    Harada is a shoe-in for top 25 P4P all-time.



    LOL, what!?!?
    Harada is a very strong candidate for #1 though I give a slight edge to Pacquaio. I personally think I’d have Harada between 40-50 all-time pound for pound.

    He recently did his “Best I faced” for The Ring. I posted it somewhere else. I’ll post it in here what I get a chance. He had a lot of great things to say about Jofre.

        If Amir Khan counts as Asian, then Amir Khan.

        Never really been a massive Manny Pacquaio supporter.

          1) pac doesn't have the achievements.
          2) PAC struggled w/ lesser competition.
          3) so much of pacquiao's talent was owed to a needle in the ass.
          4) Harada looks better on film.

                then you agree that Marcel Cerdan is the greatest African fighter ever? And Lennox Lewis the greatest English fighter?

                You see how bizarre you look?

                  cerdan was from a french colony ie. part of france. lewis is from england. i don't see the problem. it's like saying martina navratilova is from america when you know she is czechoslovakian.

                    Yes, she is ethnically Czech. Pretty simple. No one would call her "Asian" if she had been born in Kyrgyzstan.

                    Algeria wasn't a colony. It was a part of metropolitan France. Like hawaii is apart of the United States. But the point is, it is on the African continent, so Cerdan is more African than Klitchko is Asian. But no one would look at them and consider them anything other than White.

                    Lennox Lewis is clearly of West African descent and grew up in Canada. he trained in Detroit at Kronk Gym. There's no confusing him w/ Henry Cooper.

                    Calling Vitali Asian is ridiculous any way you cut it. But I can see why people would wanna Co-op that Ukrainian swag. It might be the best genetics for Boxing.

                      I am 6' 9". Pipsqueaks do not interest me much. People always think I am 6' 10".

                      I like pipsqueak women, though.
