Salvador Sanchez 🥊 Boxing Masterclass vs Danny Lopez

Born in Santiago Tianguistenco, State of Mexico, Sanchez was a Mexican professional boxer. Sánchez was the WBC and The Ring Featherweight champion from 1980 to 1982. Many of his contemporaries as well as boxing writers believe that had it not been for his premature death, Sánchez could have gone on to become the greatest Featherweight boxer of all time. He defeated Danny Lopez by stopping him in 13 rounds in Phoenix, Arizona, United States on February 2, 1980. Thinking it was just a case of 'beginner's luck' (as it was Sánchez's first world title fight ever), Lopez looked for a rematch and this he got, in Las Vegas. This time Sánchez defeated Lopez by 14th-round TKO. He would go on to become one of the greatest Mexican champions of all time and defended his title successfully 9 times. In 1991, Sánchez was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The Ring magazine named both him, and Sugar Ray Leonard, as Fighter of the Year in 1981. In 2002, he was named the 24th greatest fighter of the past 80 years by The Ring magazine. In 2003, The Ring rated Sánchez number 88 on the list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. Sánchez was voted as the #3 Featherweight of the 20th century by the Associated Press. In 2026, the WBC named him their greatest featherweight champion of all time.
