Is there ever any good Arabian/Middle Eastern/South Asian fighters?

Exactly! a "W" vs. Wilfred Benitez! Well yeah, a W against Benitez is clearly impressive. But apart from that, beating a badass WW and a pretty good CW (even though he's an awful commentator) is a pretty impressive feat in itself.

South Asian = Indian subcontinent=>Hindis, Pakis, Banglas, Lankans Amir Khan's ethnic group

Mustafa Hamsho was one of my favourite fighters in the late 80's - from Syria I believe. For the most part though, boxing wasn't that big in that region. However, if Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan are included in South Asia, then things are changing in a big way - some names have already started to make their presence felt in the last few years, & some major stars look like coming through. Alexander Alexeev & Gennady Golovkin are two to keep an eye on - both look like being something special... They are considered more as a central asian countries.

Didn't one guy fight at WW and the other at CW? Wow... that's pretty impressive. Exactly! a "W" vs. Wilfred Benitez!

i guess there's Chris John, the man who beat JMM. Many people still disregard him because he hasnt fought alot of big names, but JMM is pretty damn good if u ask me. Only problem is he doesnt fight outside of his country thus far. Chris John is NOT Arabic/Middle Eastern/South Asian! :wtf1:

Yea, Mustafa Hamsho was good. though he was hammered by Marvin Hagler, he has the scalps of both Wilfred Benitez and Bobby Csyz. Didn't one guy fight at WW and the other at CW? Wow... that's pretty impressive.

Amir Khan is a very talented fighter, only time will tell if he has what it takes to be great. he's english born and bred though?

An Arabian Middle Eastern South Asian fighter might be hard to come by.

I'm not sure, but my opinion is probably that boxing is not part of their culture, I also don't think they follow much boxing either.

Billy Dib. End of discussion.

South Asia, that would include Thailand right??

I think he said "any good fighters" and Great Tiger is a bit of a twat. Incredible footwork though.

What about Darchinyan? Is Armenian considered middle eastern?? i think armenians claim to be caucasian but the rest of the world sees them as some kind of arab mongrel.
