Fr I could watch Sanchez all day

[@blacklight3596]

Yup that’s bc this is a non-Mexican style Mexican fighter. You know you love that slick black style lol

[@blove9199]

This man was unparalleled.Sadly he passed early and it leaves his story to the imagination of how much more legendary he could have become.Who achieved more legend by 23?WHO? Iron Mike? Who else?Few more.But not many.

[@justme-gd4gq]

With all respect to the great Salvador, he could not pull any of those skills off against the true greatest Mexican boxer of all time Jorge Kahwagi.... ✊✊

[@signkutter9218]

Think Salvador is a better candidate for G.O.A T than many of the popular picks today

[@seetsamolapo5600]

He's equally terrific both offensively and defensively!!!

[@dexocube]

One of the greatest ever imhop. And besides his incredible skill his cardio was GOD tier. Like somebody else said in the comments, he never once opened his mouth to breathe. Ever. And his face never changed expression during a fight either. No happiness, no anger, nothing. Along with his elusiveness, it must have been like trying to fight the wind. Rest In Peace, Champ.

@dexocube that’s probably the best way I’ve heard a description of the champion 👍🇦🇺

[@lordoftheboxingring2020]

Legendary fighter because he fought legendary fighters an beat em. one thing I do respect about his fight game is that rhythmic bounce. you have to have otherworldly conditioning to do that for 15 rounds while leveling and being evasive and always being ready to defend.

[@zachripa4158]

Thank you for making a Video on Salvador Sanchez . He is not only a legend but he was a true technician. He never looked tired ever in between rounds .

[@SOLE_II_SOUL]

It’s highly noted by even greats like Roy Jones Jr. that he is P4P one of the greatest boxers of all time. To be that talented and have a prime career before your prime is crazy.

[@Ozzyozzysheesh]

Dude passed away at 23 years old…. I’m 23 rn and I’m like amazed at what he accomplished for his age

Dude was a savant. He's was like Michael Jackson smooth with his movements and had 30+ year old veteran poise.

[@brokiller2522]

He would’ve fought Arguello then eventually Sugar Ray Leonard 😮‍💨 some of the best fights that never happened

[@arod1766]

If Canelo or Trinidad would have died at 23 they would have been claimed as the best too

[@tomtermini1254]

The Greatest Fighting Machine I have ever seen!

[@marquisballard9801]

Hands down the greatest Mexican Boxer of all time and One of my all time favorite boxers 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 Fought the best of his weight class and defeated alot of Hall of Famers. Had Sanchez not died too soon by the time he reach his Prime Peak, He would be at Lightweight and be an absolute beast

[@duddyleff]

Top 5 dead or alive!! One of my all time favorites

[@phillyjoejones5161]

His head, shoulders, arms & hips are all aligned with his feet. Outstanding footwork which once again, sets up his offense & defense. Top 10 in feints.

[@juano368]

They called him “el tres pulmones” basically calling him “mr 3 lungs” or something to that extent for his legendary stamina. 15 round fighter and even in a 15 round slugfest, you’ll never catch him breathing through his mouth, or with his mouth open… the man was special indeed.

[@thediaz07]

One of the best EVER. Top 10.

[@jorgecarretero6155]

The reason for that term 3 lungs,,,If you notice fighters from Mexico city they work out from the high elevation up in the mountain the air is thin and it open up your lungs so never get tired on low levels....If you ever go to Mexico try walking around the city and you instantly get tire quick.

[@bleh3039]

He ran up the mountains for miles everyday without miss - that’s why it’s so important to train cardio

[@jaws901]

I dont know if its a surprise really, the man is built like a prayer mantis. Imagine having a cardio that sucks with that build.

[@PhilipMaldonado-kx9cb]

Sanchez was a very good,well conditioned fighter,who excelled against limited competition.A lot of fighters build there reputation off of competition they match well against.He fought one great fighter, and that fighter was a little man moving up in weight - Wilfred Gomez.I saw all his live television fights and feel he could have or possibly should have,lost two:Patrick Ford and Ruben Castillo.Castillo,I most definitely think beat him,he landed so many clean combinations! but Sanchez got the decision.You see, if he had lived,it eventually would have been revealed that he wasn't as great as people think.He would have moved up in weight eventually and an obvious match up would have been against Alexis Arguello at 130 pounds.All I can say is if Patrick Ford,who had the almost identical size and reach as Alexis,could go virtually even with Sanchez for 15 rounds,then Alexis,who was twice the fighter as Patrick Ford would have had little problem beating Sanchez.Another fighter,he almost certainly would have encountered would have been Hector Camacho at 130 pounds.This would have been a one sided disaster for Salvador for he lacked the speed and power to deal with Camacho.He was very good,but not great!

[@rustydogrustydog9191]

You know it’s an all that video when almost every guy he’s fighting in this video are today considered goats in their own right. Salvador Sanchez what a legend!

[@michaelallen8112]

Sanchez skills & creativity slips was unique most boxers slip under the punches. His slip over+ rear check hook ya too . Man well done

[@tigerscott2966]

He was always able to adapt to any opponent...

[@lukechopper3950]

I asked about salvador sanchez awhile ago on your video about the L step. love that you did a confined video of one of the best boxers to do it. really appreciate the work you put in gems.

[@BoxingGems]

🙏🏾

[@Panama_lewis]

His slips where incredible. The way he would change level, slip and, close the gap, right inside, real real close and see what’s up. either throw shots or move out, depending on what presented itself. Always trying to stay aware of his positioning and his opponents . where his shoulders were etc. He wasn’t waiting and reacting. it’s a kind of offensive defensive marriage. Naazim Richardson (RIP).

[@robertblount9985]

Very well said.

[@billystone8204]

The greatest Mexican of all time and 1 of the biggest what if’s ever in the history of boxing just imagine what he could of accomplished if he didn’t pass so soon 🥊💎💯🔥🥇👑🐐

[@ivang9875]

I read in some other video exactly what I was unable to find the feeling Sanchez gives when watching him...."It's the Ronaldinho of Boxing"....You know in soccer there are great football players, some of them you know the have a great career, some of them have accomplished amazing things....Yes, we have Chavez, and yes, football also has great history in german players......But that "magic" that seems to flow from Ronaldinho Gaúcho is just unique....That's exactly the feeling someone has when watching Sanchez, he just seems to have born to express that perfection boxing is supposed to have....When I read in that comment the "Is the Ronaldinho of Boxing" I was like ..."yeah, that was what I was looking to describe what watching salvador sanchez feels like"...pure magic...

[@Jonathan-Garcia35]

The way he blends everything together his feints setup etc, is beautiful to watch.

[@Halibut86]

The constant bob/weave is not only keeping him evasive, but also loading tremendous power into his shots

[@MrClassicmetal]

Nice one, Ryan! One of the things that stood out when I first saw footage of Sánchez was his ability to evade punches with his upper body- and head movement. And then there's also the way he did it, it looked so nonchalant.

[@BoxingGems]

🙏🏾

[@ralphenrile2793]

Amazing work on this as always BG. Perhaps work later on on Juan Manuel Marquez, Ricardo Lopez, and Gilberto Roman?😊

[@MrBeefyspicy]

Sanchez was such a beast, he used to warm up with a 10 mile run almost everyday. Great video, I would love to see some more videos of older legends.

[@Just_a_Reflection]

Thanks for this. Sal is one of my Top Five favorite fighters of all time. I wish someone would put some respect on Bazooka Gomez's name, too. He was much more than a guy who lost to Salvador Sanchez.

The kind of legs you needed to keep that pendulum step going. He was amazing physically, had amazing stamina, and punched like a mule? He was the real Mexican monster 👹

[@BarryCampbell6822]

Beautifully done, and, as always, brilliantly presented. I don't suppose there are too many old G's still around who remember how great Wilfredo Gomez was, and the way in which Salvador expertly dealt with his challenge was perfection, and a measure of how great he was, and would have become even more so, had he not been taken. His title defence against Azumah Nelson proved with hindsight to be one of the best ring performances ever. Pat Cowdell used to suffer from dreadful hand pain after almost every fight, and said that he hadn't after Sanchez as, over 15 hard rounds, he had never been able to land anywhere near solidly with either hand, and Pat was fast. Salvador was outstanding. R.I.P. ❤

[@daverosemire1317]

One of my all time favorites. You must consider the abilities of his opponents. Salvador made really A list fighters look bad. That weight class was loaded at that time. Cemented his place as an all time great in his short career.

[@Rpagsis1]

Gone way too soon...I was a kid when I watched him fight Gomez...So profound and polarizing it etched out a permanent spot in my memory from that day on..

[@harryjennings5602]

Watching the Lopez fights, I'm struck with Sanchez' defensive prowess. But watch those fights over in slow-motion and you realize just how much and how hard Lopez got hit. Massive respect for Danny Lopez to have the ability to take that much punishment, the toughness to stand in, and then the wherewithal to just shake his head walking away, knowing that he had fought a tremendous fight but Salvador Sanchez was on a totally different level.

[@xianzhang5089]

Back in the day when top fighters actually fought each other....Canelo could learn alot from Sanchez on how to be a true champion!

[@sidneyke]

Thanks for showing this! I've heard so much about Salvador Sanchez but had never seen him before. Your breakdown was my first exposure. I recall Mike Tyson saying this was one of his favorite fighters. I can see the similarity with the bob and weave head movement rising up into that vicious left hook.

[@ChiefTJBallout]

[@sebastiaosalgado1979]

The best Mexican boxer ever and the best counterpuncher in boxing

[@hazanko5875]

Sanchez seemed to dictate to the other fighter with what rhythm and timing he should punch, so that Sanchez could best evade. As all the greatest defenders and counter punchers must ultimately do, I guess. RIP, a great fighter that could have been maybe even greater.

[@MartialKombat]

We might not had even seen the best of him up till his early passing........ Ngl this film study gave me goosebumps just thinking what could have.............. RIP to the legend

[@davidmickles5012]

Ok, that kind of consistent head/body movement is not common for a few reasons... 1) Most people think boxing in terms of "punching" as opposed to a more complete "total body" art. 2) Most people can ONLY see boxing in terms of wins & KOs as a result of punches. 3) Most people have big egos and therefore emphasize "punching" over things like slipping, stepping, feinting etc. All the above is common among all levels of students and coaches of boxing. Once in a while a genius level boxer/or coach comes along and understands it. You dont have to eliminate your ego, but you must be able to control it, to discipline it. Without the humility, without the control of the ego, you will never have the self-discipline to practice and train for countless hours of head movement, body movement, specific conditioning for those, and you will instead mainly emphasize punching. Sanchez must have either had a small ego or a heart big enough to discipline and control his ego. Work that core, work it some more.

[@alfredmcglothen6050]

It sad he didn’t live long enough because he in my opinion, would’ve been a multi division champion like Manny . His skill set would’ve transferred over to lightweight, probably weighterweight , and maybe late in his career, Middleweight .

I think he could have been one of the greatest mexican boxers of all time. But i also think his career eas just to short to tell. Withoht a doubt he was talented. However, who did he best besides Wilfredo? A lot of the guys sanchez is fighting on this clip, i dont even know their names and they didnt even have a hall of fame career. I just think his life was cut far to short to say hes the greatest mexican boxer to ever do it . That is just my opinion.
