    Both among the top 10 greatest Mexican Americans of all time. But who was better? Who was greater?

    Canizales wa trash, loads of excessive movement for nothing, very overrated, Hardy exposed, even in the rematch that he lost to Orlando.

    The rematch? Canizales obliterated Hardy in the rematch. Probably his best performance.

    On one hand, it's fair to call him overrated.

    Trash though??? Not even close.

    I love them both but probably narrowly rate Canizales higher. Again it’s marginal and I can see it going the other way.

    I'll go against the grain and say Carbajal was greater. I don't think much of Canizales' competition, and although I thought he beat Vasquez, I can't rewrite history (although I wish I could). I'll take the Chiquita & Arce wins here. Although as said it's bloody close and neither has a clear advantage over the other. It's just what you like really.

    Canizales was much better in the ring though.
