    Good call on Canizales McGrain, one of the greats imo, and Vitali was very underrated imo, i still class him as better than Wlad , h2h anyway, very awkward

    Never thought he'd be the type to fight to his level of comp, always had him pinned as a dominant type, dont know why, just a first opinion that stuck. Im gunna search for some footage and try and get a hold of some sometime when money's a little better!!!

    ...........I remember watching many of his fights on network tv back in the day. I also just got a copy of his title-winning 15th round TKO of the always game Kelvin Seabrooks from Raging B()ll. Canizales was so smooth, so well-schooled. Would've taken a hell of an effort by a great bantamweight to beat him. He deserves a very high ranking at that weight.
