The phrase "What if" probably applies to the late Salvador Sanchez more than any other fighter in boxing history. Forget, "What if he fought Alexis Arguello?" How about, "What if he hadn't died in a tragic car accident at age 23?" Salvador Sanchez died on August 12, 1982 when he was returning to his training camp somewhere between the hours of 4 & 5 am when his Porsche rammed the back of a poultry transit truck killing him instantly. It's been more than rumored that Sanchez was racing back to camp from one of his infamous flings. [details (http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=473)]

I think that Salvador Sanchez would've given Ray Robinson a run for p4p greatest of all time. A fight with Arguello would've been a defining moment, as he would've likely blown Arguello out in 6 rounds.
