thanks Rich.
Sure thing, Nick. Good observation about how intertwined a lot of these stories are.
Hey this is cool that you made a doc about Yaqui , the boss man a really down to earth person
There are some outstanding boxing channels on UA-cam but Rich your channel is the finest, can’t thank you enough.
Thanks GR, I truly appreciate your support.

My pleasure, Sean, thanks for watching.
What an excellent mini documentary Rich. Thoroughly enjoyable. As good as the Matthew Franklin doc, imo. Props to you. Bless up bro 🥊
The way he fought reminds me of Carlos Monzón. They even look alike. Both were amazing fighters!
Great fighter in the two belt era during the Golden age of the light heavyweights
I didn’t see López fight until UA-cam but man he became a favorite. Great body puncher & an absolute warrior!
Love & respect, to Yaqui Lopez....a true warrior! Love & respect, from the UK.
I love stories like this, thanks👍
Sure thing, Hairy John.
I watched all of Yaqui's fights. I really felt he beat Galindez both times. He should have been the champion. Thanks for the great documentary on Yaqui Lopez! Keep up the great work Rich, I enjoy your channel very much.
I hear you, I saw his fights with Galindez and felt Yaqui deserved both decisions too….. no breaks for Lopez,ever….
@@franksautner I think it was all political. I liked Galindez; however, he did not win those two fights. So glad that Yaqui stayed with his wife and is now helping the youth in Stockton.
Thanks for watching, RE. Yaqui was a champion in my book.
I remember Yaqui and he was so much fun to watch. What a warrior.
Lots of Lopez fights would be fights of the year. I wont say he was robbed but he did lose some questionable decisions.
Great job Rich!
I also like a how a loss did not ruin your career and it made for some great trilogies.
I loved Yaqui back in the day what a fighter that should have been champion. Man Rich I'm so thankful for this channel you have brought back so many great memories. Guys like Yaqui are so hard to beat. Thank you my friend I have loved these documentary more than anything you the man ( the boxing man)
Thanks, Ron. Yes, what a determined fighter Yaqui was.
Another excellent vid Rich , Lopez certainly was a real warrior .
Belt or no belt...this man is a Champion. An inspiring journey and a real role model to the youngsters, how to be a fighter, how to be a man.
Rich this was one of your best, thank you so much for it.
Always a pleasure, Get Smart
Smartest Boxer I know of ! Lives a low key life and purchased his homes outright ! Competent human right here ! ❤ .
Wow this is a great upload, thanks mate ❤ He was a all action boxer. 🎉

Same here! So many don't.
What a courageous fighter! I recall seeing him on TV--never a backward step ...
Thanks for the amazing video Rich ❤
My pleasure, John.
Great documentary Lopez had a a lot heart. I remember seeing all his fights
Such a hard-luck fighter, he always gave it his all. One of my favorites from this era.
This was a touching and nice tribute to Yaqui López a great fighter and warrior. Thanks I enjoyed watching this!
My pleasure, almodovar251

Thanks very much, Millsy
Glad to be coached by this guy 💯
Way to go Rich...great work. Thanks for those memories.
Thank you, Fernando.
I remember him well. He distinguished himself during boxing’s heyday. That light-heavyweight division was probably the most stacked of all-time
Nice video. He was 💯💯💯. Tough.

Excellent documentary on Yaqui López!
Magnifique documentaire. Quel travail vous faites !!.
what a tough man to still have his facilities after all those wars . A great life and career
Today I learned about Yaqui Lopez... pure pugilism and will... I leave humbled and focused on my journey in life... thanks again Rich.
My pleasure, R4lee444
So glad I got to go watch Yaquis fights on the "party bus". Love Yaqui and his family.
Love and respect Yaqui ❤️

You keep digging up these gems, dude.
Yo creo que en la actualidad no hay de esa calidad de boxeadores. Yaqui López sería campeón en la actualidad.
Great video Lopez you are a champion no matter what
Good guy, GOOD story, and as usual GREAT VIDEO RICH.😊

GREAT FIGHTER 👍🙋♀️
Don't know about Yaqui but he certainly was a gun slinger, very exciting fighter !
I consider myself a reasonably well versed aficionado of boxing history, but every time you make a video I am reminded of the vast holes in my knowledge.
Keep up the good work! 🥊
Thank you, Anthony.
Tremendous heart !.
In boxing magazine somewhere in the eighties Yaqui Lopez was called the best boxer to never win a world title.
He would have been a world champion in this era!
Yet again great video...he was so unlucky but he never complained...and am so glad he is fit and well ..truly inspirational...how about video on Jesse Burnett...
Thanks, Stacey. I'll think about Burnett.
Another great rich
U the man
I grew up with Rossman
He still around in AC
You should come do a documentary on him before he is lost in translation….
Could u do BOOM BOOM Mancini ❤
please
He is a champion, indeed
He had thaat issue always leaving himself open for a hook or jab also he was fighting with golden fighters that division was stacked best year during the 70s
Rich, I was wondering if you could help me find any boxing film on my uncle Hildo Silva, who fought Yaqui Lopez
Great work rich👏👏👏...... On a another forgotten fighter , anybody know what became of Lynn ball 🤔
Thanks, Joe. I'll have to look into Lynn Ball.
Both Galindez fights Lopez was tentative in the 15th round
I would love to see Canelo Alvarez just once fighting like Yaqui Lopez.
Great Fighter
Great Post lopez was an aztec warrior great era in lightheavy weight boxing ,a very tough man would of won the title in the 90s or 2000s no doubt .
Oh, I forgot to add, he was also robbed several times!
Lovely
He gave Franklin hell..twice I think.
