People Always Say Roy Ali Tyson Are Almost Perfect Fighters How About Sanchez ??

[ICB]

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

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.

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.

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.
