    Robinson vs LaMotta hands down the best example of a boxer vs brawler ever.

    I honestly cannot think of better example of this dynamic than the huge hitting, crude slugger in Antonio Avelar vs the flyweight maestro, Miguel Canto.

    Antonio Avelar was a danger man from 112 to 122, stopping one of the best SBWs ever in his penultimate fight, in one of the greatest fights I've ever seen. At flyweight he pounded some brilliant guys and actually beat one of the best 115ers ever too, although this was on a flukey DQ. I've wrote an extremely long article on Canto, and I'll let that do the talking. But basically, he's one of the greatest flyweights ever and the most skilled Mexican I've ever seen. Arguably the greatest Mexican.

    Canto took him to school in one of the best performances I've ever seen.

    Watching that fright the first time seemed so even but rewatching it later Mayweather landed a lot of clean effective shots and Maidens was just throwing anything but goddamn it was fun to see the pressure he applied.
