Sal was a legend no doubt and a case can be made for him above JCC. O0
He would of been if that tragic accident wouldn't of happened he only had few amateur fights what a talent Sanchez was he is one of my favorite fighters.
....give Carlos Zarate some props bro
I like Zarate but his record was padded but still a great fighter.Quote:

Sanchez was a superb fighter. So good at such a young age. Tragic his life ended so early.
There are so many great Mexicans i just cant decide who is the greatest. Salvador is certainly up there though!
44-1 at the age of 23, not even in his prime when he died. Such an amazing talent, its one of the most tragic tales in boxing. He could have went down as one of the greatest ever.
sanchez was on pace to be a 80+ win fighter and could of been one great legend but sad to say his death took away what could of been and again but we will never know what could of been becuase after the age of 23 he could of been 25 and suddenly and suprisingly defeated once even twice. We will never know, so it is safe to say the title of greatest mexican ever should remain jcc's title.
....I would have loved to see him and Arguello have it out!
There were talks of it happening and also Gomez rematch what a shame he died he could of been greatest of all time and what makes it even more great is that i don't think he even had any amateur fights.Quote:

Similar to Pancho Villa.Quote:

For starters while Arguello was the Featherweight champ from '74 to '76, Sanchez had just kicked off his career as a Featherweight.
In '77 Arguello moved up to Super Featherweight, won a title in '78 and fought his last fight there in '80. That same year Arguello moved up to Lightweight and won a title there '81. By this time in '80 Sanchez had just won the Featherweight title 2 divisions below and was just another Champion at that time. On May 5th '82 Sanchez fought Jorge Garcia, on May 22nd '82 Arguello fought his last fight at Lightweight and moved up to Light Welterweight. Making it 3 divisions apart an even further stretch to talks about them fighting eachother.
I think ICB, you might be confusing peoples talks here about them wanting to see this fight happen as opposed to it ever actually being talked about.
Cause I know a lot of people throw info. around here and say "I heared this....." or "I read this...." it's really up to you to determine wether someones telling the truth or not.
CC#20 really good video and good music to go with it. 8)Quote:

Sanchez-Jc Chavez would have been a great match up....now THAT could have happened!
Don't get me wrong Alexis-Sanchez could have happened but I don't think it was ever in the makings.Quote:

Well JCC started off his career at Super Feather, Sanchez started at Feather. Sanchez became champ '80, while JCC didn't capture a title until '84. By that time sadly Sanchez had already passed.
If ever sanchez and jcc would of fought prime vs prime, I'll favor jcc a bit but its a toss up really. Then again we never saw sanchez improve pass his mid 20's. Imagine if sanchez had moved up in weights, I could imagine by thirty sanchez could of been a welterweight possibly an all time great welterweight. Shyt thats scary.
I wouldn't because Sanchez was good counter puncher and fought very well on outside the kind of style that would beat Chavez.Quote:

The latest Boxing Digest has an article about him thats not bad.
no way lyle, nothing can make em-mab fights look bad. some can be better but it wouldn't make em vs mab look doll.Quote:
