The great Salvador Sanchez

Could have been one of the greatest of the greats, such a tragedy that his life and career were cut short. He could do pretty much everything in the ring.

His performance against Wilfredo Gomez is his best IMO.

@ silencer, IMHO SAL is one of the greatest of the greats...

I just think his career was too short, he still managed to accomplish quite a lot though. Skill wise, yes he is.

it was really too short, i remember how sad i was when i heard the news...

just imagine what it could have been .... and what kind rematches he could have...

I would have loved to see a rematch between Sanchez and Nelson or the talked about fight between Sanchez and Arguello, maybe even a unification fight against Pedroza.

Yeah the Gomez performance was something special. Gomez was 32-0 with 31 KO's and certainly no mug when Sanchez pretty much just picked him apart. Chava would have gone on to be one of the best ever p4p IMO.

one of my favorites.

To think, for the rest of Nelson's career no one ever stopped him again.

What amazes me is how great of a fight that was and then going into the final round Sanchez wasn't even breathing hard.

He would have been a great fighter I think he would overtake
Chavez's position too..
