Top 3 Feather. But P4P Arguello and Dixon accomplished more. Maybe even McGovern. P4P from 40-50 along with Jofre, Holmes, Lennox and Olivares.
Top 5 Featherweight in history. If he had lived fought Pedroza and won, no guarantee, because he's in my top 4-8 Featherweights in history and would've been 50-50 against Sanchez , best Featherweight in history.
Agree with most here - he's a top 5 featherweight. I'd need to make a fuller p4p list for a clear placement but maybe top 50? Top 100 certainly, though.
I think Sanchez was a top 10 overall ATG in the making, and that his death was without question one of the biggest losses in sports history. He was fantastic, almost perfect imo. To me the performances he put on, even thouogh limited in number of fights, shame Floyd Mayweather Jr.s whole career (and I happen to have plenty of regard and admiration for Mayweather's undefeated career, FWIW).
Top 5 at featherweight perhaps as high as #3. Pound for pound somewhere around 50-60 most likely. Most importantly one of my top 5 favorites ever.
