Salvador Sanchez atg status...

Id say he is top40 no doubt.

He was clearly one of the best fighters that weight has seen and even in a relatively short career he squeezed in more greats wins then majority of fighters out there.

 

I'd go as far as putting him top 30..at a push.
He's one of my favorite fighters to watch, the Gomez fight was classic and brilliant performance by Sanchez.

 

I bought sal vs azumah nelson DVD...don't tell me who wins.

 

LOL, this just keeps going up. I have him just inside the top 20. What he did at such a young age from an accomplishment and resume stance was amazing...and his h2h ability at FW is off the charts.

 

that's the highest i've heard him but the argument can certainly be made. if you allow concessions for a limited resume based on his short time in the game and focus on what he did in his few years, it's ATG status to be sure. i can't think of more than a handful of fighters that did what he did in the time he did it in. by 23 he'd defeated some of the best in the game, established himself rightly as a head to head beast, and became one of mexico's best ever. i have him in the top 30 but it may be top 20 in time

 

I rate Salvador Sanchez as the greatest featherweight of all time Hd 2 Hd, and would have him anywhere between 25-15 in my top 100 Pd 4 Pd fighters of all time.

 

where did you buy it?

 

they were selling them outside the crown promotions boxing event at the orleans casino last week. The guy had EVERY fight possible..

 

Look at my avatar, and then ask me how highly I rate Sal!

 

I can't say enough about Salvador Sanchez. It's painful to think of how much potential there was for him. Limitless upside on such a tragically short career. Then you look at how much he already accomplished, and how great he was in his fights from watching them.... Sigh. Incredible.

 

well, i've just watched rounds 1-5 against Azumah..doesn't stand out to me so far but then again, I haven't seen the whole thing. lemme get back with you guys in an hour.

 

Watch as much Sanchez as you can. He's great.

 

There lies the conundrum in rating Sal Sanchez. Head to head he should be very high on any list, but at some point lesser fighters overtake him when taking into account longevity.

So, which do you put more emphasis on? At the worst, Sanchez accomplished more in his short career than many great fighters accomplish over a 15/20 year span.

 

When The fight was being hyped,Gomez said that he "..was going to send the ******* home in a box."Gomez should have kept his mouth shut.Sanchez beat Little Red twice,Azumah Nelson,Gomez,Castillo,LaPorte,Ford,all before he turned 24.I'm 48 and he is the best featherweight that I've ever seen,and that includes Alexis Arguello,another fighter that I love.I believe that he is in the top 5 ever at featherweight,and maybe 2 just behind Hammerin' Hank.Perhaps Chava's only weakness is that he may have been too patient.
