Did my bias shine through??? And why are you constantly stalking Chandler throughout ESB :huh

 

Now that I got my Philly/Chandler rant out of the way...

Vicente Saldivar

01 Laguna (I am not sure if a COMPLETE fight exists?)
02 Sugar Ramos
03 Rojas
04 Seiki I
05 Famechon
06 Winstone I
07 Winstone II
08 Winstone III
09 Seiki II

 

I have always enjoyed both of these fights, but remain partial to the first one. Just out of curiosity, is there something about the 2nd fight that stands out to you over the first one?

 

Salvador Sanchez
vs Danny Lopez I & II
vs Wilfredo Gomez
vs Juan Laporte
vs Azumah Nelson

Sumbu Kalambay
vs Mike McCallum I & II
vs Iran Barkley
vs Doug Dewitt
vs Robbi Sims
vs Herol Graham
vs Ayub Kalule

 

It's a toss-up really. Could just as easily have been the first, but I do think the rematch shows quite well how Arguello couls stem the tide of any potential comeback with textbook precision punching. He just seemed more in control in the rematch, and every time Escalaera tried to build a head of steam, that short hook found its home and he was on his face.

 

For my own taste, I would only put one Lopez fight in there for Sanchez, as if you've seen one you've seen them both. Someone just learning about him for the first time might as well know his foibles too, so I'd recommend a fight like Castillo or Ford, so they could see how relatively uncomfortable he was against movers and boxers. Just to give them more of a full picture.
