Dying at the age of 23, who would have had a greater legacy,Salvador Sanchez or Pancho Villa?
Definetly two all time greats here Jon and I did not realize that they both died at the same age. It is very difficult to say really who would have left the greater legacy. I believe that Salvador Sanchez would have been matched with the great Alexis Arguello and would have beat him in a great super fight and may not have lost another fight quite possibly. He also may have given the great Wilfredo Gomez a rematch and would have won that too and either continued on as featherweight champion or moved up a weight cl in pursuit of another title. Villa who was a relentless attacking fighter would have no doubt continued to retain his flyweight title at least a few more years himself. I doubt he would have moved up in weight cl and would have stayed flyweight champion until retiring. He already is considered an all time great p4p fighter as is Sanchez. I believe the major difference would have been the possible mega money fights that Salvador Sanchez weould have had and he would have left a little greater legacy with all due respect to the great Pancho Villa. God Bless.
