Would Salvador Sanchez Be Top 10 GOAT Had He Not Died at 23?

too bad he left when he did. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

yes, he probably would've fought chavez in 86 or 87. amazing fighter

they were setting up a fight with arguello at 30 and a rematch with Azumah Nelson at the time of his death http://i59.tinypic.com/2qjas6e.png

they were setting up a fight with arguello at 30 and a rematch with Azumah Nelson at the time of his death I thought he was training to rematch LaPorte at the time of his death, there was no talks of an Arguello fight or Nelson rematch. Edit: http://i59.tinypic.com/2qjas6e.png

Possibly is all anyone could say, could he beat Alexis Arguello (****in dream fight) and an array of great fighters once he moved up ?, how many weight would he be able to move up and continue to beat top competition ?. Top 10 is a huge step up, although he achieved so much he'd have to do a lot more then he already did, that's given he didn't retire too become a doctor as he had planned to. they were setting up a fight with arguello at 30 and a rematch with Azumah Nelson at the time of his death

Yes. That guy was amazing. The whole package.great great fighter.

He was planning on jumping 2 divisions to fight Arguello before he planned to retire. And that wouldn't be enough to put him close to the top 10.

Honestly that is impossible to tell

Nobody knows, maybe he would've gotten caught up with? maybe he would've gotten caught by a big punch and got KOed and never came back from that? We simply never know, but for damn sure he had the potential to be one of the best fighters ever. I'm just saying, because he had an iron chin so I can't imagine him getting knocked out. Also, the fact that he had already beaten the biggest puncher in the division being Wilfredo Gomez who had a perfect record with all knockout victories and Sanchez beat him by TKO in 8 rounds. Sanchez took his best shots and didn't even get stunned. But of course, this is boxing and a guy with 1 knockout can knockout anyone since anything can happen, but I just find it hard to see Sanchez being stopped. He had already fought everyone worthy of fighting him anyone else I imagine he would have iced.
