    I wasn't aware anybody had a winning record against Don. To make it sicker he outlives everyone he fucks over.

    On a serious note, lets keep this thread respectful. Canto is objectively one of the greatest flyweights of all time.

    Canto had a far better resume.

    Idk if he'd beat Chocolatito, but I'm positive he'd beat Donaire.

    Miguel Canto's Name is VERY Familiar to REED Without Ever Seeing the Man Fight...Canto Pre-Dates Michael Carbajal, Who Intrigued REED Enough to Watch Boxing BELOW 122-118 for the 1st Time...

    REED Vividly Recalls the Name From Nerding Out on RING Magazine Rankings In the Mid to Late 70's...Miguel Canto was a FIXTURE Atop the Flyweight Rankings Back Then...If REED Didn't Know Shit Else About 112, He Knew Miguel Canto RAN that Division...for a WHILE Too!

    R.I.P. Miguel Canto...
