Perpetual motion is spot on! Shared The Ring 1981 Fighter of the Year honors with the greatest fighter of the 80s, Sugar Ray Leonard. Gone at 23 and already a legendary career. Great ones will come and go, but another one like Salvador Sanchez, not likely.
Salvador Sanchez was a couple of years before my time. I have always been a JCChavez fan. Once I started to watch old fights of Sanchez!!! It was clear to me he was the complete boxer! The kinda guy you hate to fight. Not only because he's tough but because of his stamina and calm demeanor from rd 1-15. I have never seen a fighter like him and I doubt we ever will. Even Ali thought Sanchez had the opportunity to be the GOAT!!! Which I believe he would've been. As a Mexican American it's tough thinking about Sanchez vs Chavez! even though that is the dream fight that never happened!!! I appreciate how you embrace the Mexican fighters and give them their respect.
This was great! I agree totally and enjoy watching his fights. Nelson had A LOT of heart in his fight with him. At one point Sanchez dropped him in a corner and it seems like as soon as Azumahs butt hit the mat, he sprung right back up like a baby deer and re-engaged with Sanchez immediately. He lost, but to me even the loser in a fight at that skill level is a winner because they give it all they've got. Sanchez is boxing poetry in motion and the way he would drag his rear leg up to get lateral and weave is amazing. Thank you for doing this. 🙏🏼🥊
I said this on another video, if you watch Sanchez he never, ever has to open his mouth to breathe, and with his absolutely stoic facial expression, and his incredible elusiveness, it must have been like fighting the wind. RIP King
Watched him fight live twice. Undercard of Lopez-Ayala when he KO’d Fel Clemente and title defense against Patrick Ford both in San Antonio. I remember the bounce, the curly hair and the cool smile. One of a kind.
Cada que veo sus videos boxeando,me pega duro la tristeza y sin mentir lloro 😭 porque supe recientemente que su muerte fue provocada por un miserable Magnate!!, que no se tocó el corazón para asesinarlo.. Salvador Sánchez es y será el mejor Boxeador y por siempre será recordado jamás olvidado.. Gracias por hablar bonit6de el..Total agradecimiento para usted.. Descanse en Paz 🙏🏻y en Gloria esté Nuestro Campeón Salvador Sánchez 🥲🕯️🥊🥊🌹🇲🇽 Saludos
Thank you so much for pointing out how great he was to youngsters who've never seen or heard of him. I remember hearing the news on the radio of his passing. I was 12 years old and completely devastated. My favourite fighter of all time. His future also included eusebio pedroza and Alexis arguello besides chavez.
As a boxing fan Sanchez is by far my favorite Mexican boxer and among my top three all-time favorites-the other two being Ali and Leonard. I was a kid when I started watching Sanchez. Without knowing the intricacies of boxing, I found him mesmerizing. Moved so beautifully and effortlessly. He always seemed to wear a smile on his face. And he always had his mouth closed-even in later rounds. He rolled with the punches so beautifully. Amazing!
Before the bell rang he always had a smile but once that bell rang, his facial expressions would turn absolutely blank. Greatest poker face I’ve ever seen.
Thanks a lot for create this video on the great late champion Salvador Sánchez. There are several precious nuggets in it. I was puzzled by the uppercut you showed(13:40), then I started test it against the orthodox & vertical uppercuts and I find it is more powerful than both of them because allows use more efficiently the chest muscles. Indeed, Salvador was a genius! BTW, this kind of uppervut is called a short punch in Okinawan shorin ryu and doubles as an upper block (age uke), it's considered a kyuko (small secret), so not much people is exposed to this technique. Please keep going coach!
Appreciate these videos fr, I’m moving fast now after a couple weeks of examining and copying his technique. The Internet is insane Imagine I become a decent boxer only from videos, appreciate you!
I'm a 40 year old man that has always been ready to defend himself with his hands. I'd never been trained to fight properly. Your videos in conjunction with my own Coach's tutelage have turned me from someone that did not know how yo deliver his natural punching power, to the one person in the gym, Noone seems in a hurry to spar. I love the 5 fearsome series. How about Sugar Ray Robinson or Marvelous Marvin Hagler? Thank you coach. Your channel has ultimately made a real difference in my skill level.
Only just discovered this clip re sanchez. Love this discussion and analysis of the great man, love the great descriptions and communication and scouse humour (fellow scouser here) ...recently ive come to feel that sanchez is a contender for PFP greatest ever...perhaps the only thing that stops us from establishing that is his terribly sad early demise which prevented a rise up the weight levels and which probably a lighter-weight great needs for that title. I will look for further vids by you, mate. Brilliant stuff.
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching and leaving your views. Just love watching his fights, and as you say what makes you take a step back is imagine what we DIDN'T see. Tar lar 👍
Beat the best Puerto Rican and best African fighters of all time. The thing about Sanchez is that he really loves the craft of the sport. He can KO his opponents he has overmatched but he really enjoys to do everything better than his opponent and fight one level up. If he has to increase his level, he increases his level. He KO'd Nelson in the last round because Nelson wouldn't accept that Sanchez was better than him and wanted to be KO'd rather than lost on points. Nelson ran that division for many years after Sanchez died. Sanchez took boxing like an artform and was still improving from fight to fight. He would have improved even more. His fight against Chavez would have happened and we would be looking back now saying that fight was the fight for the greatest Mexican fighter of all time and I believe Sanchez would prevail. Personally I think Sanchez is hands down the best fighter I have seen. He was also getting to a stage after this Nelson fight where he was carrying intimidation factor into the ring because he seemed to have more up his sleeve so you didn't quite know how good he was. He was never seen to get tired in the ring. The man was 23 years old. I think what you said at the start is the truest and saddest thing about Sanchez - The biggest tragedy in boxing history. He had so much left. He was only getting started. For many people of Mexico he is one person you cannot say anything bad about. Believe it or not you will actually risk your life if you disrespected his name in public in Mexico. RIP to the GOAT! Never forgotten!!
Thanks for the video coach! I was going to ask if we can get a follow up of this video with some drills, we can practice but you're already a step ahead. Can't wait for the next video
I knew that you would get to Salvador's amazing fitness and stamina. I may not remember every minute of every fight of his but I really don't recall him looking tired.He just kept dancing, bobbing and weaving and punching at an incredible rate. Maybe Aaron Pryor in one or two of his fights against Arguello was throwing a greater number of punches without getting tired but that seemed highly unnatural to me being that I was an athlete at the time and knew the limitations of fitness fairly well. I remember thinking Pryor must be juiced up on something and it seems that I was correct. But back to the late great Salvador Sanchez. He was by far my favourite boxer and his death devastated me. He not only was a unique boxer but he had a winning personality, seemed like a genuine nice human being, was handsome with a friendly smile. May you RIP Salvador!
Sanchez had no equal; he was one of a kind. One thing that set him apart from everyone else was his unwavering stance: he never, and I mean never, hugged an opponent when he found himself in trouble.
Great video Fran ,Sanchez and Duran are my 2 favourite fighters. .How do you think Sanchez would I.ve done against Alexis Arguello at Lightweight in 1982/3...I believe the fight was almost signed
Million dollar question. Yes, negotiations had progressed. I think Sanchez would have edged it. His implacable conditioning may have been the telling factor.
Next "5 fearsome factors" boxing videos: Gennady Golovkin, Julio Cesar Chavez, Artur Beterbiev, Vasily Lomachenko, Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto and Roy Jones Jr. 👍
Thank you very much for an interesting n informative video. If you could please give your expert opinion on the upcoming Tyson Vs Jake Paul fight, your analysis of the fighters and the prediction. Thank you in advance sir🙏❤️
Without doubt? You really think so? Did you watch technical breakdowns from RD? That guy is a disquised wizard seriously. Personally cant choose a better fighter between the 2, salvador would probably win in if he was a welterweight or higher because he was an absolutely amazing boxer ( the only thing roberto duran could struggle with at higher weights ). But he probably would have gotten knocked out at lightweight by duran because thats just prime prime duran and at that weight his power and strength are just overwhelming. But overall i cant say who is better, they would both win and lose some against each other i think
@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 hard to say. They peaked at different times and weights but I'd have loved to have seen it. I don't know it they had common apponents (maybe Comacho?) that could be compared. Like you say 50/50?
Nope. You can compete in the amateurs up until the age of 40 and some countries have excellent Masters set ups to go on further (under the care of proper boxing people).
Rjj said Sanchez is the most skilled fighter in his opinion
Perpetual motion is spot on! Shared The Ring 1981 Fighter of the Year honors with the greatest fighter of the 80s, Sugar Ray Leonard. Gone at 23 and already a legendary career. Great ones will come and go, but another one like Salvador Sanchez, not likely.
Could not agree more 👍. Thanks
My favourite fighter, amazing to watch. He trained at high altitude and outside in the Mexican hest. That's bound to have boosted his stamina.

Thanks pal, wonderful comment. Viva Mexico!!!
Salvador Sanchez is one of the all time greats and it’s a shame he’s not more known and appreciated
I’ve never seen a boxer adapt as well as he did. It’s almost like the greater you were the greater it made him
@@Rocky-fk3ol tbh I agree the better the opponent the more he upped his game and he fought even better
@@Rocky-fk3oltotally
A legend. To me,the greatest mexican fighter of all time.
10:27 "drinking tea with the Dalai Lama" caught me off guard
Very well done this man is not talked about enough awesome fighter

Thank you. Yes, Azumah proved himself over and over 👍
Yes, he's amazing.
fight with Nelson very nice

Thank you for the introduction to Sanchez!

This guy is in love witH Salvador sanchez
Thank you , I believe Sanchez speed woukdve been too much for Arguello

Would love to see one on alexis arguello, His style was simple yet brutle
He is a historian much appreciated Heathrow 2009
Great video, thank you👍😁

Thanks Johnny, always nice to get a pat on the back from across the disciplines 👊
Hello Fran can you do a video on Arturo gati.
Next "5 fearsome factors" boxing videos: Gennady Golovkin, Julio Cesar Chavez, Artur Beterbiev, Vasily Lomachenko, Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto and Roy Jones Jr. 👍
Some great suggestions, thank you 🥊
Thank you very much for an interesting n informative video.
If you could please give your expert opinion on the upcoming Tyson Vs Jake Paul fight, your analysis of the fighters and the prediction.
Thank you in advance sir🙏❤️
Will see what I can do 👍
Been with Fran Sands since 2008
Some say hes the best ever. Him vs Duran?
Him without doubts
Without doubt? You really think so? Did you watch technical breakdowns from RD? That guy is a disquised wizard seriously.
Personally cant choose a better fighter between the 2, salvador would probably win in if he was a welterweight or higher because he was an absolutely amazing boxer ( the only thing roberto duran could struggle with at higher weights ).
But he probably would have gotten knocked out at lightweight by duran because thats just prime prime duran and at that weight his power and strength are just overwhelming.
But overall i cant say who is better, they would both win and lose some against each other i think
@@wtfgebeurdmij2991 hard to say. They peaked at different times and weights but I'd have loved to have seen it. I don't know it they had common apponents (maybe Comacho?) that could be compared. Like you say 50/50?
If they were at the same weight and Duran gets him to fight inside he wins… if Duran can’t do that he loses. Simple as.
If you could please provide videos translated into Arabic
So glad you made a video about Sanchez, also love your boxing tutorials. Learned so much from someone I’ve never even met before. 👍
A positive of RUclips. Thank you 👍
Hello coach is it too late to start boxing now and compete? Btw I m in my late twenties now gonna be 30 in few years.
Nope. You can compete in the amateurs up until the age of 40 and some countries have excellent Masters set ups to go on further (under the care of proper boxing people).
Manny pac and Chavez in their prime.My dream fight.I know Marquez got em.Its different.I want to see the skills.
Sanchez would have massacre chavez.
This old man talks too much!
