Salvador Sanchez...man he's unbelievable

What did you have against Bazooka?

 

If you think one fighter hitting another flush seventy times over two bouts and being unable to drop him is no reflection on punching power have another drink. When you add in the fighter being pummeled was dropped multiple times and still try and defend your weak argument have two drinks. You're right, he hit harder than Sandy Saddler.

 

Dundee among other trainers felt Salvidor was a great puncher. If you know Reds history he koed many trying to go for the kill after hurting him. Salvidors game plan was to methodically beat Lopez down over many rounds and not fall into the trap others fell into.

 

I dont think people are rating salvadors power based only off Lopez but off his whole career

 

The one poster is using His bouts with Lopez as an example of his lack of KO power. A superficial observation.

 

I thought his best performance was against Azumah Nelson:deal, great duel to the end, that fight made Nelson better..


Man it was hard to swallow his passing way back many years ago, he was an amazing talent...

 

Well he was saying that Sanchez hit him a bunch and didnt KO him. Only a valid point when you look over the rest of Sals career not just that instance. Almost everybody whos watched his whole career will say he didnt have great pure power. Theres not much argument for the other side

 

One of the most over rated fighters of all time. Beats Patrick Ford by MD., who goes on to get the siht beat out of him by E. Pedroza. Gets a split decison over Pat Codell? Yeah, amazing.

 

Besides being one of the filthiest fighters ever, before the fight with Sanchez, he claimed he was going to send "the wetb@ck home in a pine box." I guess that didn't pan out for Wilfredo.

 

He was 22! Have you heard of Doug Jones?

 

Wilfredo was a fairly dirty fighter sure. An cthe comment while distasteful certainly does not stand out among the litany of horrid things one fighter has said to another.
You must hate an awful lot of boxers.

 

What I liked most about him was his calmness, his self possession, never agitated ,never ruffled.

 

True although "can't stand" and "hate" are too strong. "Hate" is something I don't feel for any athlete, and there are probably only 1 or 2 people on earth I hate. Let's just say I don't like Gomez.

 

Sanchez stopped 70% of the opponents he faced.
