Salvador Sanchez tha only man to stop Nelson

[beautifulandsilent]

when asked who was the best fighter he's ever fought, the professor stated it was Salvador Sanchez, not the great Whitaker, who he thought was the best. not to take anything from sweet pea, he was a defensive genius, but sanchez was also something special and to die at 23 he was still a kid and hadn't even reached his prime yet. in another words at that age he still could of gotten better than he already was.

@Jorsalfar I AGREE!!

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 No I think Mayweather can beat Pacman especially after watching Pac struggle AGAIN against Marquez but I think BOTH are SCARED of each other.DUDE they should have fought each other twice by now!!All they have done is argue over what BLOOD TESTS to take.Dude thats SHIT!!The most feared boxer in the lower weights back in the early 80's was the GREAT ALEXIS ARGUELLO at 135 lbs.SAL signed to move up to 135 & face him.A couple of days later SAL dies on his way to training.

@mannybrucesalvador Do you think Pacman is better then Pretty Boy Floyd?

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 his best punches & never flinched.Gomez was also a very good boxer but it didnt matter SAL was on another LEVEL.HELL SAL was never winded in a fight.SAL would have outclassed your boy worse than what Barrera did to him.CORKSCREW UPPERCUT!! YEAH RIGHT!!SAL would have seen that coming from a mile away!!SORRY but I dont think much of your boy as a fighter.I was never impressed by him & frankly SCARED FIGHTERS like NAZ dont deserve to be mentioned with GREATS like SANCHEZ!!

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 HAHAHAHA!!Your boy was to scared to lace gloves on again after losing for the first time against a good tough fighter.Dude he didnt want to go thru that again & it took him a whole yr to get back in the ring against some journeyman obviously brought in so NAZ could get his confidence back but it didnt help.He retired because he was SCARED to get HIT HARD again!!Wilfredo Gomez was 32-0-1 32 ko's & considered one of the hardest punchers in boxing when he faced SAL.SAL took

[jason60152]

@mannybrucesalvador Naz be off balance that is why it looks like he is about to fall.Barrera didn't hurt Naz in the fight.Naz fought another guy after Barrera and won the european belt.Do your research.Sal never faced a fighter like Naz with his punching power and style of fighting.Naz would have hit him with that corkscrew uppercut and knock Sal out!

[mannybrucesalvador]

@GrandPappyJeffz Well Whitaker turned pro in 85 & fought for his first belt in his 15th bout against RAMIREZ.SANCHEZ SIGNED to fight ALEXIS ARGUELLO the lightweight champ REMEMBER HIM days before he died back in AUG 82.SAL dying is the reason ARGUELLO went up in weight to fight PRYOR.I believe that SAL was going to give him a BOXING LESSON.Its possible that Sal would have been CHAMP when CAMACHO,CHAVEZ,WHITAKER,TAYLOR & others were coming up.They were lucky he was gone!!

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 Sorry but your boy got PUNKED & he didnt like it!!Hector Camacho nearly got knocked out by Chapo Rosario & adopted a run & hold style after that it took him yrs to get his heart back.BUT he didnt RETIRE!!SAL took his loss & his draw & learned from it.He didnt retire like a SCARED little kid!!SORRY but NAZ talked a big game but couldnt back it up.Barrera exposed him in that fight.SAL would have KNOCKED THAT BOY OUT!! R.I.P CHAMP!!

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 What makes you think I forgot SAL lost a fight.His record was 44-1-1 34 ko's.The loss was a home town decision for the Mexican National Bantamweight Championship against Antonio Becerra.The draw against Juan Escobar in L.A.NAZ retired with the belt?What belt NOT the one he lost to BARRERA!!Dude NAZ was a good fighter but NOT GREAT.GREAT FIGHTERS get back in the gym & back in the ring & FIGHT!!NOT RETIRE!!NAZ had a scared & scittish look on his face in that fight.

[mannybrucesalvador]

@jason60152 Yeah your right he lost his love for the fight game in that fight alright.You can say he LOST HIS HEART once he got BEAT!!Barrera barley beat NAZ?SORRY from my point of view MARCO was carrying him rnd after rnd to punish him.Barrera didnt want to knock him out but it sure looked like NAZ was ready to hit the canvas and stay there.Whether or not if NAZ hit harder than SAL doesnt make any difference SAL was a MASTER BOXER & he would have gave the PRINCE a BOXING LESSON.
