	Salvador Sanchez vs. Juan Laporte at AllExperts
		The Salvador Sanchez vs. Juan Laporte fight was a boxing encounter that took place on December 13, 1980, in El Paso, Texas, for the WBC world Featherweight title.
		Laporte was a mandatory challenger, meaning that Sanchez had to defend his WBC title against him or he could be stripped of the world championship.
		Sanchez's words to Laporte after their fight would tragically become prophetic when Sanchez was killed in a car accident on August 12 of 1982, and, on September 15, Laporte captured the vacant WBC world Featherweight title by knocking out Mario Miranda in ten rounds at the Madison Square Garden.

		LaPorte was good and had an excellent chin, pretty decent skill, but Lopez was so tough and determined, with a good punch, and excellent offensive output that was nonstop through 15 rounds.
		Laporte never fought any body that could punch like Danny, yes all the other guys you mention were better boxer then Danny, but they were not great punchers.
		Laporte was certainly an all-time great in that respect and i think was up to the task, although he would obviously have to take more punishment than Sal did.

		laporte was never floored in career, the only stoppage was to zack paddilla and the corner stopped the fight.
		Juan could punch, could box, and had a granite chin that could withstand whatever Fred would have landed on him.
		The one question mark with Juan was his questionable stamina as he loathed training, and tended to fade in some of his bouts due to poor preparation.
