Just a quick question about Salvador Sanchez as I am going to watch some of his fights later on and don't know a great deal about him. Did he deserve a title shot? Did he beat top guys to get the shot or was he given a high ranking because he beat lots of stiffs? The only name I recognise from boxrec pre Danny Lopez fight is Hector Cortez (from his fight with Azumah Nelson). Any other notable's?
Thnanks. Was Juan Escobar a good boxer? I know its a bit of a weird question its just that I like Sanchez and know little of his first 30 odd opponents which annoys me.
He was 8-2 around the time he fought Sanchez.But he didn't really amount to anything of great significance.Former Jr lightweight contender Frankie Balzaltar barely beat him by majority decision 5 years later, and in his later fights ( he lost his last 6 out of seven), he lost to primos ramos and Roque Montoya for the Mexican lightweight titles.Side Note, Sanchez did beat Felix Trinidad's father.
