    I'm sure it's probably impossible to get legitimate documentation on nonsense....
    But I could be wrong....

    Nah man he wasn't murdered. He loved fast cars, its very unfortunate that we all lost a great talent in the way that we did. Its just another conspiracy theory.

    That doesn't make sense. That's like me having an opinion on any boxing match that didn't end with a knockout and also I never watched.

    Is the consulate where you picked up (or should I say made up) this ‘well-known secret’?

    These cover ups happen all of the time.

    Jack Johnson died in an automobile accident?

    Sure, that’s what THEY tell you and want you to believe.

    Forget that at least one witness (ok, not at least one, there was just the one) said he saw James J Jeffries, just prior to Johnson embarking on his intended trip to the Louis-Conn rematch, tinkering underneath the bonnet of Jack’s Lincoln Zephyr while it was left parked, unattended.

    And don’t even get me started on cr*p cycles - I’ve just started on one myself.

    Pronouns are overrated. When there’s more than one he and she, the old he said, she said becomes a pile of hot, steamy mess.

    And that’s coming from a non non binary. I’m thinking of starting a band - 4 Non Non Binaries who one day hope to be stars.

    No, Salvador Sanchez was one of the best Featherweight Champion to have ever lived. He was a boxer/puncher with very good movement, he had a very good chin, was calm cool and collected in the ring. His competition in title defenses were stellar, he either appeared on ABC's Wide World Of Sports or his fights were also televised live on HBO. Sanchez defeated one of the most dangerous punchers in the game to win the title, WBC Featherweight Champion Danny Little Red Lopez on Feb 2 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona, TKO 13. Sal fought the likes of Wilfredo Gomez, TKO 8, Juan La Porte, W 15, Ruben Castillo W15, Pat Cowdell W 15, Patrick Ford W 15, and Azumah Nelson TKO 15. Sal was headed to a title bout against WBC 130 lb champion Alexis Arguello in the near future on the night of August 12 1982 when he met his tragic demise in an auto accident. Sanchez was always in shape, took each opponent seriously in the ring, was not boastful but very humble yet confident. I think that Sanchez like another talented poster alluded to, liked fast cars.

    No. Unfortunately accidents happen all the time. Though some reports of the accident mentioned that it was surprising he was out of camp because Sanchez had a reputation for being disciplined during training. Perhaps with an eye on retiring he was not as focused as usual. A tragedy, but of the kind that sadly happen frequently.

    Don't ask, if he told you he would have to kill you.
