Welcome to the forum bud. Sanchez was an exceptional diverse fighter and also a case study in maximizing your time. Crazy to think he was just hitting his top stride when fate came in so tragically. Really enjoyed the Little Red Lopez matches and discovering future greats like Azumah bringing Sanchez to the brink. The nod and later connection with Laporte was class too. Always wondered about 130 JCC and Sanchez as paths barely missed one another. Chavez was not the frontal sometimes too square two-fisted body wrecker that we would see later 140+. Chavez had smart feet and more a boxer-puncher mover himself early on. But ultimately, I think Sanchez would have more on the end of his shots and for only 7-8 years a real hardened depth to draw on in there. An insanely brutal cruel world looking back with Sanchez cut down at 23 years young. Majority of today's guys arguing over p4p have yet to even scratch the surface of relevance that young.
