ICB, I'm not sure where you read that their was talks about an Arguello vs. Sanchez fight.
As honest as I can be I don't think I've ever read and or heared in video/audio about that fight ever being talked about.
For starters while Arguello was the Featherweight champ from '74 to '76, Sanchez had just kicked off his career as a Featherweight.
In '77 Arguello moved up to Super Featherweight, won a title in '78 and fought his last fight there in '80. That same year Arguello moved up to Lightweight and won a title there '81. By this time in '80 Sanchez had just won the Featherweight title 2 divisions below and was just another Champion at that time. On May 5th '82 Sanchez fought Jorge Garcia, on May 22nd '82 Arguello fought his last fight at Lightweight and moved up to Light Welterweight. Making it 3 divisions apart an even further stretch to talks about them fighting eachother.
I think ICB, you might be confusing peoples talks here about them wanting to see this fight happen as opposed to it ever actually being talked about.
Cause I know a lot of people throw info. around here and say "I heared this....." or "I read this...." it's really up to you to determine wether someones telling the truth or not.
