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?
