i wouldnt go to far as to calling him a could have been fighter, he did fight the top dawgs in his time.

To me he is the greatest mexican fighter or all time even with a shortened career. He had everything most mexican fighter lack with the heart of a lion.

It's a shame he doesn't get mentioned with the greatest P4P ever. He's been on my list of top fighters forever. He was a beast in the ring and very easy going out of the ring. Awesome fighter!

That's because his career was too short.

He did a lot in a short period of time, but not enough to be mentioned among the greatest ever IMO.

[Rafael Benitez]

What a ****ing great technical fighter and what a loss. He is a legend.

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

A great fighter no doubt!

[Rafael Benitez]

The most talented hispanic 23 year old in sporting history after Fernando Torres for sure.

[Zarco]

i could only imagine what would become of his career if he lived longer

[Rafael Benitez]

IF is the middle word in LIFE. But in this case, I think he would obviously have become better and would have given us many more classics.

holy crap, i just watched a highlight vid of his plus his stoppage of lopez, gomez, and nelson.....he was awesome.....shame he died at 23...just an all round great fighter, and even with a short career he achieved more in like 5 or 6 years than other guys did in like 15 years...

I just retired & have been a fan for over 50 years and the 4 greatest fighters I ever witnesed were.

Salvatore Sanchez
Roberto Duran
Mohammed Ali
Ray Robinson

Sanchez was unbeatable I remember before he fought Wilfredo Gomez he said "How in the world can they make him the favorite over me" I think Gomez was 47-0 at fightime. I looked up Sanchez record & it said he did have 1 loss, that is hard to imagine.
