    I give you mad respect for listing him, especially from a non-American.

    Roy Jones Junior has stated in the past that he admires Salvador Sanchez' boxing skills the most.

    Massive props, Sanchez was beautiful to watch.

    only seen his fight with Azumah Nelson (his last fight I think), that was a great fight, but probably not his best performance. Hard to believe he was only 23 when he died. :eeeek:

    Sanchez's best performance was the Gomez fight. He looked terrific against Lopez as well.

    Bert Cooper ran hot and cold. Some of his fights, like the ones with Moorer, Holyfield and Mercer were classic, but then you had nights like the Bowe demolition or the Foreman quitting.

    But given the right opponent and mind-frame, yeah he belongs on the list.

    nah....true technicians are endlessly watchable like films by a virtuouso director, baby. Every frame is there for a reason. Watching Duran-Cuevas or Locche-Cervantes NEVER gets old to me.:clap:

    De la Hoya. He's a guy I've always hated but he's had a lot of entertaining fights.

    Vargas. I haven't seen him listed.

    Mosley. I'm surprised that only one person has mentioned him.

    Young Tyson. Only two people listed him. He's the reason I got interested in boxing. :dunno:

    Oh my God, Gatti...you owe it to yourself to get more Sanchez fights.

    I listed him as well...one of my absolute faves, great technician and counterpuncher who also liked to mix it up and did when he had to.

    Peace.
