    What a champion. Won the title then defended it 9 times in 2 1/2 years against fighters of great calibre like Danny Lopez, Ruben Castillo, Juan La Porte, Wilfredo Gomez and a young Azumah Nelson.
    Could've achieved so much more but we were lucky to see his short but brilliant career while it lasted.
    I'll always remember an old cartoon I saw of him, he had been drawn with an old nail sticking out of his chin...ie he wasn't get knocked down anytime soon.
    Cheers Orish, really enjoyed that tribute.
    RIP.

    I believe Salvador was the best counter pucher I ever saw he reamined so calm no matter the situation and was a master in the ring he could do it all and the way he destroyed Gomez was amazing. R.I.P Sanchez.

    great find
    what a fighter and only 23 years of age. really does make me feel sad becuase he was a great talent and even though his heart wasnt in boxing it sad to see the slices of life of a young man die young

    One of the true Greats.

    I am still amazed when I pop in one of his fights.

    Best thing about Sanchez was how much better he seem to get with EVERY fight.

    Just a fantastic fighter....

    counter punching at its finest. and Defensively he was amazing. He had the ring smarts of james toney but way more athletic and way way better movement on his feet, he was just simply sick.
