    Nah, he gets owned in that one :lol:

    Avelar is a good one to get a grasp on Canto; well undersized against most Flys with no light or straw cclasses to run too and not blessed with much punching power, Canto had to be on his toes all the time (Literally and in terms of mental aspect) and put on masterclasses against fighters of all shapes and sizes.

    Avelar, a massive Fly even with same day weigh in's, possesses some of the most aesthetically devastating K.Os in lower weight history. Needless to say, Canto ain't fussed :good

    He was no runner though. You'll see how he gets in and out of range against Avelar, a monster, and will want to see more I reckon.

    Stacked time for the weight!

    I'd say he's rated about right. He hasn't done all that much since P-Dub II, so he doesn't deserve the same kudos he was getting when he first started mixing in top class consistently.

    Drinzduruk, Barker and (soon) Macklin? Meh. Sergei a bit better than the latter two but never been too big on him.

    This may be controversial: Marvin Hagler would have to outbox Dick Tiger to beat him.

    I just finished watching the avelar fight Flea Man. I found Canto surprisingly enjoyable to watch. You were right about him not being a runner. He could really take a shot and stand in close with the bigger, strong taller man in Avelar, especially in the late rounds when Avelar was coming on. But when Miguel got room to box, move and pick his shots he was indeed at his best. I saw few flaws in his game, he has good footwork, defense, hand speed, and a great ability to pick his shots well and counterpunch. Im also impessed with his accuracy, he wastes very little punches in a fight. I wouldnt mind seeing more of Avelar either. He looks like more of a stereotypical mexican pressure fighter. He's probably been in many a brawl by the looks of it.

    Avelar was one of the biggest punchers in Flyweight history. Here is a GREAT two round brawl with fellow psychopath Tae-Shik Kim I uploaded :good
