    i have the same thoughs as you father

    i think Sanchez would beat Chavez he is a boxer and a slugger and pressure fight on at once and he got a great punching power to go with

      We never got to see Sanchez at 130, and unfortunately, also never got to see a unificiation bout with Pedroza at 126.

      Sanchez was great but don't underestimate Chavez's skills. He was versatile and complete as well. He could box too when he wanted.

      Sanchez head-to-head might have won, but as it goes, I can't rank him higher than Chavez based on achievements.

        If you really look into that Issue, alot of these fools hating are young bucks that wernt even around or were little Rug**** that didnt even know what boxing was or Who was who back in the days. The way I look at it if your not from that generation you have no right to talk down on a fighter because they dont even know who was ranked back then.

Looking down the list, Ruben Castillo, Roger Mayweather, Dwight Pratchett, Rocky Lockridge, Juan LaPorte, Edwin Rosario, Bazooka Limon, Sweet Pete Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, Kostya Tszyu, Macho Camacho, ... Win or lose, controversy or no controversy, those are some incredible opponents to me.
          dumb ass...he only beat taxi cab drivers, when he started fighting real competition he lost..when did roger mayweather, ruben castillo dwight pratchette rocky lockridge ever become creidable opponents?

            those taxi drivers referred to were chavez non title bouts in between championship fights, chavez fought 5 or 6 times a year and the 90s era had some of the big names taking non title fights such as toney, whitaker, jackson, roy jones, norris, etc. chavez record wouldnt be padded to 88-0 if he didnt wasted his time taking on opponents who had no chance of beating him, overall, he was an all time great considering the big names decorated in his resume.

              Lets see how long it takes till we see another fighter go 90 some and 0. While beating some heavy competition.

                  If Meldrick Taylor and Pernell couldn't have beat him, I very much doubt Sanchez could have.

                  Just being realistic, an' all that.

                    I'm not disagreeing that Chavez beats Sanchez (who didn't even fight in the same weight class as JCC), but Sanchez fought differently than those guys.

                      Chavez has a better resume than most fighters, however sweet pea tooled him and won. Ring Magazine considers it a win for pernell whitaker. So pea's record is really 42-4.
