Sanchez vs Rosario?

Post by Rocky Balboa »

Had Salvador not passed away, it's likely he would have moved up to LW, where Rosario was campaigning. 15 rounds for the WBC LW title!

I feel this fight would have been a classic & memorable bout.

Who would get your vote & for what reasons?

On its face, it looks like a possible Sanchez-Gomez all over again, but Rosario was an amazing one-punch fighter. Some of it depends on how much, or little, power Sanchez would bring as he moved up. It also would depend on what kind of Rosario showed up. It could have been like the second Rosario-Nazario fight, where Nazario just boxed the pants off a sluggish Rosario, or like the Rosario-Camacho, which was very close and could have gone either way. Rosario had the power to knocked out anyone, but I suspect Sanchez would have been able to outbox him for a UD

Two of may favorite fighter of all time. Rosario carried devastating power and had some of the best combo's at 135lb. Sanchez was a master boxer with a helluva chin.

I see Sanchez boxing his way to a UD.

Sanchez was just so good at working oppo0nents out, adjusting and coming on stronger. After a few rounds it wopuldn't be that competitive and that's no slight on Rosario who was a fine fighter. He just simply could not win this one.

With pain in my heart I just don't see Rosario winning this fight at all. His power will be useless against a skillful fighter like Sanchez. And I think Sanchez had more technical skills than Chavez and we all know what happen to Rosario vs Chavez. This is coming from a huge Rosario fan, he was one of my favorites growing up.

Sanchez was one of my favourite fighters,i think 6 people who he beat went on to win world titles,i dont think McGuigan would have become world champion if Sanchez was'nt killed,he beats Rosario in my opinion,and then McGuigan,Chavez and the rest of them.
