Miguel Canto the most forgotten Mexican Champion

Anything else?

 

An unstoppable juggernaut of technical boxing.

 

One of the greatest defences ever.

 

i love that quote

im going to start slipping it into conversations and posts

a quality and accurate statement

 

ESB Classic certainly hasn't forgotten about him.

 

His first fight with Park is one of the great two-way technical classics imo, even with canto being past his best he was still a great fighter, like Jofre against Harada.So many subtle moves going on as they try to outwit each other.

 

I bet it isn't on youtube is it? Or am i in luck?

 

I don't think so.Lst time i checked the only Canto stuff was his third fight with Betulio Gonzalez and one or two highlight clips.

Park's fights with espadas and Oguma are up.

 

Thanks Mantequilla i'll be sure to check them out, i'm not up to much right now.

 

No problem.

and seeing as this thread is going to die anyway, you can enjoy a minute or two(at start of the round)of good old showboating along the ropes from another forgotten colossus

Mantequilla i cant see the video as my browser is crap what ifght is it

 

Y eah i know you are big on him, unfortunately i have only really read about Lora, there's a good few fighters i need to brush up on footage wise that i know you are big on actually. I might be harrassing you for general info on eras and 'forgotten colossus' type guys in the not too far future if you don't mind?

 

Mantequilla does that clip reflect his style in general, or is he just in showboating mode because he's ahead on the cards?
