[@KhattaRapidus]

I looked up his hometown. I was right about champion boxers. They tend to come from either cooler places or mountains, elevation. Exception is usually big body people and who get alpha status. Nobody harassed tall/big as if they are smaller people and who get mistreated for being small. Much easier for taller people to do the same job at higher walk speed, easier them get girls, and easier them get leadership roles.

[@noneyabusinesshomie]

​@@KhattaRapidus I don't think Inoue or chocolatito or Nonito Donaire or Wilfredo Gomez or Wilfred Benitez ever came from mountainous or cold areas, unless I'm mistaken which ill honestly accept if i am. Also none of them are very tall, so really it sounds like everything you said was false.

[@KhattaRapidus]

@@noneyabusinesshomie Well Japan isn't really as dangerous or American as the USA. Japan the fighters are a little more tame and the indoors training, outdoors mindfulness, and LAW abiding citizen with extreme professionalism culture. I mean I get it but I said There's always some catch like resources or being able to go indoors, or getting up early in the morning. Heat is dangerous. Champions are built off the same laws of physics everybody abides bye, and they don't change the laws of physics simply by being genetically different either. Laws of physics are what determine somebody genetically different and if life arisen in the first place. Some, Mexicans goes out at night and not during the heat. I only seen in my neighborhood and dumb people doing fitness during the strength heat of the day. Region or this region, it's about the cold and not just elevation. I mean it's about money and self preservation, not overdoing it. Where Americans here in Texas I seen a couple with organ failure and they both in their 20s/30s had full head of grey hair, very scary. I never heard from them again and after some point, maybe they died.

[@KhattaRapidus]

@@noneyabusinesshomie Women, unless hitched already or desperate, and don't like men who are unhealthy. Women are protected sex ever and even when unhealthy still breed. There is a difference between how some men turn out and others don't. Usually, champions are born off of young training, somehow taken care of for health, and resources to do the sport frequently. Regardless how you are labelling those things, they don't change.

Tiempo después se enteró de su accidente en la carretera 57 Querétaro-San Luis Potosí que justamente pasa por San José Iturbide manejando un Porsche a gran velocidad.

Sanchez was the best Mexican fighter I ever saw. He had elite boxing skill, punching power, speed, and solid defense. If he hasn’t died so young, he would have been fighter of the decade for the 80s!

[@frankborja25]

I saw Sanchez fight a few times. He was definitely special. Speed, power, accuracy and a very hard head. Able to take a shot and then hit back even harder. Many great Mexican fighters, he gets my vote.

[@matthewnoelfernandez]

That genuine reaction from Tyson, a student of the game, the minute he heard his name is enough of a validation 🙏🏽💯

[@ErikTinocosr]

you get them chills when you hear the name Salvador Sanchez

[@nuevillanueva803]

Sánchez was like a Saiyan. Got stronger the more he fought.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes indeed. Well above and when you put a guy like Salvador in with the best of his era.... Midget rivalries like pep &sadderl er. Graziano and that guy Tony zale

[@michaelarnold759]

He was my man! The 70's was his Era of domination! Tyson was right. He seemed to fight right above everybody they put in front of him. He was the ultimate technician.

[@Ozzy4747]

Leaving a legacy worthy of hall of fame at 23 years old is just unheard of. These Mexicans start a pro boxing so young, it’s actually insane that he fought the top names in his era and beat every one he fought. At only 23 years old, jheez

[@HIERONYMAS]

Best fighter I ever saw Roy Jones Jr. He was like a different species…

[@liberatedentrepreneur149]

Yeah.. he was special. Loved watching his unorthodox style.

[@germanarellano5119]

When Tyson said "this makes him special, he is above everyone else a monster". For him to say that, it definitely makes him a legend.

What your opinion now

[@zombiesRUseless6880]

Watch Sanchez VS Neslon!

[@KandelaGC]

So what happened?

[@themoe.1]

Salvador Sánchez was a monster. I remember him vs the then rising star, the great Ghanaian Azumah Nelson, one of Africa’s best ever. In a true epic duel, Azumah Nelson fought like a lion until the 15th and final round, when Sánchez stopped him. Thanks Roy Jones and Mike for reminding everyone about the boxing immortal Salvador Sánchez (RIP).

[@jorgepuga8104]

Azuma Nelson never get over it about his lost fight against Salvador Sanchez. He said he was not well prepared for that fight. 🙄 He lost that's it.

[@triggatyke]

​@@jorgepuga8104Azumah Nelson took that fight on short notice, he gave Sanchez his toughest fight. That was Sanchez's last fight and Azumah Nelson wanted a rematch but Sanchez died in a car crash a few weeks after their fight and Azumah never got his rematch so it's understandable why he didn't get over that loss.

[@C23065]

SALVADOR SÁNCHEZ THE MEXICAN BOXER BEST AT ALL TIMES !!!!! Just watch his fights, never was afraid of fighting the best and everywhere, no media , no to much publicity!!!!!! The greatest!!!!

Meh, all he did at just 23 yrs old is beat like 3 future Hall of Famers. LITTLE red Lopez (one of my favorites), Wilfred Bazooka Gomez and Azumah, the Professor Nelson. Also beat a very good boxer, Ruben Castillo....etc... puro Sal Sanchez🥊

He was very methodical in breakin down his opponents. He figured out their weaknesses then he would destroy them.

The best part is that he'll still utilize that Mexican style; go forward, hit hard and don't stop until they drop.
