People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
This guy had it all power speed stamina chin he could brawl he could punch and imo for almost perfect fighter he as close as you can get to perfect this guy had it all and would of beat Arguello and loads more of all time greats whats your opinion of him guys and girls ??
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
I've only seen about 5 or 6 of his fights, but I agree from what I saw he looked like he was legit. Stopping Bazooka Gomez makes you the fucking shit in my book. Its a goddamn shame what happened to him, if I remember correctly he was only like 24 when he died. Never even got to reach his prime. Who knows how far he would have gone. Too lazy to check boxrec but I know he was like 40-something-1, imagine what his record would have looked like if he was able to finish his career.
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
44-1-1 with 32 ko's. He beat some great fighters, Danny Lopez (twice), Juan LaPorte, Azumah Nelson and Wilfredo Gomez. A great boxer. I remember seeing him on tv. It was a real treat to watch him. We can only guess what he would have accomplished if he hadn't died in his prime.

I cant think of another feather that could have beaten him be it Armstrong, Pep, Saddler,Saldivar or even as far back as Dixon. Interesting that you mentioned Arguello as there were talks at the time of Sal moving to 130 in Ring magazine prior to his head on with the chicken wagon.
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
He was a great, great artist to watch. It is very difficult to sum up in words what made him so special, he made the great and good look ordinary and was so ruthless and efficient in doing so without ever seeming to leave his own comfort zone. Not because he was not happy to trade, but because when he did, he was so much better that he often made his opponent look clumsy. They were not, he was just special.
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
Sanchez was magnificent!
I think guys that would have troubled him would have been those that didn't play into his counter punching
His fight with Cowdell surprised me, I thought Sanchez would have won inside the distance
Would have love to see him against Arguello or even Lockridge

Agreed, me of 6 years ago.

I can't believe i posted this topic all the way back in 2007, as for Pat Cowdell i remember him having a very awkward herky jerky style that off-set Salvador Sanchez's rhythm somewhat. But what a finish from Sanchez in the 15th round.
He also had a few problem's with Pat Ford, but he was incredibly tall for that weightclass. And Salvador Sanchez once again finished the fight very strong like he always did.
We did miss out on some great fights though.
Sanchez vs Arguello/Chavez/Nelson 2/Gomez 2/Pedroza/McGuigan ETC.
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
I have never saw Sanchez fight but was wondering why Pat Cowdell would give anyone so great so much problems. I remember Asumah smashed Pat in a round. Maybe Asumah would have beaten him in their return because Nelson was a late replacement and certainly a novice at the time. I think JCC would have met him and beaten him.

But you could also say Sanchez was young and would of got better, i suggest you watch Sanchez vs Gomez/Nelson/Lopez 1 and 2 all great fights.

Agreed that Sanchez would have got better in his lone loss & draw he was dropped in both fights, but he improved with each of those fights & fought with the heart of a champion to the final bell
Maybe outside the ring influences played a part in the lead up to some of his fights?

They sure played a part in his death. In Sals day it was still not a career ender for a prospect to lose one or two and the sacred "0" of today. And wow did he ever learn from those two setbacks eh.
Re: People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??
Sanchez & JC Chavez would have happened (most likely at 135) had that tragic accident not taken Sanchez's life (age 23) and THAT my friends would have been a fucking WAR!

At the time El Arguello was trying to get Sal to jump to 130 shortly after he won feather and Sal's people asked Alexis to come back down to 126. We never had the internet in those days but I remember this quite vividly. They were pretty close to making the fight at 130 prior to Sals untimely death. Alexis had already moved to 135 so it was a half way thing.
