      I'm going with Harry Willis, but he isn't on that poll. Langford and Burley come up second, but atleast Burley has wins over Archie Moore and Fritive Zivic. Langford pretty much proved it by beating everyone except the heavyweight champion, who he never got a shot at.

            IF, Sanchez had lived a full life he may have very well been considered the greatest Mexican fighter ever. It would have been great to get that JCC-Sanchez fight. Might have been a passing of the torch fight between to greats.

              Salvador Sanchez who died at 23, we'll never know if to that point he was on his peak. He turn pro when he was like 15. Also Burley should be considered.

                Sanchez already has ATG status despite his career being cut short. Certainly he would have been even greater, but I don't think it's fair to compare him to the other names listed, who lack a great deal of recognition.

                      He was on national TV at least a half dozen times in world title fights and headlined two major PPV's. That's a lot better chance than Burley ever got.
