I pick Sanchez in this fight against the best fighter, pound per pound, of today's time

Sanchez shone when against a pressing aggressive fighter because he was one of the great counter-punchers of all time. It was the Castillo's, the Ford's, the Cowdell's he had problems with, not the Gomez's and the Lopez's. If anything Gomez and Lopez were far more refined than Manny. Manny is all out aggression and to hell with defense. Pure suicide against a counter-puncher with a great jaw.

Actually, I think Sanchez would stop Pacqiao. Pacqiao's style was made for someone like Sanchez, I think Sanchez would outclass Pacqiao ultimately stopping him (similar to the Lopez fight). If anything, I think the fight would play out more like Marquez vs Pacqiao after the first round. Except maybe a bit more exciting.Taylor wrote:Does anyone think it'll be like the first Pacquiao/Morales fight? 8)
When I mentioned Sanchez outclassing Pacqiao, I meant no disrespect to Pacqiao.. Sanchez was just that good. He completely outclassed a couple fighters easily considered world class.walshb wrote:Salvador wins no matter what style Pac employs. Just simply a cut above. No disrespect to Pac, he's a great fighter, but Sanchez was amazing...
