Salvador Sanchez Overrated?

Obviously.

But using my eyes, I can tell Stevenson at FW was nowhere near Sanchez's level.

And any improvements he's made at 130, and will continue to make, are irrelevant unless he goes back to featherweight.

Sanchez beats him clearly.

 

Can’t tell that. He won every second of his career at 126.

 

Against complete nobodies.

You can use your eyes to judge who was better, btw.

 

You brought up resume, my friend. Shakur is elite of the elite 126-130.

 

I know I did. Because Shakur's is nonexistent so far. Thus warranting no acclaim. It's like picking Jaron Ennis to beat Tommy Hearns.

He is today, he isn't all-time.

 

Ennis didn’t wash a champ at 154.

 

Beating Herring means next to nothing all time.

 

Salvador never beat a guy that size.

 

Yet he beat half a dozen who were much better.

 

Your comment about J Joplin made me laugh out loud. '...but still'. Classic.

 

Sanchez was good, don't get it twisted. He's just not the pound for pound greatest or anything like that.

 

God, I remember this thread. This was great fun.

 

Hi Buddy.
Not sure if you have been welcomed on board yet, if not then allow me to do the honours, I see you have been very active at your keyboard, all in a polite and interesting manner, long may it reign, as to the topic in question, personally I would describe Sanchez in more glowing terms than " good " for me he is amongst the best Mexican fighters of all time, top 5, and would, I feel give all the greats at his weight a torrid time, and that would include, Pep, Saddler, Armstrong, and Saldivar, etc, but you are entitled to call it as you see it.
stay safe S@S, chat soon matey.

 

I appreciate it, and I agree.
I think that sometimes I use words such as "good" or "great" to say similar things, but when everyone's communicating over text, it's a good idea to be more concise with my language. Let me correct that.
Sanchez was great.
