@@hanzagod You're the Man

Definitely on Mt Rushmore of the Mexican greats

Pfft hating Eddie Reynoso said Sanchez had no technical skills only had resistance

Canelo is great no doubt he showed the new generation that the Mexican style of boxing is more than brawling and showed defense, feints, and power. But if you asked me who is the pinnacle of technical approach of Mexican boxing style, I'd say Salvador Sanchez in a heartbeat.

@@spanishrock Even with a awkward style, Sánchez was more technical than Canelo, there is no comparison.

@@j.a.s6266 facts

@@spanishrock All of reynosos fighters lack technique even his prodigy Canelo. Canelo defense, head/waist movement is impeccable and his body punching and counter IQ is some of the greatest in this era but look at the fighters under reynoso camp. Canelo, Julio Cesar Martinez, Oscar Valdez, the Cuban HW frank Sanchez etc all lack technical ability. For him to say Sanchez lacked technique is a slap in the face to himself even mike Tyson laughed in their faces when they said that to him in his podcast. Sanchez looked awkward bc of constant footwork he could swap stands or continue to throw dozens of punches backing up or moving laterally not just moving forward. Any fighter that tries to throw combinations on the back foot or moving laterally will look awkward bc your feet aren’t set how they’re supposed. Yet Sanchez made it work at an elite level that should tell you how great he was. Sanchez could fight at all 3 distances inside, mid range and from the outside on his back foot.

Willie Pep

willie pep. sanchez died too young RIP

Yup I agree. Nelson went 11 years without losing a fight after his loss to Sal Sanchez. That says alot too

Willie Pep declaró que no hubiera aceptado una pelea contra Sánchez. Salvador Sánchez es el mejor boxeador de todos los tiempos 🥊

@@franagustin3094 nah

I think the best ever.

@@curtiscarpenter9881 fax he was an all time great at 23 years while Floyd Mayweather cherry-picked

@@connormason4259 Always a guy to mention Mayweather smh... Floyd lives rent free in hour head and he fought nothing but world class opposition during the second half of his career

@@skippylegrandgourou777 Floyd Mayweather cherry-picked Saul “ Canelo “ Alvarez, and he also ducked Antonio Margarito, and Wrinky Wright, if Salvador Sanchez fought Floyd Mayweather he would dismember him, and he’s also afraid of Mexicans

@@connormason4259 bro y you gotta mention floyde. Can we leave him out of this one ?? The video has nothing to do to with floyde and I like floyde but danm

fax if he lived for longer i would rank him as the greatest mexican

@@zach-iq9xy Ricardo Lopez the best

@@HugoSanchez-eb2pz Sanchez is the greatest even at his young age but finito Lopez is 2 no doubt. Folks overrate Chavez even tho he is an all time great as well he wasn’t the boxer Sanchez and Lopez were

They said that he ran 8-10 miles a day at high altitude

thats chavez

Barring the stylistic differences in weight classes, I always felt Canelo inherited Sal's legacy. Both are incredibly well rounded fights, and the cornerstone of their roundedness is in their counterpunching, but they're able to fight inside and outside.

@@Aphorim very true but skill wise i rank sanchez higher because canelo still has slow feet

@@zach-iq9xy Canelo is better, slow feet doesn't mean anything. Joseph Louis had slow feet, he's still the greatest HW ever.

@@Aphorim Joe Louis is objectively not the greatest heavyweight ever lol. Come on now.

I'd think his head movement more than his footwork

yes indeed

@@seetsamolapo5600 they both play a crucial role. Sanchez would step out of distance just enough where he could move his head out the way of incoming punches yet maintain the distance to where he could land his counters. The fact that Sanchez could fight moving backwards, laterally or forward says how great his footwork was. He could bob and weave at an elite level like many many fighters but he is one of the very few fighters that could fight at an elite level at all 3 distances, the inside, mid range and from long range on his back foot. There’s not many fighters in history you can say had that level of skill and footwork

@@topdawg182 which other fighters excelled at all three ranges? I think perhaps I've been focused too much on his midrange ability and bobbing and weaving that I neglected focusing on those other skills. But would you say he could do outboxing on the level of a Mayweather or Haney?

​@@seetsamolapo5600Mayweather and Haney are nothing compared to him 😅😂

Right, though Salva had power too...

Unlike shakur haney and hitchins salvador sanchez had power 76%

only if he lived longer.....................

SOB died on us 😔....

@@FranciscoGarcia-mv3km there’s probably been a lot of potential boxers killed that we don’t know about. Just happens

Nelson didint lose another fight for 11 years after his loss to Chava. That says alot

95% of Mexicans would agree

Just not enough longevity to be considered for that unfortunately but undoubtedly a great fighter.

@@hanzagod In that short time had 4 title defenses..Fought starting from the #1 contender then worked is way down..beat Gomez after he undefeated..if I remember correctly 30 wins all by ko...if Sanchez wouldn't have passed Chavez sr would haven't been as great as he was. One of a kind fighter other that Ray Robinson.

@@hanzagod Btw ...Great videos best I've seen. Thank you

Sanchez is behind Willie Pep, Sandy Saddler and Henry Armstrong for me. Top 4 is a great achievement though.

Well of course not Sanchez is a top 5 all time great at Featherweight and the division today isn't strong at all, one of the weakest in fact.

Jtwig - Everyday Change

Haha yeah of course most of his opponents are still alive and well. It's not like it was 80 years ago or something

@@hanzagod ok, but I wanna know what they said, I wanna hear their experience in the ring with El Macho himself Salvador Sanchez 🇲🇽🫡✊️

Ruben Castillo who fought many great fighters including Alexis Arguello stated that Sanchez "was pretty tall for the featherweight division; his arm length was crazy. He was a very good boxer, he had a great jab and he was tough to hit. He was probably one of the smartest fighters I ever fought. The only problem with Salvador Sanchez was he was not a real big puncher." He said Chavez and Arguello were the greatest fighters he fought and he rates them both over Sanchez.

Here's a link to the post: www.ringtv.com/619863-best-i-faced-ruben-castillo/

he was great

But u can’t deny if he fought until 40 he would’ve been the greatest and it wouldn’t ever be close at the rate he was learning

I mean, He was taken way too fast and had already defeated 4 or 5 future HOF.. he was destined to be the best and that’s where we’ll put him.

Most Mexicans would agree too

Who said he was? Sanchez is an all time great but he wasn't an all out defensive fighter, his counter punching was incredible.

Sanchez had the better resume. Lopez was a fantastic fighter and dominant but his era wasn't exactly the strongest and he fought a lot of weaker opponents during his reign. Chavez is the man that most consider to be the best.

​@@hanzagodChavez wasn't as skilled and technical as those two

@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 I wouldn't say he was far from them though, technique isn't the only thing factoring in when you rank someone in a historical sense. Chavez was dominant for a very long period of time.
