    Two guys roughly on the same level - the secondary class of bantamweight greats. Not the class of Jofre, Olivares, Harada, Zarate, but still greats.

    One thing for sure, Chandler had a better resume.

    Who wins though?

    I think Chandler beats Canizales by decision but it’ll be a great chess match. Chandlers size and range gives Canizales issues.

    This is weird. I was driving home yesterday and started laughing,, thinking about how Cdogg187 used to call Jeff Chandler "That blue eyed devil." And what had led up to that hilarious nickname.

    It was this exact match up being discussed. That was at least 15 years ago. Then it pops up again today.
