If he could do those things, he wins, if not, Sanchez edges him.
As for other "superfights" that were bandied about but never happened, here are a few: Jack Johnson-Sam Langford II (Lil' Arthur toyed with "The Boston Tar Baby" in their one and only fight, but Sam was just 156 or 158 lbs at the time whereas Jack weighed 195 - Langford would peak as a fighter when he was 165 to 170 lbs), Jack Dempsey-Harry Greb ("The Pittsburgh Wildcat" had been calling out "The Manassa Mauler" since BEFORE he won the hvywgt title and cleaned Jack's clock in two sets of public sparring sessions when Dempsey was champ), Sugar Ray Robinson-Charley Burley (the fight was set up twice, but Robby backed out both times, demanding more money even though on both occassions he was being offered then career-high paydays - Ray's manager, George Gainsford, as much as admitted that they ducked the slippery and hard-hitting Pittsburgher), Mike Tyson-George Foreman version 2.0 (the scuttlebutt was that, despite Don King's prodding of "Iron" Mike to face Foreman becuz of the money it wd have generated, Tyson wanted nothing to do with Big George becuz the late Cus D'Amato told his young charge more than once that "no swarmer would have had a chance aginst Foreman", an opinion that Tyson, a pressure fighter, took to heart), and Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson vs any of the other top flys of the late '90s.
This one isn't a "superfight" but would have been interesting: Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali took on most of the top hvys in the 1960s, but the most notable top ten contender whom he didn't face was Eddie Machen, who wd have given "The Greatest" major problems with his speed and "slipperyness", not to mention that he had a hook that could have put Ali on Queer Street (Muhammad, as he demonstrated thruout his career, was a sucker for a left hook, and he had been hurt by fighters with less power than Machen). Clearly, this was the doing of Ali's trainer Angelo Dundee who was one of the greatest in the game at analyzing fighters and selecting those who wdn't prove too difficult for an up-and-coming charge (for ex, when Ray Leonard's trainer Mike Trainer wanted to sign his fighter to face Tommy Hearns two years before they wound up fighting, Dundee nixed the matchup becuz Leonard had yet to face a good opponent with Hearns-like height and power - Dundee found just an opponent like that in Marcos Geraldo, who was a middlewgt and afterward deemed Leonard ready for "The Hitman").
Pedroza WBA champ might have beaten the slower footed WBC champ, Lopez but the younger and faster late great Salvidore Sanchez would have cleaned Pedroza's clock. Pedroza was a very skilled fighter and feather fisted as he was, defended the Title 20 times. BUT never fought the hard punching Little Red. Who knows, maybe Danny Little Red Lopez would have KO'd Pedroza just like he did 30 times in 42 wins at featherweight. But Sanchez had it all. Speed, defence, great boxing skills in every catagory and punching power.
Another superfight that never happened was Pipino Cuevez vs Carlos Palomino. I'd pick Palomino in this one. Partly because of his decent showing against Roberto Duran in Duran's prime. Losing by decision. WBC champ Palomino lost his welterweight title in his 9th title fight by split decision to Wilfredo Benitez, while WBA champ Cuevez lost his title by KO in his 9th defence against the Motor City Cobra. An outcome that shocked the boxing comunity.
Chalk up Mayweather vs Pac Man as another fight that everyone wanted to see but never will.
