On this episode of The Fistorical Perspective, we're talking about two of the featherweight division's greatest champions, both of whom left the sport at the peak of their powers. 

We compare Salvador Sanchez, who tragically died just over 33 years ago at the age of 23, to Ernesto Marcel, who retired on the heels of a great win over Alexis Arguello. Who was better, and why? We compare the competition these two men faced, and ask whether we can truly stack them up against other great featherweights who, for whatever reason, managed to compete after their primes had passed and still put on great performances.
