    The two greatest Mexicans below 118. Who wins?

    2 of Mexico's best tiny men, the pure boxer vs boxer puncher. It's a very close fight. Stylistically Canto's clever boxing and movement can pose a very difficult problem for Lopez's more methodical approach, but Lopez always has the power to hurt Canto and was also the more varied offensive fighter. I can see Canto outboxing Lopez in a close fight in the same manner as his fight against Betulio Gonzalez, but Lopez stopping Canto is also a possibility.

    I think Lopez has his moments, but overall Canto would win in commanding fashion imo.

    I think Lopez's range makes it hard for Canto until Canto finds his sweet spot. Canto would really fuck with Lopez's mind upclose.

    Yeah, I just got done rewatching a Lopez fight.

    Finito could not infight at all. It's a fallacy for some people to call him the perfect fighter.
