    How come no one seems to want to fight him, did beating Efe so easily scare people off?

    Never hear his name mentioned hope it isn't another situation where fighters just age him out

    Personally would take him over the majority of the top 15 heavies everyone talks about mahkmudov and hrgovic, Sanchez beats them both

    No... he's the Rashidi Ellis of Heavyweight. Long thought to be a boogeyman and avoided, but the moment he's put in with a half decent pressure fighter, his 0 goes the way of the Dodo.

    I'd say he is a better version of Otto Wallin and Demsey Mckean. I think he beats Joseph Parker now too although a prime Parker would beat him.

    If I grow a pointy beard and start to drink soy milk lattes will I start to appreciate Sanchez more?

    Maybe on the backfoot he's better than Wallin, but not on the front foot. While I think he's a little better than McKean, I still think Parker would have a better chance beating Sanchez than he would Demsey, based on styles.

    I think there must be a lot of GGG’s at heavyweight judging by how difficult is to get any of them in the ring.

    Probably top 10 if hes tough, remember in the heavyweight division you usually need more than just good boxing skills to reach the top, power is paramount and then toughness.


    Fighters who i dont think belong the top 10 but maybe get in the top 15 include chisora, pulev, whyte, ortiz. Too old shot or punchdrunk.

    Sanchez can beat them 4 he can also beat Dubios.

    Would love to see him fight Oldface Ortiz, do it, do it, all-Cuba showdown in Vegas.

    Everyone wanted a piece of GG, it was GG who avoided the smoke.

    Because fighting Sanchez generates no revenue. These are professional boxers, they would like to fight for max salary.
