It's amazing what he was actually able to accomplish in a short 2+ year span since the first win over the streaking and all time explosive hitter Lopez. It was his hitting the switch career turn and signing with King ensured the opportunities at the Championship level and more importantly mass exposure on networks that were highlighting a golden era in boxing. Caldwell, Gomez, LaPorte, Nelson and Castillo all had regional or major title runs after falling to Sanchez. He had some bumps in lesser fights and gangly Pat Ford gave him hell early on between all that and damn near got ko'd even before Lopez I but his skill was exceedingly apparent. Cutting sharp counter puncher, solid beard and an obvious engine. The Nelson thriller should have been another huge breakout introduction to the East coast of the States headlining MSG and you can only imagine the sure super fights to follow had tragedy not taken him away from fans and family. Goes up for Chavez maybe, or LaPorte and Nelson rematches, Pedroza unification..the future was blinding at 23 and he had already proven quite a bit by todays standards of to many groomed and gifted divas.
