Salvador Sanchez vs Ruben Castillo

[TitoFan]

If you are going to belittle Ruben Castillo, why did he give Sanchez such a hard fight? Did you watch it?
Check out Sanchez vs Eliseo Cosme. Sanchez beat a green Nelson-and he never was all that- a shot Gomez, a waaay shot Lopez and a LaPorte that never was.

You mean the "green" Nelson who was undefeated Commonwealth champion at age 24? The shot undefeated 14 time defending Super Bantam Weight champion 32-0-1 24 year old Wilfredo Gomez? You know the bloke who went on to defend that title another 4 more times before winning the World Featherweight title? The waaay shot Danny Lopez who had not lost in the previous 5 years, defending his title 9 times prior to fighting a 21 year old Sanchez? Gee Salvador Sanchez was some shit fighter to be beating all these green and over the hill hacks? What a shame he never became seasoned?

Sanchez was an awesome fighter. One of Gomez's greatest regrets is that he never got the chance to avenge his defeat against him.

Do you think Gomez had a chance as I am sure Asumah Nelson would have wanted the opportunity too?

Yeah, I do. Gomez underestimated Sanchez, and was living the high life of an undefeated youngster. A more dedicated Gomez in a Sanchez rematch would been a hell of a fight to see.
