Pat Cowdell gave Sanchez a hard time and Azumah wiped him out quickly.Quote:

People say"sanchez got hit alot"..well,look who he fought! Sanchez beat all time great fighters... Or coarse hes gunna get hit... Its what happens after u get hit that makes a difference.
Julio Cesar Chavez for the win!
No such thing. Horses for courses. A fighter is more than his record. It depends what you like.
So my post from above is from 2008...Quote:

7. Erik
8. MAB
9. Canto
10. Saldivar
Chiquita Gonzalez drops off the 10 spot to make room for JMM coming in at the #2 spot. Eventhough he's still active he has for my likings cemented his legacy in the sport and rightfully so. He has been in my books an elite boxer for years even after being written off as slow and old he continues to win. His longevity and his titles along with exceptional wins have boosted him up with the likes of JCC & Lopez.
Saldivar drops to #10 and MAB moves up behind Erik. As well as Canto drops to #9 above Saldivar.
JMM ahead of Morales and Barrera? Really.
No love for Zarate? C'mon people!
JCC but Sanchez was something special an awful pity he died so young.
Sanchez for me, i have no doubt he would've fought a trilogy with Nelson had he lived. I also believe that Azumah was the only man capable of beating him. Sanchez was just 23 when he died, not even at his peak. By 1985 he probably would've moved up to 130lbs and Julio Cesar Chavez might have received his first loss a lot sooner, Sanchez would also have run into Pernell Whitaker by the late 80's. Sanchez would not have turned 30 until 1989!
It boggles the mind as to what he could've achieved if not for this tragedy.
Yes sirrrr...Quote:

JMM for me is the greatest. Great technically, power , speed , longevity fight the young guys ( Bradley, Diaz , Katsidis, Alvarado) and KOd one of the biggest starts of the era. JMM #1 Mexican boxer ever.
Toss up between JMM and JCC IMO.
Would probably have been Salvador Sanchez had he not died so young.
I like to look at the record, wins and losses, length of career, undefeated streaks, and who he fought. You know what I'm talking about, that unimportant crap.Quote:
