    Who ya got?

    Gotta go with Sanchez by UD as Salvador was the worst kind of opponent for Mayweather: a pressure‑boxer with endless stamina, discipline, and zero fear of counters. Floyd is smart but he gets outworked.

    What say you?

    Mayweather's style, coupled with his physical dimensions and athleticism, is all wrong for Sanchez. He'd win decisively at 130.

    If this is prime against prime, then Sanchez has no chance. Floyd wasn’t prime at junior lightweight And anything lightweight and above, he would just be too big and too quick for Sanchez who never fought above 126 pounds.
    This is Mayweather by easy decision or possible knockout late in the fight.

    Make the fight outside of LasVegas without NSAC and use another Testing Agency instead of USADA then Sanchez wins it comfortably without those two looking after him,Mayweather picks up at least a couple of losses in his own era without those two in his back pocket .

    Sanchez did his best work against fighters who come towards him as he was a master counter puncher.

    If he had to chase an opponent he was less effective see the Ford, Cowdell, Castillo, fights.

    I do like Sanchez alot but he never competed above Featherweight. And Mayweather is considered to be arguably the best fighter of all time H2H at Super Featherweight.

    Let alone being a major stylistic issue for Sanchez.

    I can't see anything else but a UD for Mayweather.
