Biggest tragic loss/waste of talent in boxing, Salvador Sanchez or Edwin Valero???!!!

[figzuki]

Hey guys in your opinions who was the more tragic loss for boxing?

Salvador Sanchez was a proven champion with 40+ fights at 23 years old. I would've loved to see more from Sanchez (rematch with Gomez lol) Sanchez went down as one of the Mexican greats!!

Edwin Valero killed himslef in 2010 with a perfect record of 27w/27ko. I was watching videos of this guy sparring and i've never really seen people hurt someone else like that while sparring!! He was truly amazing!

I know a lot of people will probably say Sanchez (I would think so too), but think of the actual potential Valero could've had also!!

Let's get honest non-biased opinions here guys!!

Valero was just a crude power puncher.

Sanchez is an ATG.

I agree to an extent, I think he had more skill than that!

Good chin, applied tremendous preassure, A+ power, B+ boxing skill.

[FeFist]

Sanchez was 23 when he died, Valero was 28.
Sanchez was promissing/established, Valero was an overrated hype job.
Sanchez died in an accident, Valero murdered his wife and committed suicide.

I find it disrespectful comparing the two.

It's nothing like that man, you might find it disrespectfull cuz maybe you a die hard Mex, but it was nothing like that!

I said clearly that ya'll should think about ultimate career in the lon run in boxing!!

And yes I agree that Valero ended being a POS in the long run for being a murderer.

Thats how I see it too.

To be Honest the whole comparison is disrespectful!! How can someone mention an ATG as Sanchez was with a hype job like Valero. The best fighter Valero faced was a B fighter named Antonio DeMarco. Sanchez is a legend and if you know about boxing you would never had made a thread like this up!! Dont get me wrong either my friend, I'ts not Because Im Mexican that im telling you this ,Im a Boxing fan from way back!!!!

Salvador Sanchez is the bigger tragic lost.

Edwin Valero is the bigger waste of talent.

Chava didn't waste his talent, he actually had a great career at such a short period, had wins against HOF'er, and build a good ATG resume. He didn't waste anything and his lost was the most tragic cuz' even though he accomplished so much at a young age. He could have accomplished way more.

Valero, was wasting his talent while he was alive. He had great power, good speed, and was very effecting with his style, had underrated boxing IQ. However, he wanted to train himself, he wanted a yes man as his trainer. Didn't really want to work on specializing his craft that is why he fired Adams as his trainer(since he wanted to teach fundamentals to Valero). Valero could have been an elite fighter, P4P level fighter. But, he never reached that potential.

Its nothing like that or nothing against Sanchez or Mex or any of that, i'm not biased at all bro, what I wanted people to discuss was how much of a potential they could've reached.

I already said Sanchez was the shiznit! I said he was a proven champion and he tragically died in an accident, unlike Valero cuz he killed himself after killing his wife!

All i wanted people to discuss was ultimate career potential, thats it!!
