    Who had a Better Legacy? Michael Carbajal or Chiquita Gonzales?

    easily the two of the top 2 junior flyweight ever and both have managed to enter the top 5 p4p...who is the better fighter and possibly the best 108 fighter ever?

    i believe they are the only two natural 108 pounders to be inducted in the International Boxing HOF.

    Can't really mention one without mentioning the other, but without going to boxrec and really looking into it deeply I would give the edge to Carbajal because of that magnificent victory over Arce at the end of his career.

    i think carvajal has more skills and more timeless. gonzales is more under the radar that's why he is not popular before the carbajal trilogy

    Gonzalez also was not as elegant a boxer, not as pleasing to the eye with his fighting style. He was like a meaner, tougher Baldomir. Carbajal was a good looking kid with a good looking style and an Olympic medalist. It's only natural he got more attention.
