Farcical.

I wish Torrez would fight someone with a pulse and I wish anyone would fight Frank Sanchez.

This would be a decent scrap, while it lasts.

Call me ****** but i believe a healthy Sanchez is a problem for any top heavyweight. He wasn't on form against highly rated Kayabel. We will know right away if Torrez is the real deal ( i don't believe so) if the fight happens. Just a matter of time before Torrez ends up at the wrong end of Knock out of the year.

Torrez Jr. is a fraud who will be exposed as soon as Bob slips up and puts him in with someone with a pulse.

Step it up Torrez! Who cares if the “0” goes? He can still make a decent living. I think Sanchez should take the journeyman route if he can’t secure big fights. Fight like Kingpin. At half speed, flick a jab & give opponents rounds. Do just enough to lose so he keeps getting fights with decent pay…

Will Torrez take this fight? He has just a punchers chance, he should get picked apart by Sanchez

[Toffee]

This would seem like a massive step up for Torrez and far too soon. How the hell is he ranked so high?

Torrez = BUM

I always thought Frank had the skills and physical talent to be a problem for anyone. I don't think the only variable is IF he is healthy (which he obviously wasn't against Kabayel), the other variable is if he is motivated. Multiple fights of his, I didn't see much motivation even in wins. He would do just enough to win against outmatched opposition.

If Frank is healthy and motivated, I don't see Torrez having much of a chance at all (except the "punchers" chance). My guess is that Torrez team probably assumes that Frank is neither healthy nor motivated.
