    Better and greater are two different things, Salvador Sanchez is better and greater. King of calmness - haven't seen another calm boxer other than Monzon. Calculated counterpuncher.

    I honestly don't know enough about the guys Sanchez beat to say who's greater. I obviously know Gomez which is pretty much the fight most of his more casual fans know about. I'd need a history lesson on his other wins like Lopez and Castillo to see where I rate his greatness. As far as skill Sanchez from the fights I've seen, Sanchez seemed like a far more complete and skilled fighter. As far as greatness Marquez is a multiple weight champion and his win/wins over Pac trumps anything Sanchez did imo.

    Marquez accomplished more, Sanchez is the better fighter.

    Sanchez beat the greatest Puerto Rican and the greatest African fighters of all time. Sanchez was on a different level than Marquez. There's a reason why even Chavez Sr. always said he wasn't the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, and I don't think he was just being modest.

    I'd take Salvador Sanchez to put Manny and Marquez to sleep big time. Sanchez beat a very good fighter in Azumah Nelson and the eye test says he's better

    If poor Sanchez didn't had that accident at a very young age he could've pass Chavez, at this stage he's close with Chavez and above Marquez
