Who is the GREATEST ASIAN BOXER?

[mickey malone]

Damn right about that cobber! Those bloody frogs.

Still, that's cool. Yeah, his fighting was very precise. Amazing defense. He had that shoulder roll down pat, and was impossible to catch in the corner. He had some of the slipperiest ducking, spinning etc. I've seen by any fighter. A real underrated defensive specialist.

Haha, Fair Dinkum mate! Probably where Toney got it from...

What is the criteria of being the best?
Is fame one of them?

Pacquiao is Famous, has won a lot of championship belts, he is the Pound for pound king today. No doubt it was Pacquiao!

Its not even up for a debate. Pacquiao has beaten not the best of his division but fighters that are recognized as the sports very best.

1. Barrera I
2. Morales II
3. Hatton
4. Marquez II
5. Dela Hoya

See their comments? It has to be a Japanese.
Filipino the best Asian boxer ??? Naaah

Filipinos are not even allowed to win in the Olympics that's why they cheated and Onyok Velasco just got a Silver.

So has Harada. He was the only fighter to beat a recognised guy that is much higher than each and every one of those fighters on the P4P list.

Pac fought in much more divisions (although not necessarily beating any fighters that were genuinely bigger) and has more titles, but I don't actually think he fought anyone that was better than the guys Harada fought.

Still, with more titles etc etc, comes greater things so it's hard to say anyone but Pac is now the best.

Honestly i thought Barrera 1 was the ULTIMATE for Pacquiao. What he did from that point elimates any thought that Harada accomplished more than him in the ring.

He could have stayed at 126 forever and beat the toughest fighter there but is that the more chalenging route to greatness?

in response to the bolded
Are you saying that the 2003 version of Marco Antonio Barrera is not better than the Fighters in HArada's resume?

I don't think anybody on Pacs resume is better than Jofre, but I agree he has surpassed Harada in Legacy and overall accomplishments.
