    He's not forgotten on ESB at all. There have been a few threads on him this past couple of months.

    I don't have a bw list, but head to head there are only a few guys I would favour, the top men, Olivares, Jofre etc.

    I'm sure I've contributed a lot to that. Canizales was a beast.

    Ha,ha! I figured, but Gaby did look awesome in his dismantling of Richard Sandoval to win the championship.

    Damn, what's up with this Canizales revival as of late??

    You didn't see this much attention given to him when he was actually fighting! :lol:

    I actually pretty much 4got about him until someone just posted some clips of him the other day . I then remembered what a damn near perfect fighter he was and went through my old tapes to watch some of his bouts again.
