Salvador Sanchez vs. Henry Armstrong

[Miburo]

At FW I don't know, I'm not familiar enough with the history of Armstrong's performances at that weight, but it certainly wasn't his ideal. I would favor Sanchez both stylistically and due to the weight drain on Armstrong.

Honestly, I dunno, its hard to tell. But I guess Hammerin Hank's attack wouldn't be as effective as usually against Chava's superb defensive skills. Chava also held an edge in power I think. But Armstrong was just unstoppable, at least at his peak he was. This goes the distance likely. I think Chava would get a split decision or a majority decision.

Imagine if Azumah Nelson was more experienced, savage, mature, stronger, and threw way more punches than when he fought Sanchez?

That would be Armstrong. Hank by 15rd decision (no one in 126lb history is taking Sal Sanchez out- too smart, too much stamina, and too good a chin)

Sanchez wasn't all that. His death makes him more than he would of been. He was another Arguello. Nelson proved that.

I think almost any fighter in history would love to be called "another Arguello".

sanchez was lucky to have died after his "classic" wins against smaller 122 lbs champion Gomez, his greatest win ever, his two wins over solf-chin Red Lopez, and the 15 fight Veteran Azuma Nelson who took him 15 rds. cause had he lived longer he would have been exposed as another.............

I do believe Sanchez has become slightly overrated over time, but....

Your post tells me someone's packing your fudge back up into your brain, and the toxins are killin' your thought process, you stump.

Styles makes fights, we'd only be guessing.

Do you predict fights before they happen? What's the difference?

Armstrong only fought one fight at 126 ever I believe, and it was to win the title. He would have been a career 140 today.
