		Saddler was the better fighter (in possession of a broader resume) but on that alone I can't give him the thumbs up.
		Saddler would be taken out of his game in this one in that Arguello would be a bit bigger, negating a typical Saddler advantage.

	ESPN.com: BOXING - Max: Saddler right there with the greats
		An intelligent argument can be made that Sandy Saddler was both the greatest featherweight and the greatest junior lightweight in the history of boxing.
		Saddler was 8-1 with 6 stoppages in title fights, and his title fight record would have likely been considerably better had it not been for an auto accident that essentially retired him at the age of 30.
		In comparing the two, it must be stated that although only 26 years old the first time he met Saddler in the ring, Pep had suffered injuries in a plane crash, and was no longer the fighter he had been in his real fighting prime.

		Saddler for what its worth was a murderous puncher but had no where near the skills of pep, he was however peps nemisis to an extent.
		The other reason that Saddler often is overlooked is that he had half the fights Pep did, still a mightily impressive 145-16-2 (103 kos!!!!) vs peps record of 230-11-1 (63 by ko).
		Saddler was a bit of a dirty fighter aswell, they both were, them guys were in wars.

		Saddler, of whom George Forman once said: “I had him in my camp because he was one of the most cold-blooded fighters ever,” reminisced: “Willie Pep and I went a long ways back before we ever got to make so much money together.
		Saddler’s case was: “When I got on top of Pep and started to punch he would grab my long arm and I would bang him with the other while I was trying to pull away.
		Saddler was dropped in the first round, was cut severely over his right eye and bled profusely from nose and mouth but came on like the proverbial champion to floor his plucky adversary in the fifth round and force the ref to stop the fight.”

		Larry hurt Saddler in the first and third rounds; he drove some stinging left hooks to Sandy’s head that had Saddler clinching at the end.
		Saddler was able to land only one effective blow – a left uppercut to the body – in the hectic three minutes he spent trying to preserve his record of not having been stopped since his second pro start in 1944.

		The style of Sandy Saddler, now of blessed memory, was as far off from the Pep school of 'fancy dan' boxing as chalk is different from cheese.
		So far as Robinson and Basilio are concerned, I have no reason to break ranks with the notion that as a fighter, he was Basilio's superior, as indeed I have few grounds to deviate from popular estimates that he is the greatest fighter of all time.

		Given that, I think Saddler would have been frustrated by the great Salvador Sanchez not so much for his combination of power and speed (which was abundant).
		But Saddler's achilles heel was that he would have been flat-footed at intervals against a constantly-shifting and forward-moving Sanchez, who would have thrown bombs at the slower-moving Saddler.
		Sandy Saddler is in a handful of the best pound-for-pound punchers,ever.Salvador Sanchez,who died tragically in a car accident,outboxed and stopped Danny Lopez-maybe the best featherweight one punch kayo threat aside from Saddler twice-once for the title(Maybe,fights had taken their toll on Lopez at this point).

		Saddler is probably the harder hitter and Manny's defense isn't the greatest.
		Saddler has more reach and is a very rough fighter inside.

		Pep lost three of his four fights with Saddler - the rangy Bostonian just seemed to have a style that was all wrong.
		Saddler, though, made Pep do some things he really didn't want to do, style-wise; indeed, the fourth fight was one of the dirtiest of the time.
