    One of the most skilled and effective fighters I have ever seen actually.

    But as Mantequilla said...The Iron Boy he is not.

    Canto would have had his way with these guys today. I rate him higher than Ricardo Lopez, and maybe some other reigning Mexican greats just short of Sanchez. I'll post more on that later, for what it's worth.

    I love my Mexicans, and Canto is right up there. Terrific little fighter, real class.

    C'mon now, sarcasm on the internet is not nearly as hard to make out as you seem to suggest. Obviously they were being facetious.

    Calderon is decent though. Don't want him to start being used as a 'Koki Kameda'-esque footnote :rofl
