    On Pac: I think hes one of those fighters that will look great against the slugers etc.. from his weight but the boxers would beat him fairly good.

    I used to think Canto was relly good till i saw Chan Hee Park pick him off in 15 1 sided rounds. Just think he lacks the size as you say and the offence that would let him be able to be more adabtaple

    How easy was it to take Canto out of rythym and plan, do you think?

    Ill have to watch some more of him but he seemed to keep his rythm fairly well but Park sharp shooted him with laser like precision that kind of threw Canto pretty much from the first round.

    I think you would have to be accurate as hell early to throw him off

    Not easy at all in a way.I see the problem being he just keeps doing his thing no matter what a lot of the time.If he doesn't get an aggressive fighter or one that makes a lot of mistakes to capitalise on with his counter hooks, his stature becomes a bit of a handicap.Easy to imagine him getting outworked by other great Flyweights, even if they aren't landing much on him.

    summed it up well, against Park it wasnt so much his rythm tah he threw Canto just didnt know what else to do.

    I think that's right...I don't think i'm as down on Canto head to head as Mantequilla is. If he can hold the line he should be ok. He might be vulnerable to certain types though. If my impression is right, in his mid-late seventies best he could inflict his plan.

    This Mantequilla guy was a fraud.
