I loved watching Sanchez fight. He was relentless, smart and had a great chin. I wouldn't say he was the best ever though.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostSanchez is on my personal Mount Rushmore of all-time favorite fighters (Marquez, Jofre, Trinidad, Sanchez) but I'm realistic enough to know his ceiling wasn't GOAT or that he wasn't the best ever featherweight. I don't think there's a case for him being top 3 realistically.
He was excellent though. Good (not great) puncher, intelligence beyond his years, stamina, poise, excellent at feinting, countering and he had a rock for a chin. He's a tough out for most. His future maybe would have included fights with Pedroza, Arguello and Chavez, possibly Camacho (which could have been a style nightmare). It would have been interesting to see his style vs. bigger, stronger guys. Slick, fast guys could give him trouble like Castillo, Ford, Cowdell. If he's moving up fighting styles like that it's possible he looks more vulnerable. The thing with Sal though is that he was a winner. You got the feel he excelled best at simply winning.
I had a conversation once with Nacho Beristain and he was not complimentary at all regarding Sanchez to the point it felt like he must have had some personal vendetta. We were talking the greatest Mexican fighters and he said "Marquez, Chavez, Olivares, Zarate, Roman" and I said, "What about Sanchez?", he pulled a face and said, "He's maybe top 10-12. He had horrible technique and beat guys because he was bigger than them" and I asked if he felt he would have gone on to even bigger things he said, "He was already on the way down. He'd hit his peak and was regressing and was going to lose anytime". I didn't agree with him but I did get the sense that Sanchez probably had hit his peak and the youth, size and speed he had really benefited him to that point. I think some of those strengths would have gone away if he'd outgrown 126 and like I said I think Pedroza is a mess stylistically and a 50/50 fight for him. Sanchez was phenomenal when a guy came head on but if they offered movement he was taken out of his comfort zone and made to look human.
I love Sanchez like I said but I think his early death has added tremendously to his legacy. His technique wasn't as perfect as people try to remember (he would slap a lot and didn't throw beautiful punches) nor was he a huge power puncher or an unbeatable force. He was a great fighter though and sometimes that's good enough. On my personal lists of all-time greats I'd say he's #4 or 5 at 126, he's #4 of all-time from Mexico and IMO would rank somewhere around 60 all-time pound for pound. Like I said tremendous fighter but I feel he's been romanticized a little too much.
What a stup.id post
S�nchez defense was not perfect but he always was landing punches in different angles
Like Pacquiao
He had good timing and good counter skills.
Nice jabs, good combinations
He was rough at times but that was a good key to land Big punches
Just like Nery do actually
Footwork? Great...
He knows how to fight in all distances
Great chin too (he took punches of bigger K.O artist like G�mez, L�pez and Nelson).
And his stamina was one of the best ever
You are a poor boxing nerd and a mexican hater
Your opini�n means nothing
Alexis Arguello said that S�nchez was better than him because his footwork.
Judah knocked down Floyd
Maidana was near of K.O him in the 4th round
He Lost against Castillo I
An Old �scar almost beat him
Etc
And?
He was a great fighter and one of the best ever
So. Shut up.

But he can't write two words in spanish
(Beristain can't talk or understand English).
Lol
He said that Ch�vez was overrated
That S�nchez is not in the top-ten of best latinamerican fighters
That Ch�vez lost against LaPorte, Lockridge and Taylor was robbed
He thinks that Pacquiao lost all the fights against Marquez (i'm mexican and a great fan of JMM and that was ******, he Lost the second and the first fight was a good Draw).
He is a crazy guy that does not know anything about boxing and is a mexican hater
He said that Canelo is not an �lite.fighter
And that GGG is not on the top-20 of best 160 ever
Hahahah
I never said Chavez was overrated. I’ve even said he’s better than Mayweather and Pacquaio you cretin. I never said he lost to LaPorte or Lockridge you moron. You said Sanchez #1 ever at 126, Chavez best Latin ever and Marquez has the best win ever and is top 10 ever. So biased towards Mexicans that anything not biased you view as hate. You are a bonafide racist too. You don’t even know 20 middleweights so you can shove your lists up your ass.
You are a POS you laughed at my latino top 10 because I had Monzon...YOU HAD MONZON IN IT TOO!!! Self ownage! You then lied and said Gomez was WBO champ years before it existed and that Luis Rodriguez fought Monzon! Lmmfaooooo!!!
You don’t know **** about boxing and you prove it every time you post. No stop riding my **** and cyberstalking me kid. Your mom should have swallowed you.Last edited by chrisJS; 03-08-2019, 03:54 PM.

You’ve only ever seen about 2-3 Sanchez fights and you aren’t educated enough on boxing to understand what’s happening when you watch the fights. It’s clear from reading your posts it’s why you go on a crybaby attack and rant and try to insult other, more intelligent and knowledgeable posters. You are a POS who is ridiculed on this site. You always LIE! ALWAYS!
Now stop stalking me you f@gg0t I’ve told you your a POS and you are a waste of space still sucking on your mommas t1ts and haven’t grown up you fake tough guy manchild.Last edited by chrisJS; 03-08-2019, 03:50 PM.

How on earth do I not rate Sanchez highly? I've got him above fighters I consider great like Lopez, Zarate, Barrera, Canto, Morales, Saldivar. Why are you crying so much? Why do you care? It's because you know I have knowledge and insight and you have nothing but little man syndrome and rage and a youtube account where you watch the odd highlight reel and consider yourself a historian.
You've never heard of speaking to someone through a translator? This is done after literally every boxing match with a fighter who doesn't speak English. This leads me to believe you don't even watch any fights. I don't speak Portuguese but I've got a full feature article and interview with Eder Jofre and his son which is to be published on his official website. So how do that happen? They don't speak English.
Lets have the bet. Name your price or we'll do a loser leaves the site bet. I'll upload the photos after you name your bet otherwise you are a fraud and a coward who's not willing to back up his words or put your money where your mouth is. Lets do it!Last edited by chrisJS; 03-08-2019, 04:10 PM.
