Salvador Sanchez beating three HOF’ers in Wilfredo Gomez, Azuma Nelson and Danny Lopez plus the like of Laporte by the age of 23 is another.
Great choice.

What a fighter!

Nobody mentioned Archie Moore's 186 wins with 132 KOs?
I thought that Archie had 141 knockout wins

That is a number that seems different wherever you look. Have seen anywhere between 129-148.
