    Sanchez would just keep coming and eventually walk Manny down , Manny's speed would bother Sanchez but the pressure would get to Manny and Sanchez stops him around 13th to the 15th round

    Why on earth would Sanchez walk down Pacquiao?

    He'd just keep coming with pressure and Manny would wear out late

    But he isn't a pressure fighter... if anything, his biggest weakness was that he couldn't effectively walk people down.

    If Azuhma Nelson couldn't KO, or even knockdown, Sanchez, then no way Pac AT THAT WEIGHT KO'd Sal.

    And when did Pac go 15 rounds?

    Sanchez UD.

    It is your opinion, I respect that, but Salvador has been tagged by bigger hitters and has never been bounced off the canvas like Manny has, no debating for me, that is for the politicians, debating is above my pay grade. No brag, just fact my friend.

    True but against Juan Escobar, Salvador was learning, the only difference was that Sanchez finished on his feet, in some fights, Manny has not. As champion, Salvador Sanchez never hit the canvas again, he learned his lesson in the ring, some fighters are slow learners, Salvador was a quick learner. Those fighters that get knocked down, and do not get up, you have to question their heart, speed is not the only gift to make you a successful fighter, you need other intangibles. Sanchez was consistent, sad to say but Manny as great as he was, was not consistent.

    Salvador Sanchez was the best counter puncher I’ve ever seen...better than Marquez ...better than Mayweather. Sanchez UD

    Late KO by Sanchez. Pac probably takes an early lead, but can't finish Sal or really even get him in serious trouble, and Sal comes back and eventually stops him.

    This. Pacquiao could never figure out Marquez's technical counterpunching style. Sanchez is faster, stronger, better chin, hits harder and is at least as good technically as Marquez.
    Apart from speed I can't think of a single advantage Pac has over Sanchez.
