I could never work out how to rank Mr Sanchez.

If Tyson had died aged 23 he would have been undefeated Heavyweight Champ with a 37-0 (34) record. I remember - very very well - how much sportswriters thought of him back then. They were seriously discussing TWO defences in one night.

At the same age that Chava died Wildredo Benitez was 44-1-1 with his only loss to Sugar Ray Leonard and he'd been champ for over SIX years beating many many great fighters along the way.

Both of the above examples are all time Hall of Famers but both would have been ranked MUCH higher if they had died aged 23.
Of the Featherweight all time list.

In regards to Tyson I personally don't think Tyson had faced anyone of the caliber of the fighters that Sanchez had faced by then.
