When people bring up the big "what if's" of boxing history, like Tony Ayala, Ibeabuchi, ect ect, it's always just ends up as a speculation-fest based on the very little evidence we have.

But with Salvador Sanchez, you have a lot of evidence to draw from because the guy was already a great fighter by the time he died. To have that kind of resume at 23, with dominant stoppage wins over legit HOF fighters like Danny Lopez, Bazooka Gomez, Azumah Nelson... it really is something special. And to think he probably would have fought for another decade, it really is an awful shame.

You don't have to be a boxing expert to recognize the talent that he had. One of boxing's worst losses.
