    Truly one of the great fighters of his generation. Great body and combination puncher, his punches just flowed.

    Canizales was a joy to watch and as far as I know he and his brother both were also class acts as people as well as fighters. One of my favourites. Odd stat factoid: Juan Manuel Marquez's career record, wins, losses and draws was identical to Orlando's not long ago. 5 losses, none by stoppage, 50 wins, exactly 37 of their wins by stoppage, and one draw.
