how the fuck metioned Marquez and Pacquiao if they had died at the age of 23. you think the world will give a crap about this two boxer. at 21 years chava was fighting Pound for Pound. Not funy bolony fight. 7 weight classes my ass.
me destroza el corazon saber que el documental está en ingles y no en español mexicano, cuando fue el gran campeon mexicano...y vivio aquí en el df... me lleva... la chi...
there r fighters that born with talent Sanchez is one of them. Freddie roach taught pacquiao how to fight and that's the difference when u born with the talent
I remember watching Sanchez when I was a teen and thinking this guy will rule one day. Yeah..Leonard and others were the shit back then, but Sanchez was in a class of his own.When he died suddenly, it was a great loss to the boxing world. I can say without a doubt he would be up there with the boxing greats had he lived . Still, he accomplished a lot in his short time here.

I remember alot when i was around 12 my dad would tell me dat SALVADOR SANCHEZ was da greatest fighter ever and dat he was da biigest idol in MEXICO.

I hate to say it , but the best featherweight I have ever seen in my lifetime ,maybe of all time . you cant campare fighters of 100 years ago to todays fighters, there are to many diffrences (dont know where to start) you have to rate them according to there time.
even during vacation he would spend his time swimming in the hotel's pools, no wonder tremendous shape and stamina, and yes one of the greatest of all time
They say that a military general ordered to kill him, because Sanchez was sleeping with the general's girlfriend(/wife). Such cowardice that defeated our Champion. The tragedy that has attempted to silence many unrivaled legends. His quintessential prowess still recognized. Viva Salvador Sanchez!
Te fuiste chavita, pero dejaste escuela y un legado que persistira por mucho pero mucho tiempo, dios te guarde en su gloria, por gente como tu, me siento orgulloso de llevar en mi venas sangre azteca......viva mexico señores!!!
SIN DUDA SAL SANCHEZ LE HUBIERA GANADO A ALEXIS ARGUELLO, EN Q ME BASO PARA AFIRMAR ESTO? EN LOS ESTILOS, RECUERDAN CUANDO EL PUAS OLIVARES LE PUSO UNA MADRIZA DURANTE 13 ROUNDS? SOLO UN GOLPE DE SUERTE SALVO A ARGUELLO, PUES BIEN SALVADOR NO SOLO LE HUBIERA GANADO SINO Q LO HUBIERA NOQUEADO, ALEXIS ERA UN BOXEADOR MUY PARADO ESTILO COLORADITO LOPEZ Y YA VIERON COMO LE FUE CON SALVADOR 2 VECES, LASTIMA Q NO SE DIO ESA PELEA PERO NI DUDA CABE DEL RESULTADO X Q CUANDO SE PROPONIA ALGO LO LOGRABA.
@barajas1500 Para mi, Salvador Sanchez ha sido el boxeador de mas calidad que ha tenido Mexico, seguido de cerca por Finito López, pero acuerdate que de haber peleado contra Arguello iba ser en las 130 libras, no en las 126, lo que representaba una ventaja para el nica Arguello que era un campeón solido en ese peso. El pronostico habria sido reservado!! saludos, amigo!
HANDZ DOWN THA GREATEST... And for suckaz tryn to compare SANCHEZ to all theze BITCH MADE FIGHTERZ 2day ... KILL URSELVEZ HAHA he would ROCK all of'em juz like he did tha CHAMPZ IN HIZ DAY... I NOTICE NOBODY MENTIONZ HE BROKE GOMEZ' CHEEKBONE...real MEXICAN POWER HAHAHA MEXICA TIAHUI
He had incredibile stamina he's one of those boxers who fought the 15th round like it was the first. Todays boxers people like Mosley Pacquiao have to use EPO HGH to have stamina
he beat Lopez (twice) when he was the lb for lb the best, then he beat Gomez when he was lb for lb the best, then he beat Azumah Nelson when he was the best that makes Sanchez the undisputed pound for pound of all time in my book!!!
Not only did have talent and charisma but he had what alot of what fighters don't have today and that's him bieng humble rest in peace champ you were a dream...
i never seen a kid at his age master the science of boxing at such a young age and beat wilfredo and nelson with no problem made them look like bums and they wernt bums.. the only person that could defeat sanchez was death and i beat he even had a hard time .... r.i.p. campion
I am puertorican but I have to say that Salvador Sanchez was one of the best mexican fighters I have ever seen, and I did watch Gomez vs Sanchez fight live back in 82'. too bad that his life was cut too short. RIP Champ.
I honestly don´t believe JCC is the greatest Mexican boxer ever, I think he is the one with the most publicity. I think Sal, Puas and Saldivar where better than him, no disrespect the man is a legend and an amazing boxer.
I never realized so much bs could be fit into such a small space until I read the post of the Clueless Clown. Somebody should get the Guiness Book of World Records to document this.
Clueless Clown:
"Nobody ever beat JCC in his prime."
"Nobody ever TKO'd JCC or beat him up until his 95th fight or something."
In 1990, Meldrick Taylor outpunched the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez, in Chavez's "prime," 5 to 1, and was leading on the scorecards by 7, 6, and 2 points when the despicable Richard Steele stopped the fight with 10 seconds remaining.
Hello, anybody home?
In 1993, Pernell Whitaker toyed with the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez, in Chavez's 89th fight, and won at least 10 of the 12 rounds, but the paid-off judges score it a draw.
"Lockridge was still on top his game. Everybody knows that. Ask Wilfredo Gomez."
In 1985, Lockridge lost a majority decision to Wilfredo Gomez. In reality, Gomez was never the same fighter after Sanchez destroyed him in 1981, when, incidentally, Gomez was in his prime. Azumah Nelson KOed Gomez in 1984.
(continued) By 1985, Gomez was just a shell of the fighter he had been in 1981. But a washed-up Gomez still beats Lockridge which means Lockridge was well past his prime in 1985.
In 1986, a washed-up Lockridge fought the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez in the 43rd fight of a 53-fight career, in other towards the end of his career, and lost a majority decision which means one judge called it a draw.
Compare the Sanchez Laporte fight with the Chavez LaPorte fight. Sanchez toys with LaPorte and still wins 12 of the 15 rounds. The cloddy Neanderthal Chavez struggles with LaPorte and barely wins.
Juan LaPorte proclaims that Salvador Sanchez is the best fighter he has ever faced.
@omegapoint0 And I agree with you, Chavez way overrated, Sanchez was a gifted boxer and Chavez was a brawler who faced only brawlers. When he faced boxers he got toyed with. Sanchez on the other hand was a masterful boxer. Chavez=media hype, Sanchez=All time great boxer...
@BROWNREDFOWL Sanchez beat two hall of fame fighters in their prime in Gomez and Nelson. He beat Laporte way worse than Chavez, Chavez got a gift vs LaPorte and Sanchez punished him for 15 rounds. Chavez never beat a hall of fame opponent in his prime. Name one...
@chifuli1974 azabache martinez,chapo rosario,roger mayweather,meldrick taylor,hector camacho,greg haugen...before u get pussy let me just tell u on the taylor fight steel ask meldrick if he was ok twice taylor couldnt answer so thats a LOSS
@BROWNREDFOWL Not one of those mentioned is a hall of fame fighter. NOT ONE. Camacho may be one one day, Taylor got just screwed by a sloppy ref who could've seen the red lioght or ask him to walk to wards him. Rosario, Mayweather, Haugen and Camacho are not hall of famers. Neither is Martinez...
@chifuli1974 they are all hall of famers man and chavez wooped them BAD taykir got brain damage after that fight for taking a savage beating liek no other chavez oponent u just cant compare a 23 year olds carrer to a 13 year undeafeted carrer in chavez
my dream is to become the best Mexican fighter but i dont think i can ever be as great as my idol and country man Salvador Sanchez who showed the world what we Mexicans are capable of when we r motivated.....thank you Chava every time i win is thanks to you......hope that when i die ill be able to me u....
danchez was one of my favourite fighters growing up. He just seemed to take evrybody for a loop. He was supppose to lose to Lopez, but defied popular opinion. If you listened to the experts, Sanchez was going to get killed by Gomez, but the opposite was true. And by the time people began to truly appreciate Sanchez he died. On the day of my gradfather's funeral, my uncle informed me that Sanchez died in a high speed crash. It was one of the saddest day's of my life.
Lockridge was still on top his game. Everybody knows that. Ask Wilfredo Gomez. JCC took that fight on 30 day notice. Had to starve to make weight. Facts.
Nobody ever beat JCC in his prime. Could Sanchez? We'll never know. One thing is for certain,it wouldn't be "easy".
Nobody ever TKO'd JCC or beat him up until his 95th fight or something. To say Sanchez would've is to deny REALITY.
Becerra hurt Sanchez and dropped him. End of story.
@TheChoice264 I'm sorry, I just don't like the idea of Sanchez fans bashing JCC. I see it constantly. Why? Why you feel the need? They were BOTH magnificient CHAMPIONS. And NOBODY EVER represented and fought with more PRIDE and HONOR for their country than JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ. NOBODY!!! He wore the mexican flag and brought it into the ring and fought for his people. Yet some Sanchez fans want to try and dis-credit this unbelievable fighter. Why? Sal would be PROUD of Julio for carrying the torch
if sanchez didnt die he would have been bigger than chavez. Faster, stronger and unbelievable stamina. Imagine before he died they were making negotiations of sanchez vs arguello or a rematch with Gomez. But just imagine that fight arguello and sanchez if it happen
@MrMurcialago Again, it is a great dis-service to Sanchez to mention Ali in the same breath. Sanchez was the complete package in the same league as a Robinson,Duran,Arguello,Chavez,Louis,Moore,etc.; men who were masters of the craft as a WHOLE. Ali mastered a few things and did them very well,but he lacked many tools and talents that these men had and mastered. If i could have one of these men teach my son the Sweet Science,it would be Sanchez i give my money to.
@TheChoice264 well thats very nice sanchez was a beast no lie! but ali waz just sumthing else ok but both of them where great but in m opinion ali is the greatest of all time
@MrMurcialago I agree. I do think Ali was one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time. It's between Ali,Louis,and Marciano. If anyone would want to put him #1 amongst the heavyweights i wouldn't have a problem with that. But,pound for pound,as far as boxing skill goes,there were many fighters who could do alot more,and did alot more than Ali did. I just meant that Sanchez had a much greater arsenol than Ali did. Ali was a great,great fighter though.
I beat Salvador Sanchez. I knocked him out in the 10th round. It was a tough fight. We went toe to toe and I remember I was knocked down. I got up and continued the fight. I stopped Salvador with a flurry of punches to the head. The ref counted him out. Then, i woke up and realized that it was only a DREAM that I had. lol
duster1r....Sanchez was very good, but to say that he was the number one featherweight of all time, better than the great Willie Pep, is a stretch of the imagination. Pep won 229 bouts, lost 11 and drew once. Pep fought a total of 1956 rounds. Sanchez had 44 wins and one loss. That is a great record, but we will never know if Sanchez could have equaled or surpassed Pep. We know what Pep's recored is. Pep is considered among the 10 greatest fighters of all time.
he was a perfected boxer around the time he died,and only 23.
imagine what he could have done around his late 20s.
he is the greatest in my eyes, and makes me proud to be mexican.
19 year old saul alvarez (32-0-1) is deff the next thing outta mexico,but salvador will always be the best. R.I.P salvador sanchez, you are the best name coming out of mexico. thanks for uploading this.
I have personally only viewed four other fighters who had talents comparable to the talents of the great Salvador Sanchez. And I viewed them on old fight videos. They were Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Joe Gans, and Benny Leonard.
Therefore I rate Salvador Sanchez as one of the five greatest fighters of all time.
@omegapoint0 I would put Harry Greb in top 5 of all time! The greatest Middleweight ever & ony man to beat Gene Tunney. Also Jimmy Wilde from Wales, "the Ghost with the hammer in his hand", with either 99 or 100 Knock Outs depending on source! He was ranked 3rd hardest puncher ever by Ring Magazine, for 108lb fighter that is amazing!
The most perfect boxer ever born. Great chin, great speed, great in-fighter, great counter-puncher, great foot work, great power, I could go on and on. He was just as complete of a fighter as Ray Robinson, Ali, any of them. Obviously he didn*t have the amount of accomplishments that they did, but he would have.
@nippytaytay Well said, one of the most complete fighters I've ever seen. He would've probably moved up in weight and would've definitely beaten Alexis Arguello and Aaron Pryor. He may have eventually fought Chavez for the title of greatest Mexican fighter ever...alot of debate on who would've won that fight, but one thing is for sure, it's a shame that Sanchez never got that chance. It's amazing how much he accomplished by the time he was 23 yrs old.
@joneslt I think beating Arguello and specially Pryor with such weight difference might be a bit off, but he was one of the great ones and a complete fighter nevertheless.
And this is a Puerto Rican saying it! I've been to the stadium in which he won the title in Phoenix, to the gym he trained at and even spoke with Bobby Ferrara referee of the Sanchez-Lopez I fight.
Even as Gomez is my favorite fighter of all time, all of the above was a great honor to me.
@AntonioSantiago Well said friend,. Sancez also seemed like a very humble guy...a class act from what I've seen. If you are Puerto Rican, then champtions like Gomez, Benitez, Laporte, Camacho, Trinidad & Cotto, have given you alot to be proud of. There are not too many places in the world that have produced fighters like these guys, and I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.
@nippytaytay You are obviously a true boxing historian my friend. Chava knocked out and ruined forever a then thought to be unbeatable Gomez and dismantled all his peers. All time greatest is not an exageration.
I think Salvador was a much more dynamic fighter than Chavez. Talent wise, a prime Chavez might have been even with the 23 year old Salvador. If Salvador would have been
able to make it to 26 or 27, he would have beat Chavez. But this is only my opinion vs your opinion.
@nippytaytay Look up the definition of "dynamic". I don't see how you could say one was any more than the other. A prime Chavez "might" have been "even" with a 23 yr. old Sanchez? A prime Chavez never lost or drew,or got dropped,let alone to the likes of an Antonio Becerra and Juan Escobar.
We must logically assume that Sanchez was at his peak at 23. What one cannot assume is that he would've been even better at 27. Nobody knows how long a fighter's prime lasts. Some lose it overnight.
@nippytaytay I agree with most of what you said here,except that Ali was definately NOT a complete fighter. Not even close to being a complete fighter. You're doing Sanchez a great dis-service by mentioning Ali in the same breath in this context. Lets not confuse the word "complete" with the word GREAT. Ali was a great fighter,not a complete fighter. He did a few things very well,which is all it takes for some in Boxing. Ali could be exploited,Sanchez couldn't.
@nippytaytay Salvador Sanchez vs. Julio C. Chavez at Jr. Lightweight?Sanchez vs. Pacquiao at Featherweight?Sanchez vs. Zarate at Feather?Sanchez vs. Pep at Feather?Sanchez vs. Armstrong at Feather?Sanchez vs. Saddler at Feather?Sanchez vs. Saldivar at Feather?
I should have said ''as perfect a fighter who was ever born''. Once fighters get to a certain level it is pointless to compare them. To me though he was at least level with anyone skill wise.
@nippytaytay To be honest, I think Sanchez was a legend but he was far from perfect. IMO, I think the greatest Mexican fighter was Julio Cesar Chavez and second was Finito Lopez who is often over looked. Sanchez was relentless though in his attack and punch output.
Obviously if you look at the totality of their careers, then one will conclude that JCC was the best. However this is not my point. My point is that he was a perfect fighter. He had no weaknesses at his time of death. JCC was a very skilled fighter, with a very specific style, body-puncher/destroyer, that he was so good at he didn't need to adapt. Once he fought fought someone with movement, Meldrick T., Pernell W., he was screwed.
@nippytaytay Well I understood your point and I still think Chavez was better overall. Most people like the ignorant one's here (not you) talking negatively of Chavez don't understand boxing very well. Chavez was a complete fighter, it's just that Whitaker was one of the greatest defensive fighters ever. As far as Taylor, he received a serious beating in that fight and he was never the same. Chavez was a surgeon, his tenacity and accuracy was unmatched IMO.
@nippytaytay um.. no, he wasn't as gifted as ali or any of the sugars... come on. he would have been an atg given time, but he didnt have time or the necessary opposition.
First of all, Robinson was 23, the year Sanchez was when he died, in 1944. How many fights of Robinson's from that era have you actually even seen? Are you even qualified to make such a call? Most likely you have seen a couple of grainy highlight reels of him during the 50s. You are just repeating what you have heard about his greatness.
Ali, and Robinson were great fighters who were simply in a league of their own, against tough, but primitive competition.
@nippytaytay because robinson had over 50 fights at 23 and had beaten tough greats by that time, dozens of them. and the only difference is that through technology you can now see different angles that show close-up the punches and styles better. fists, speed, timing, chin, heart.. that is timeless. primitive is the definition of boxing. sanchez does not belong in any historian's top 50. period. c'mon, man. who tested him, at least chavez had taylor.
Also, watch his dismantling of of Wilfredo Gomez, who was 32-0-2 32 ko's 13 time defending champ at super bantum. I know he is no Jake La Motta(LOL) But very good. And watch his dismantling of the great Azumah Nelson. Although young at the time Nelson would be world champ within a couple years. Suger Ray fought a bunch of guys who smoked an drank during training, and had 10-15 losses each.
Anyway, I already stated that this is all subjective opinion, so arguing is futile. Cheers.
@nippytaytay azuma had a dozen fights at the time and gomez was an addict by that time. sanchez never had someone to lift him to the level of greatness that say ali had through frazier, norton, shavers, foreman, etc. or holyfield with tyson, bowe, qawi, lewes, etc. there is no " argument" the man could never prove his "greatness", he showed gifts and potencial. that's it.
@angelrod75 JJja Boricua still making up excuses for Wilfredo Gomez geatting whupped by Sanchez,make up your mind and stay with one excuseyou say he was on drugs smoking crack,I thought he lost because he had sex and his knees were weak,and then he said that he did not know he was fighting for a Championship,very sad that we have so many sore losers.
we never saw half of what Salvador could have produced you can see in all his fights its like a walk in tnhe park for him!!!

@barajas1500 Para mi, Salvador Sanchez ha sido el boxeador de mas calidad que ha tenido Mexico, seguido de cerca por Finito López, pero acuerdate que de haber peleado contra Arguello iba ser en las 130 libras, no en las 126, lo que representaba una ventaja para el nica Arguello que era un campeón solido en ese peso. El pronostico habria sido reservado!! saludos, amigo!

Stevejayes1975, I have to disagree with your calling JCC a "great fighter."
JCC was a "good fighter" with a "great record."
The JCC fans who post in the Sanchez videos are obviously insecure about JCC in comparison to Sanchez. That is why they post their bs here.
If JCC angered Sanchez, Sanchez would have destroyed him as he did Gomez.
If JCC kept quiet, Sanchez would have taken it easy on him and toyed with him as he did with Perez and LaPorte.

In 1990, Meldrick Taylor outpunched the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez, in Chavez's "prime," 5 to 1, and was leading on the scorecards by 7, 6, and 2 points when the despicable Richard Steele stopped the fight with 10 seconds remaining.
Hello, anybody home?
In 1993, Pernell Whitaker toyed with the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez, in Chavez's 89th fight, and won at least 10 of the 12 rounds, but the paid-off judges score it a draw.

(continued) By 1985, Gomez was just a shell of the fighter he had been in 1981. But a washed-up Gomez still beats Lockridge which means Lockridge was well past his prime in 1985.
In 1986, a washed-up Lockridge fought the cloddy, Neanderthal Chavez in the 43rd fight of a 53-fight career, in other towards the end of his career, and lost a majority decision which means one judge called it a draw.

Compare the Sanchez Laporte fight with the Chavez LaPorte fight. Sanchez toys with LaPorte and still wins 12 of the 15 rounds. The cloddy Neanderthal Chavez struggles with LaPorte and barely wins.

danchez was one of my favourite fighters growing up. He just seemed to take evrybody for a loop. He was supppose to lose to Lopez, but defied popular opinion. If you listened to the experts, Sanchez was going to get killed by Gomez, but the opposite was true. And by the time people began to truly appreciate Sanchez he died. On the day of my gradfather's funeral, my uncle informed me that Sanchez died in a high speed crash. It was one of the saddest day's of my life.
soccerdogg007 1 year ago
It is utter blasphemy to even mention Chavez in the same sentence as the great Sanchez.
In Chavez's prime, he barely won a decision against a washed-up Rocky Lockridge. If Lockridge was in his prime, he would have easily beaten Chavez.
In a 12 round fight, Sanchez would win an easy decision.
In a 15-round fight, Sanchez would TKO a beat-up Chavez in the 13th or 14th round.
By the way, Sanchez really won his fight aginst Antonio Becerra; Becerra was "gifted" a hometown split-decision
omegapoint0 1 year ago
@omegapoint0 What you said is utter ignorance.
Lockridge was still on top his game. Everybody knows that. Ask Wilfredo Gomez. JCC took that fight on 30 day notice. Had to starve to make weight. Facts.
Nobody ever beat JCC in his prime. Could Sanchez? We'll never know. One thing is for certain,it wouldn't be "easy".
Nobody ever TKO'd JCC or beat him up until his 95th fight or something. To say Sanchez would've is to deny REALITY.
Becerra hurt Sanchez and dropped him. End of story.

@TheChoice264 I'm sorry, I just don't like the idea of Sanchez fans bashing JCC. I see it constantly. Why? Why you feel the need? They were BOTH magnificient CHAMPIONS.

Yet some Sanchez fans want to try and dis-credit this unbelievable fighter. Why? Sal would be PROUD of Julio for carrying the torch

Sanchez was the complete package in the same league as a Robinson,Duran,Arguello,Chavez,Louis,Moore,etc.; men who were masters of the craft as a WHOLE. Ali mastered a few things and did them very well,but he lacked many tools and talents that these men had and mastered. If i could have one of these men teach my son the Sweet Science,it would be Sanchez i give my money to.

@MrMurcialago I agree. I do think Ali was one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time. It's between Ali,Louis,and Marciano. If anyone would want to put him #1 amongst the heavyweights i wouldn't have a problem with that. But,pound for pound,as far as boxing skill goes,there were many fighters who could do alot more,and did alot more than Ali did. I just meant that Sanchez had a much greater arsenol than Ali did. Ali was a great,great fighter though.

Pep won 229 bouts, lost 11 and drew once. Pep fought a total of 1956 rounds. Sanchez had 44 wins and one loss. That is a great record, but we will never know if Sanchez could have equaled or surpassed Pep. We know what Pep's recored is. Pep is considered among the 10 greatest fighters of all time.

I have personally only viewed four other fighters who had talents comparable to the talents of the great Salvador Sanchez. And I viewed them on old fight videos. They were Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Joe Gans, and Benny Leonard.

The most perfect boxer ever born. Great chin, great speed, great in-fighter, great counter-puncher, great foot work, great power, I could go on and on.

nippytaytay 2 years ago 33
@nippytaytay Well said, one of the most complete fighters I've ever seen. He would've probably moved up in weight and would've definitely beaten Alexis Arguello and Aaron Pryor. He may have eventually fought Chavez for the title of greatest Mexican fighter ever...alot of debate on who would've won that fight, but one thing is for sure, it's a shame that Sanchez never got that chance. It's amazing how much he accomplished by the time he was 23 yrs old.
joneslt 2 years ago
@joneslt I think beating Arguello and specially Pryor with such weight difference might be a bit off, but he was one of the great ones and a complete fighter nevertheless.
And this is a Puerto Rican saying it! I've been to the stadium in which he won the title in Phoenix, to the gym he trained at and even spoke with Bobby Ferrara referee of the Sanchez-Lopez I fight.
Even as Gomez is my favorite fighter of all time, all of the above was a great honor to me.

@AntonioSantiago Well said friend,. Sancez also seemed like a very humble guy...a class act from what I've seen.

There are not too many places in the world that have produced fighters like these guys, and I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.

@TheChoice264
I think Salvador was a much more dynamic fighter than Chavez. Talent wise, a prime Chavez might have been even with the 23 year old Salvador. If Salvador would have been
able to make it to 26 or 27, he would have beat Chavez. But this is only my opinion vs your opinion.
nippytaytay 1 year ago
@nippytaytay Look up the definition of "dynamic". I don't see how you could say one was any more than the other. A prime Chavez "might" have been "even" with a 23 yr. old Sanchez? A prime Chavez never lost or drew,or got dropped,let alone to the likes of an Antonio Becerra and Juan Escobar.
We must logically assume that Sanchez was at his peak at 23. What one cannot assume is that he would've been even better at 27. Nobody knows how long a fighter's prime lasts. Some lose it overnight.
TheChoice264 1 year ago
@nippytaytay I agree with most of what you said here,except that Ali was definately NOT a complete fighter. Not even close to being a complete fighter. You're doing Sanchez a great dis-service by mentioning Ali in the same breath in this context. Lets not confuse the word "complete" with the word GREAT. Ali was a great fighter,not a complete fighter. He did a few things very well,which is all it takes for some in Boxing. Ali could be exploited,Sanchez couldn't.

Obviously if you look at the totality of their careers, then one will conclude that JCC was the best. However this is not my point. My point is that he was a perfect fighter. He had no weaknesses at his time of death. JCC was a very skilled fighter, with a very specific style, body-puncher/destroyer, that he was so good at he didn't need to adapt. Once he fought fought someone with movement, Meldrick T., Pernell W., he was screwed.
This is all objective though so cheers.

@nippytaytay Well I understood your point and I still think Chavez was better overall. Most people like the ignorant one's here (not you) talking negatively of Chavez don't understand boxing very well. Chavez was a complete fighter, it's just that Whitaker was one of the greatest defensive fighters ever. As far as Taylor, he received a serious beating in that fight and he was never the same. Chavez was a surgeon, his tenacity and accuracy was unmatched IMO.

First of all, Robinson was 23, the year Sanchez was when he died, in 1944. How many fights of Robinson's from that era have you actually even seen? Are you even qualified to make such a call? Most likely you have seen a couple of grainy highlight reels of him during the 50s. You are just repeating what you have heard about his greatness.
Ali, and Robinson were great fighters who were simply in a league of their own, against tough, but primitive competition.
nippytaytay 7 months ago
@nippytaytay because robinson had over 50 fights at 23 and had beaten tough greats by that time, dozens of them. and the only difference is that through technology you can now see different angles that show close-up the punches and styles better. fists, speed, timing, chin, heart.. that is timeless. primitive is the definition of boxing. sanchez does not belong in any historian's top 50. period. c'mon, man. who tested him, at least chavez had taylor.
