Orlando Canizales at bantamweight was the complete package. He had KO power with beautiful technique. Canizales had amazing footwork and a killer instinct. Check out his title fight with Kevin Seabrook for a great example of the "sweet science", hit, not get hit and hit again.

How many pressure fighters will ever be able to win titles from 126-147 and be able to hang with middleweights
Most pressure fighters don't do well moving up in weight or fighting certain styles
he went on a tear with over 50 wins and close to that amount of knockouts fighting very good opposition
Add into the fact he had fast legs, great head movement, a great chin, and could roll punches very well, didn't smother his work, could throw every punch in the book.....he is the prototype of a pressure fighter
