Sal was the total package, not your "typical" Mexican fighter. Excellent footwork and head movement with a chin. Sal had good power, was a good counter puncher and accurate as well. Sal looked so relaxed in the ring and always had the same look on his face. He did this thing were he'd touch his gloves and proceed to kick ass shortly after. Sanchez was a GREAT fighter!Originally posted by DCReprezenta

Erik Morales doesn't compare to Salvador Sanchez. I have to admit I was one of those guys who was saying that Morales was better than Barrera, that Morales is one of the best fighters of all time, and that he should be p4p #3 behind Hopkins and Mayweather. It always seemed to befuddle me that they always had him at 7 or some ****. But after seeing his performance against Barrera last November, I admit that I was wrong. And alot of people, particularly **********.com, were gloating about how they were right. Sanchez' portfolio far outweighs Morales'.Comment

but
Yeah but in my opinion by age 23 he didn't have time to be effected by the wars he had early on. Morales has been threw wars and is starting to be effected by them. I mean by 23 you don't have a chance have a bad fight. I mean my only point is that you could say all you want he never had a chance to have a bad fight in his career, and what Morales has had one by 28 with prolly just as complete a resume. The big question is what if. What if he had a longer career and met some tougher fighters. You can't compare them both because Morales would get criticized for fighting a bum. Sanchez did fight some many in fact, Morales takes hard fight after hard fight. Now we don't want to see a fight wasted on anyone, Morales waits for the next prospect or champ and destroys them. I mean MAB and him have a rivalry and in my opinion he won the first two and had nothing left to prove against him, it didn't even seem as though Morales showed up to the third fight till the 7th round. My point is boxing is different these days, instead of fight after fight, it is well lets wait for a good fighter to come around instead of waste our time. His career ended so soon he didn't really have a chance to get exposed for some of the weakness he might have had. Because his career was cutshort maybe it's the opposite maybe Sanchez may have never accomplished as much as Morales. I'm not saying he's better simply saying that it's two eras and two fighters, and you can't simply cut Morales down because he had one bad showing after so many good ones.Comment

What ever happen to Mauricio...?
He is one of the guys that at the other site was saying that a Morales Victory this coming March 19 would put Morales above Sanchez!
No te escondas Maury!

What puts Salvador above all other Mexican fighters is that he beat (correction, obliterated) an all-time great, something no one (not even JCC) has ever done.Comment

Barrera beat the Prince, and Morales three times, I think he might have a better record than Sanchez, dont let his loss against Pacman cloud your judgement, Morales would have to beat another great fighter even if he wins against Pacman to make up for losing to Barrera three times, just to get near Sanchez.Last edited by IwatchBoxing; 03-08-2005, 09:11 PM.Comment

I feel that MAB lost the first two fights(second one badly) and that the third it looked like Morales didn't even want to be there. Losing 3 times it is not only an overstatement but a ****** statement. In both of the first two fights not only did he land more but won way more rounds. Just because MAB fought in spurts doesn't make him the winner of either of the first two fights. I admitt Morales looked terrible in his last outing but the fact is he lost at most 2 of the 3 fights, and I still only have one loss on EMs record. So losing 1 out of 3 times to a legend is bad? wow your intellegence is impressive. Sanchez beat 1 all time great. But how many champions has morales dethroned. How many Contenders has he knocked off the list? My point is that he is very good and will show you once again against pacman.Originally posted by IwatchBoxingComment

Well three in my opinion, and two most would agree Barrera won, and infact in his record, it says he won both those fights, from over here saying Morales won two of the three fights seems pretty ******, so record wise his is better than Morales anyway.Originally posted by poeticlyskuacComment

yeah well I believe he won the first one. (We are obviously biased for the other fighter). The second won I feel also belonged to him. How do you win a fight by fighting in spurts? Morales pressed the action in both of the first two. How do you answer to being hit that many more times? In both those fights EM out punched him, he was busier and more accurate. I mean he hit him more at just as high a percentage with harder punches.Comment
