For what he did in his short career was amazing and it makes you wonder what he would’ve accomplished if he didn’t pass on. Could’ve gone down as the featherweight goat and maybe moved up a few classes as well.
Indeed the Aztec gods really blessed us with this man of warrior
@@yawontsmokemebicth4922 yeah fr there will never be another quite like him.
@@sappynoodle7276 "never be another quite like him" can apply to a lot of legendary iconic fighters no doubt
The what if goat. Idol had everything to be the greatest. He could fight 30 rounds easily
@@yawontsmokemebicth4922only thing this vato is the exemption to the rule.
I love that a young man like you knows the history of boxing and pays tribute to greats like Sal Sanchez. Much respect brother .
its called google search
@@Anonymousdeletedaccount... your even lamer by commenting on a comment
@@bryangucci1782no der but at least he gave him his respect
@@Rzr_j701 you right 🫡
Quick google search and I could find out more. You’re so cute, pops
At least he showed the world who he was.
Its like he was sent to thus world to do just that.show what he could do in boxing
Like a comet genius flashed across our paths and then burnt up & disappeared after showing its brilliance ☄️
@@intelin123I wouldn’t mind my legacy including “Arguable Featherweight GOAT and Mexican boxing GOAT”
He was taken from us too soon
He was supposed to go on and fight Alexis arguello who is among the top 10 arguable top 5 greatest fighters to come out of Latin America dead or alive
Both Sanchez and arguello are probably considered among the top 15-10 greatest to come out of Latin America
If Sanchez would have beaten arguello he goes down as the undisputed greatest to come out of mexico no question
Imagine if arguelllo would have beaten Sanchez…
He probably goes down as the second greatest boxer to come out of Latin America behind Roberto hands of stone Duran…
He was supposed to fight Eusebio Pedroza too who is regarded as the 2nd greatest boxer to come out of Panama behind duran…
If Salvador Sanchez were to beat arguello the greatest to come out of Nicaragua and pedroza which would have been an extremely extremely tall task
He would have probably went down as the second greatest boxer to come out of Latin America behind Roberto Duran
The best fighter on his level.
Never got tired
Damn you beat me by 2 weeks, like Sal did 😁
Imagine going 13 rounds..... the stamina some of these old school boxers had was madness idk how they had unlimited stamina like that.
Señor pulmones. QEPD🙏🏾
They had to stop going 15 rounds because people kept dying
Rest in peace to all the brave gladiators
They called him 3 lungs. He was out this world 😮
You Ain't Lying, Salvador Sanchez Was A One Of A Kind Brilliant Boxer And Very Humble Human Being. There Will Never Be Someone Like Him,Not Even Close.R-I-P Brother.
He was one of the greatest.... Boxer to me he was the best......
En Paz Descanse Campeón Mexicano Chava Sánchez 🇲🇽
Died at 23 and still managed to beat three hof inductees
And that was back before they gave out belts like candy at Halloween!

THANKS FOR REMEMBERING THIS ONE OF A KIND BOXER LEGEND .!!
The most naturally gifted fighter of all time. The ring general, master of all masters.
WOW! THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING HIM, MAY HE RIP. I ALWAYS SAID SAL SANCHEZ WAS THE BEST EVER, POUND FOR POUND! 😢
Can’t forget when he fought Ahzuma Nelson. Thats was a great fight.
My favorite feather weight boxer. He was awesome, no doubt. Amen! I sure miss him.❤
El Mejor de Todos Los Tiempos.
Salvador Sánchez 🥊🇲🇽
The best boxer of all times, and my idol forever !! 🥊🇲🇽🥊🇲🇽🥊🇲🇽
But Floyd 🥊Mayweather says he "is the" best. 😂

seeing Don King's hand holding up his arm like if he was some prize fighting chicken, makes me angry 😡

Thank you 🙏🏽 from the SÁNCHEZ FAMILA! 🫶🏼🫡
The best in Mexico ❤ en paz descanse Campeon
This is the best boxer ever in the history of the sport
His style is crazy good. If I could fight like any boxer I would want to fight just like him.
Definitely one of the greatest of all time.
Salvador Sanchez was the King of Boxing 🥊 Rip Champion ❤
He is the greatest featherweight
He was awesome. I was a Danny little red Lopez fan and saw that fight. I was shocked at the outcome but impressed .

Without doubt.
He fought nobody’s
El.mejor de todos los tiempo
Gran Campeon Mexicano
my hero Salvador Sanchez gone too soon but in our hearts he'll live forever
He was legendary. 100%
Rest In Paradise, Salvador “Chava” Sánchez!🙏🏼🥊 ☀️
Seen his fights many times. To me the greatest featherweight and lightweight of all time. Glad you posted and remember him.
All the greats gave him the stamp of approval
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for exposing this forgotten Boxer... I admire how young this kid is and how he admires forgotten Boxers... That Sport is so so tough n brutal and for these guys to be forgotten is a shame but thanks to kids like this we can all see what we had in the 1980s... Thanks buddy, much appreciated... :( :) :)
Haha, no one has forgotten Salvador Sanchez. They say he is your favourite boxers favourite boxer. He is a true legend and one of (if not) the best Mexican boxers of all time. It’s so incredible to watch how efficient he is and how he wastes nothing. Plays with range, ducks down and switches effortlessly from offence to defence. Roy Jone Jr and Mike Tyson both say this fighter is the best they’ve ever seen, and he died at the young age of 23. He had everything you could want in a boxer. Power, speed, footwork, defence, stamina. He had it all
I believe 4 of his opponents who challenged him for the belt ended up becoming Hall of Famers. Willie Pep even stated that he was glad Sal Sanchez wasnt in his era. Una leyenda 🇲🇽
That's correct! Salvador Sánchez was the Master of Master's 🥊🥊
Missed an opportunity to mention he also defeated one of the greatest Boxers in history Azumah Nelson. Great video.
Azuma wasn't the fighter then as he would become, but as good as he was Sal at the level he was would of been still to good. Also Sal would of been better with more fights under his belt. Boxers peak roughly between 28 - 32, so Sal had 5 more yrs or more to be his best version 👍
All them champs included Nelson my friend ididn't miss the great Nelson how would that look for me I'm a boxer and a old street fighter x gangbanger of the 70s80s90s yes I threw them hands for 30 year's 78"/2008"no lie
🫡 old timer glad your still around and made it through all the craziness
RIP champion
Roy Jones says the best skill set he had ever seen belonged to Salvador Sanchez
He said best Mexican fighter.
@@Bub009 Ur wrong - th-cam.com/video/O6EGFJxvj00/w-d-xo.html
@@Bub009 No he said the best boxer. Stop being racist
Best boxer ever Skill wide he said
@@germanmazariegos1949 since you’re being petty - he said skill wise. Theres no such thing as “skill wide”
The best Ever period.
RIP CHAMPION!!
I Remember him
Gotta watch his fights, master counter puncher. We all who love boxing lost so much when he left this world.
R.I.P.
Don't have to say featherweight. SS is the purest fighter I've ever seen. Tyson loves him. Roy Jones loves him. James Toney loves him. Everybody should find out
The best pound for pound boxer🥊
Everyone talks about Chaves but this guys is the true #1 Mexican fighter of all time
Career was way too short but he definitely could have been his skill was insane
He starting boxing at 16 & achieve what he did by 23 is absolutely ridiculous, but Sal did achieve that & more with immortal status since his passing which is well deserved. The what could of been hurts as a boxing fan. I can imagine what his family, friends & Mexico went through, tragedy 🙏❤️🥊
Salvador Sanchez is the greatest Mexican fighter ever and one of the best of all time. He had so many qualities. Salvador has had the best cardio I have ever seen to this day. He'd look the same way between rounds 1 and 15 and without needing to rest one single second in any of those rounds. Had great punching power, awesome footwork, iron chin, head and waist movement, unreal concentration, always threw a variety of different punches, and would never get swollen. Some people have no idea how tiring it is to constantly fight on your toes, but Salvador could do that throughout the entire fight! In his 23 years of age he beat the best African boxer ever and the best Puerto Rican boxer ever, which is still held as the best victory in Mexican boxing. Salvador was regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world above other solid legends like Ray Leonard, Wilfredo Benitez, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Larry Holmes, Alexis Arguello, Thomas Hearns. He inspired other guys who became legends and champions like James Toney, Antonio Tarver and Roy Jones jr.
Nope
Mike Tyson liked him too
@@robhamilton4736yup
Style wise, he's a perfection for every Mexican boxers,I wonder what will happen if he fought Marquez,both are counterpunchers that fought in the pocket,and can trade blows while dominating.
@@TheNeorch Marquez is actually my favorite Mexican fighter, but I admit that Sanchez is the best ever from the country. Unfortunately for Marquez his waist movement wasn't the best and sometimes he would leave himself unguarded during encounters, that's why he got dropped a few times. I don't think Sanchez would've knocked him out, but maybe he would've won like a unanimous decision with a couple knockdowns perhaps
His stamina was unreal.. RIP Champ 🕊️
What are u mean was unrreal ???
@@victotfranco1612 in other words " unbelievable ".
@@victotfranco1612stfu and learn how to write correctly
@@victotfranco1612better than his rivals. Like vs asuma Nelson
He never gets tired 15rounds and he look 👀 like he was in the second round
Sanchez would have gone down as the greatest featherweight ever!
El mejor de todos los tiempos dios lo tenga en la gloria 🙏🙏🙏
Rip to possibly the greatest
Increíble boxeador, una gran perdida para el deporte :c, gran homenaje!
I'm glad to say he's from the town I'm from Sadly how he's life ended one of the best boxers ever lived
A true master
He should have honored by Hollywood making a great movie.
Sanchez was special. Rest easy Champ!
Fue un gran deportista carismático , respetuoso, humilde , disciplinado, gran esgrimista del boxeo , reconocido como un gran campeón guerrero mexicano , q todas sus peleas fueren interesantes con gran espectáculo para todos los aficionados muy admirado EPD.
Gomez was not just undefeated. He had 32 wins and 32 knockouts at the time.
And gomez went into the match being the heavy favorite
Exactly right mate, l watched it 2 days ago. Gomez had a tremendous career after this loss to Sal, so fffing sad to lose someone so special so young. Maybe we should just be grateful to be able to see a flash of genius 👍
Viva salvador Sánchez la leyenda
El águila invensible 🦅
What a heartbreaking story Salvador Sanchez is a true legend what fight it would have been to see him and Julio Cesar Chavez go at it would have been a hell of a fight both young and hungry RIP CHAMP ✌️
I hadn't remembered Danny " Little Red" Lopez in a long time. He was the one to beat in the 70s. And Sanchez did it.
Twice, by ko.
Wow....
Who knew someone young like you knows about this great champion! Even I'm young in perspective, he died one year before I was born. Thank you for this!
THE BEST TO HAVE EVER BOXED
El mejor de todos los tiempos. Saludos desde mexico.
Greatest Mexican boxer of all time! Definitely in the elite of international boxers of all time! Most people don’t agree argue that we never got to see him in his “prime”. The fact is that he faced the best in his young age and defeated them by a noticeable margin. Where as Chávez the supposed “greatest Mexican boxer of all time” always struggled against the best, n would win or tie with speculations. Like vs Meldrick Taylor 1 or Pernell Whitaker. Where as Sánchez for example defeated 3 of the greats in his era, Danny Lopez, Wilfredo Gomez and Azuma Nelson. All of them with a great margin. It was as if Sanchez was giving a lesson in boxing. He made them look like students. I grew up watching Chávez fights n thought he was the best, but not till I went back n looked at Salvador Sanchez.
💯💯
I agree with you
I think he was the best fighter in the world. I still remember that damn day of his death. I'm almost sure that God took him to fight with the devil.
MY SAL SÁNCHEZ 😢❤🎉🎉🎉
One of a kind the best
Facts brother. Thank you for this video, he was a legend. He already beat 3 eventual hall of famers before he died. True legend.
So salvador is one of my favorites of all time but little heads up saying shit like this makes you sound like a casual and a dumb one at that. A fighters skill doesn't stay the same their entire career. So in saying he's great cause he beat a FUTURE hall of famer is stupid because they may not have been at the most skillful point of their career or at the the point that earned them hall of fame status. Two of them he beat when they were still sort of developing so it's irrelevant
@@jonapp1199two of the three boxers were 9 time defending champion Little Red Lopez, who had already built hall of fame pedigree by the time Sal beat him, the other was Wilfredo Gomez who beat everyone at Bantamweight, whose undefeated and nearly perfect record at bantamweight was also enough to get him into the hall of fame. Azuhamah Nelson was the only whose hall of fame career would come after losing to Salvador Sanchez. Even at 13-0 against Sal showed how great he would be. So 2/3 is not bad. Many fighters today don’t see 2 well established boxers and hall of fame level careers by the time they fight them. Let alone at 23. It was sort of common but not really in the 80. Just shows that era from bantamweight to middleweight was the best ever for this weight classes.
Fighters from that era weren't getting into the hof as easily as they do now. Tim Bradley? Come on now. Btw, sanchez ko'd those future hall of famers.
What takes a career boxer to achieve in his lifetime, this man achieved it by 23!
This guy's style and ring skill were super rare
I was at his last fight against Azumah Nelson in MSG. He was dead 3 weeks later. My opinion, he was PFP the best ever. And I saw all the greats.
Amazing talent and fighter God bless his family gone way to soon 🙏
I remember I was heartbroken and in disbelief. So young. He was fun to watch!
we need more.boxers. like him. descanse en paz
If he hadn't passed away at such a young age, we wouldn't even be talking about Julio César Chávez as the greatest Mexican boxer of all time, respectfully.
Real talk 💯
Real legend
My cousin✌🏼❤️
An incredible fighter an all time great FYI he also was studying to be a doctor so he could be one when he retired
Yes, he didn't need the money because he'd started to make big dollars as a star in boxing. I suspect he just wanted to help his fellow man.
Hell ya he been getting more recognition and I love it
I am actually so glad to see someone talking about Salvador, because even though he is a legend/great, he unfortunately isn’t talked about enough.
He had it all. Chin, elusiveness , relentless offense and heart.
I’m glad my fam getting recognized… cheers hermano
Excellent boxer glad I was made aware of him. RIP
After looking a bit into him, I'm sorta convinced he may have been an inspiration for Toru Rikishi of Ashita no Joe. Both of them were young, featherweight boxers that seemed to have a promising future ahead of them. They dominated their weight class until they eventually met their end due to accidental deaths. Sanchez because of a car accident, and Rikishi because of his fight with Joe Yabuki. But it isn't just their general history, but they also have very similar faces. The sharpest resemblance being in their sharp jawline and the main differences being their hair and noses.
THANKS FOR YOUR RESPECT ❤🎉
He will be remembered 4 life,,,sometimes life is to short
Very unique style of fighting was like no other I've ever seen, an I've been around awhile.
A defensive genius but also an exciting fighter because he backed himself to trade with knockout specialists (Gomez and Lopez) and would taken them apart. Salvador Sanchez is one of the most complete 15 round fighters I've ever watched.
Only 23 is crazy, like you said he had so much ahead of him. Sad story 😢
Antes de los 24 venció a 4 miembros del salón de la fama. El boxeador con mejor cardio de la historia, jamás abrió la boca en ninguna pelea ( a 15 rounds) probablemente el boxeador más técnico de la historia.
He was an awesome fighter.
One of the most incredible boxers of all time. Probably the purest true pugilist to ever do it.
No fighter in the world not even today can compare to Salvador Sánchez the great es that ever lived God Bless him he left us early Simply the Best Ever !!!!
RIP Mr.
This is a very good presentation 👏
Great champion.
He’s your favorite fighters, favorite fighter
I’ve watched the best,until I watched Salvador Sanchez then I knew I really seen the best,we lost the best that ever stepped into the ring,RIP Salvador 👍💪👊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this. His name should be out there. ✊
Salvadore Sanchez would have been one of the greatest fighters ever, if he had lived. At the time of his death, in my opinion, he was the greatest pound for pound that existed. Salvadore Sanchez's only come around once in a lifetime. I totally respected him. What a loss.
Salvador Sanchez technica usted señor es El mejor del Mundo paz descanze RIP God bless you Sir Amen much Love respect Sir Amen
Awesome history lesson bro! Respect for that. Salvador was a beast
He trained in the mountains of Mexico
Him and Alexis Arguello would’ve been a banging fight.
Accidents took too many athletes from us. RIP 2 all of them. Others should be safe.
Love it
Great to see the young boys showing interest and knowledge about the real legends of boxing. You got a huge like bro
