My Take
Michael Carbajal is one of those fighters I'd put in any conversation about the smaller weight classes deserving more spotlight. A six-time world champion out of Phoenix, of Mexican descent, who earned the nickname Little Hands of Stone after Roberto Duran tells you everything about his mindset. Ring Magazine naming him Fighter of the Year in 1993 and Comeback of the Year in 1999 shows both peak and resilience, and the 2006 Hall of Fame induction sealed it. At 166 centimeters he proved power and heart aren't about size. That kind of career is genuinely inspiring to me.
