If Salvador Sanchez had lived, would he had surpassed Julio Cesar Chavez Sr?

Damn man, we missed on on some great, great fights, man

I agree, particularly in era where every pro boxer was willing to fight each other.

Nonetheless very impressive run by Sanchez, though there might be a point that his boxing ability might be overestimated due to his "what if" status.

So of the listed, Chavez has beaten 13 champions (2 Hall of Famers) and Sanchez has beaten 4 champions (3 Hall of Famers, One of them being beaten twice). Chavez also beat 16 top ranked contenders aiming for the title while Sanchez had surprisingly beaten 7 despite his short career. Still less than half.

Re-reading I messed up putting Parisi as a contender:

-Giovanni Parisi was a two division champion that defended his title in multiple bouts heaving beaten Freddi Pendleton and Sammy Fuentes, he was the WBO champ at 135 and 140. He was also a Golden Olympian in 1988. He was (29-1) at Age 27 when they fought.

There was also:

-Sammy Fuentes became a WBO light welterweight champion. He was 25 years old with a record of 21-6-1 (17 KOs).

That is 15 champions Chavez had beaten over Sanchez's 4 though not completely sure that's all of them.
