The first time I saw Salvador Sanchez I was mostly impressed by his accuracy. It was as if every shot he threw was landing. Of course, he was fighting the human punch magnet Danny Lopez but Sanchez still had a good aim. Now of course accuracy is a combination of several things. Sometimes accurate guys are the ones who don't throw much at all , whereas other fighters miss on purpose as a part of their strategy. Who are the fighters you'd describe as the most accurate punchers?
Gomez and Nelson were not human punching magnets, and Sal still lit them up. He was among the most accurate ever. In no order: Monzon Louis Napoles Spinks Hagler Duran Arguello Gomez Sanchez Chavez Floyd Watanabe Ortiz Chocolatito Marquez Lopez Canizales Duran, Monzon are the two guys from that list who were the most unorthodox, yet their accuracy was still amazing.
Robinson and Leonard were wicked accurate, especially when they were in full flow and throwing those ridiculous combos. Gerry Penalosa was a wicked sharpshooter. So was Veeraphol Sahaprom.
80s Tyson deserves mention. Of course, as the years went by, and he abandoned his skill more and more, his accuracy dropped. But he was deadly accurate from 86-89.
Zepeda is a fringe level guy, Doub. Blowing out a bum like Josue Vargas doesn't change that. Please keep your mediocre, random Mexicans out of conversations about ATGs.
An elite talent and future P4P Shakur Stevenson dissects a world class fighter = Double gives him zero credit, and says he gets hit too much. A mediocre Mexican who can BARELY get past Ivan Baranchyk stops some bum like Vargas = Doub calls him one of the most accurate fighters of all time. Lmao! Yeah. Arguello, Monzon, Napoles, Holmes.... Jose Zepeda....
