carlos zarate vs orlando canizales

[just the facts]

Certainly would have to favor Zarate here, but don't sleep on Canizales. He was a very skilled boxer with a good punch

ddont count canizales' power out!
he had something like 13/16 KOs in 118 title fights!

Honestly I think canizales gets overrated historically.. Yes he was a great fighter, but compared to other greats, his resume is lacking big meaningful fights.. Guys like lopez, tszyu, always get criticized for their list of opponents yet I think both have better opponents then canizales.. Orlando was a good boxer-puncher, and a legit long term champ, but he never had that "A+" list of opponents that other historical fighters have..
Just my opinion

i cant agree or disagree with you, since I never really followed any of the old fighters, nor do i know many names.
BUT, judging from his style, fluidity and power, i dare say if there were any A+ names on his resume, he'd be ranked higher regardless of win/lose.
