Is Pacman the greatest Asian Champ of all time?

[THRILLAinmanila]

I'd say this for one.
IF Pac is able to hurdle JMM, MAB, and Morales
next year. , in my books he would already be THE
greatest Asian champ. But that's a BIG IF right now

get real.......i think it is far too early to make such judgements.......let him clean out the rest of the division and then we should start thinking about this.

yeah that big if, but if he can do it, he will be officially be a champion in 4 weight classes, establishing him as the greatest Asian Fighter...

Here's another one of asia's best:

Jung-Koo Chang- 38 (17KOs)-4-0

Reigned as the WBC Light Flyweight Champ from March 1983 when he TKOd Hilario Zapata, until December 1989 when he was outpointed by Humberto Gonzalez over 12 rounds. In between he had a string of 16 successful title defenses.

After his defeat to Gonzalez, Chang tried the Flyweight Division twice, but was foiled at each turn by Sot Chitalada and Muanghai Kittikasem.

Chang didn't use his passport much. He had only one fight outside his country; in Tokyo when he TKOd (8) Hidayuki Ohashi in 1988.

this Jung-Koo guy is really good he did what dodie boy should have done, i really think before if dodie boy penalosa has two good legs he can ktfo Hilario Zapata, who boxed beautifuly and run around the ring for an easy UD win against dodie boy...

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning Khaosai Galaxy...not the greatest but worth mentioning.

Asia's IBHOF

Pancho Villa- Filipino
Gabriel "Flash" Elorde- Filipino
Fighting Harada-- Japanese
Khaosai Galaxy---- Thai

Khaosai Galaxy--Known as the Thai Tyson, Galaxy dominated the junior bantamweight division from 1984 until his retirement in 1991. He defended the title 19 times (16 KO). He ended his career with a record of 50-1 (44 KO).
Together with Khaokor, they are the first pair of twins to become World Champions.

Khaosai, yes, buddy. He should certainly at least be in the mix.

Lots of great Asian fighters! It's not as if Asia has not been with its share of fistic glory. Sadly, though, not too many of Asia's great ones have been known throughout the rest of the world.
