Just recently he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. I remember this fight and the "controversy" that Paul Gonzalez stirred by saying he had been head-butted. Ferdie Pacheco spent more time entertaining the loser's whining than talking to the winner.
Orlando Canizales was one the best fighters of the 1990's and one of the top 5 bantamweights of all time. At his best, Canizales was an outstanding fighter.
This was one of the most benign cuts that has caused a fight to be stopped.

Yes Canizales was one of the greats..... When they talk about great fighters, they rarely bring up Canizales........ A forgotten champ.
