    Both rank among the greatest Mexican Americans.

    Who was better/greater?

    I've got Carbajal as greater, as he fought and beat much better comp.

    I think Canizales was a better fighter.

    Yeah. Carbajal probably deserves to be called greater, but Canizales was a much better fighter. If he got the win he deserved vs Vazquez, he'd be both IMO.

    This. I don't think the greatness gap was big either.

    But yeah, very hard to argue against Canizales in "better."

    Canizales was ranked top 5 P4P in several years.

    Carbajal was never a top 5 P4P guy.
