Canizales-a whole different level . Wide on points.

Same UD. Murata was tough but Canizales much more skilled and loved to throw a lot, like Murata

Murata was a lot more than tough. Also highly skilled.

I'd still pick Canizales though.

Canizales by close split decision.

Murata was a phenom, one of those guys who had the tough luck of challenging greats a few times for the world title but never winning it. The first two (especially the first -- watch it and tell me Murata didn't win?) split draws vs. Pintor and Chandler were very close -- could have gone either way.

Also a great study of levels in the game, as we was untouchable at the domestic & regional levels.
