Another fight I really wanted was the battle of Merida in the Yucatan between WBC flyweight champion Miguel Canto and WBA Champion Guty Espadas who both held the title at the same time, came from the same city which didn't produce that many world champions, and never met in the ring.
Guty went to Venezuela, where it was almost impossible to win, and lost his title to Betulio Gonzalez.
They should have met in Merida while both were champions.
