Salvador Sanchez vs Manny Pacquiao

[Thread Stealer]

Sanchez had a tendency to fight down to the level of opposition. Pacquiao-Sanchez (unless it was like the 2003 Pacquiao who was moving up and not expected to be such a big problem for Barrera) would most likely be a big event and Sanchez would win a clear, hard-fought decision.

Pacquiao is the greater fighter historically though, and Sanchez falls under the "what could've been" factor and often gets rated higher than he should.

I agree, and Pacquiao is bigger than him and faster, most likely hits harder at featherweight to. Sanchez was a great fighter no doubt..but he get Idolized because he died..

This is a tough one but look at it like this, we are going by how Sanchez was at 23. That was younger than Pac was before he became a star. We are comparing Pac at his peak, how high would have Sanchez peaked? It would only be fare to match them at age 23, in that case I would pick Sanchez.

Pac over Sanchez. If it was JCC vs Pac, I'd definitely pick JCC.

Stylistically, this is bad news for Manny.

Sanchez stops Pac.

I think pac would beat JCC but not sanchez.
Sanchez was freaking tough man, hard fight for pac and sanchez.
I think it would be like Vazquez v Marquez
