http://www.boxing.com/salvador_sanchezwhat_could_have_been.html I found this cool article What do you all think?
Some serious fantasy in that lot. Great fighter but how he'd go moving up is debatable as there were some decent brawlers and claqssy fighters around. Really really cannot see Sanchez beating Camacho, he'd be a bad matchup.
I like Randy (he's a Facebook friend, actually), but this is a bit simplistic and very fantasy-driven. There's not a snowball's chance he gets to all or probably even half of those names, and he doesn't beat them all. We have to be careful not to put Sanchez on too big a pedestal. He was human. I also disagree with the assertion that Sanchez was at the same career stage when he lost his life as all those other names were at the age of 23..........boxing isn't about chronological age. See Benitez, Wilfred.........
Salvador's the man, but don't really see him having a lot of sucess after junior lightweight. Can't see him beating Camacho, Mancini, Bramble, Davis jr, or even a Jimmy Paul type fighter.
i think he went as far as he could go. wouldve whipped Pedroza from what I could see but jr lightweights? might want to take it slow
He had him lose to Camacho, in a rematch, and twice beaten by Whitaker I think he could have beaten Chacon and Limon, but even being a Mexican and a WBC favorite, I don't think he could have gotten the title shot against Chacon in early '83 because Boza and Camacho were already in the mix for that shot. He would have probably had to wait a bit and fight Camacho, not Chacon. Chavez and Rosario would have been really tough for him to beat, I think. I think Mancini and and Bramble would be doable. .
