Well, Don King was Salvador Sanchez' promoter, not Eusebio Pedroza's. Why would Pedroza lie about that? It was obvious that Sanchez wanted to fight the great Alexis Arguello for Arguello's WBC World Lightweight Crown.
Did he see that Arguello was lesser risk and higher reward of dollars? By 1982, Arguello was fading.
Pedroza in the other hand, was much more skillful and in his complete prime. He was higher risk and lesser reward of dollars.

Ok, ok, ok...are you related to Pedroza? I ask that because I can't figure out if you are taking the piss or not.

You don't have a point. For the last time none of them were unifying, the wba and wbc wouldn't do business. That's the point you should see, oh well at least you're good for an occasional laugh.

No, I am not related to him. What his statement got to do with me? That's how he saw it at the time.

Leonard vs Hearns was great business. Sanchez vs Pedroza was a matchmaker dream.

A man that made 20 title defenses cannot come up in your view no better than 25. Unless he fought pure tomato cans.
It doesn't take away from his accomplishments. Just that he isn't near the top of the all time rankings. Why does it mean so much to you anyway?
The man was an incredible and exceptional fighter. The most COMPLETE fighter that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The only reason that I don't rate him higher in the pound per pound all time greats ratings is because he didn't had a fight with the elite champions like Salvador Sanchez, Azumah Nelson, Wilfredo Gomez and Danny Lopez. Plus, after his lengthy Featherweight reign, he didn't come back nor went up to make a mark in other weight classes.

You are mostly right...Leonard and Hearns did unify in 1981 and Spinks and Qawi did in 1983...but it was rare to see unification bouts (which made the ones that were made almost larger than life events)

It was between them, by 83 sal was dead. Leonard/hearns was the biggest money fight in the sport. That tends to mend fences. Palomino/cuevas not so much.

Well King could have lied to Pedroza for any number of reasons. Who knows.
Why might Pedroza lie? Well it makes him look better of the other guy didn't want to fight him.

Pedroza wasn't that kind of individual. Saying those things doesn't exactly makes him look good. That's his version and people should respect that. See the point?
