Where does Orlando Canizales rank on ATG lists?

Canizales had skills, but he didn't dominate that many of his challengers. Some feel Hardy and Reyes beat him in their first bouts. At his best Canizales would step in, punch, step out in a zig zag motion. However, it was more of a gimmick than great skills - and he needed the opponent to stand still right in front of him, to pull off the trick. He threw great hooks, though, to head and body. Canizales has got into the HOF because he was widely seen on TV and because of his decent record.

Canizales was SO disappointing in the Vazquez fight, and didn't show anything extra special to change the fact that he was losing to Junior Jones: these were by far his 2 best opponents. Honestly, what is the big deal with Canizales? He got winded - or simply confused - in the middle of many fights. He was not a DOMINANT FORCE in the ring, not particularly. Galaxy and Fenech were. They might have been technically rougher but they had freakish strength and they knew how to break ppl down, brutally. Fenech beat better opponents and had continued success up in weight (unlike Canizales) and Galaxy went on a more impressive run without controversy, without lucky wins - with domination.

That's not a bad post, but Galaxy faced appalling opposition, which takes away much of the impressiveness of his run and ultimately makes his run less impressive than Canizales'.

At bantam I have a tough time seeing him beat:
Donaire
Harada
Jofre
R.Marquez
Fenech
Chandler
Olivares
Sahaprom
And even Mares

I think he is at worst 50/50 with anyone else

Wait which Galaxy are we talking about? Khaosai easily has a better resume
