Accept my bet.
I don't even know what you are trying to dispute? It's possible Sanchez was BETTER, but Chavez is GREATER. The former is debatable, the latter is not. I speak as a Sanchez fan and have no feelings good or bad towards Chavez. Different fighters view things differently. Ruben Castillo gave an interview not long ago that Chavez and Arguello were both better than Sanchez and he still considered Gomez a better fighter (though he never fought Gomez). Juan LaPorte's opinion isn't the be all end all decision. Fernando Vargas said Ike Quartey was better than Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya. I call B.S on him there as an example.
I had Ramirez beating Arguello but it was close and not a terrible decision. I am not surprised you had Ramirez. Didn't you have Palamino beating Benitez? LMAO!
Sanchez might be one of the ten best Latin fighters, but in terms of greatness I have him just outside. It's not a terrible ranking. I still have him ahead of Trinidad, Gomez, Benitez, Saldivar, Morales, Barrera, Pedroza, Brown. There's a case for him in the top 10 as there is for my all-time favorite fighter, Marquez, but I have both outside when I factor it all in (skill, career, dominance, longevity, opposition etc) I like my top 10 (Duran, Jofre, Monzon, Napoles, Gavilan, Ortiz, Arguello, Chavez, Olivares, Rodriguez). That is a subjective ranking and I can happily explain my rankings.
