Who is the actual best Light Flyweight boxer (108 lbs ) ? I forgot someone important in the poll but Daiya Kira is probably the future of the division.
Canizales is the only one with real proven quality. Regie Suganob has promise and could probably emerge as the top dog if he's given another title shot.
Canizales need to win a rematch against Panya Pradabsri in a neutral country. But Canizales is declined a lot I think in his last fight. But he really need a world belt for to have a completed career...
Canizales has already held a world title, he was the WBA 108 champion after Taguchi retired. Nobody holds the Panya robbery against him, he bossed that fight and dominated Panya, so I doubt Panya is in much of a rush to make that fight again. Canizales is old for a small man but he's still in good form and would beat most other guys in the division. Rene Santiago, Erick Rosa, and whoever wins between Araneta and Simsri will be big underdogs against Canizales still imo.
Carlos Canizales was the WBA Regular Champion only not recognized was a Super Champion or a Unified WBA champion. You can watch that on Wikipedia or the WBA site. I know it's very stupid and some regular champions was some of the best boxers of the division but it's still not the "true" world belt.
We have to be honest the chin of Panya Pradabsri is probably one of the best chin in boxing in 105 and 108 lbs in history. He takes so many punishments against Yudai Shigeoka, Canizales and Danai. But the guy was never knocked down. Also he is a good counter puncher and have a high volume of shots which make his fights still entertaining to watch. He need more respect than Erick Rosa definitely.
Yes that's true and it's sad for him too paradoxically he will never be considered was a memorable world champion.
