In-Ji Chi's last bout was in 2006 and before him you had In-Joo Cho who had a pretty decent career if I remember right, not really that long ago.
Ji-Hoon Kim is pretty decent.
They've never been 'that' much of a force barring Moon, Yuh and Chang, there's been the odd contender that will come and perhaps get a title but nothing serious, they wasn't much of a force pre 80s either, same again they have the odd really skilled boxer appear(Chan-Hee Park, Ki-Soo Kim, Dong-Kyun Yum) but not much after a few names.
They just happened too have 3 incredible boxers appear at the same time. -
Myung-Woo Yuh
I loved this dude. Just recently watched a bunch of his fights on YouTube.....what a fighting machine he was.Comment

there is this social stigma about boxing being for poor people in Korea, as the economy is growing more and more, ppl dont wanna be associated with this lower class dangerous sport
fighters are still good there's just not enough of themComment

MMA is rising in popularity at an alarming rate. Korea has guys like Chan Sung Jun, Won-Sik Park, Doni-Yang, Dong Hyun Kim, Doo Hoo Choi and others to look up to. Apparently (I don't know if it's true) since Benson Henderson (1/2 Korean) won the title it was pretty big news as well.
One guy I was excited for was Seung Hwan Bang. That dude was awesome to watch. He arguably beat Jorge Masvidal and he had awful management for his boxing. He's a solid boxer, but his style is better suited for MMA. His Army duty should be up soon.

I remember reading something similar from him not too long ago.Originally posted by elgranluchadore View Post
He did say that boxing is still popular as a means of working out and staying in shape. But the mindset of a professional fighter and someone just looking to workout are obviously completely different.Comment
