    Sanchez has just beaten Nelson and announces he is to move up to lightweight to fight Ray Mancini in January 83 . Mancini pulls out of his fight with Kim and Sanchez will have enough time to train and be ready .

    Who wins

    Ray wins on an hardfought decision.As good as Salvador was, not ready to take over the lightweights as many think he was.

    Can't make a decision either way. Sanchez was never proven at lightweight. He might have taken Mancini apart and then again Ray may have proven to be too big and strong.

    Let's see Salvador fight Johnny Verderosa, or Hector Camacho first.I, however would be scared to see him fight Edwin Rosario.

    Sanchez is by far the better fighter pound for pound but we dont know how he would handle 135, he could be like Gomez who was great at one division but nowhere near as good when he left that division or he could handle it well like an Arguello or a Chavez we will never know.

    Salvador didn't have the height, the skillset, but not the height.Hell, I would give Bobby Chacon a chance against him.
