The Top 20 greatest asian fighters?

[HaglerSteelChin]

I saw that Bert Sugar had in his recent list only 1 asian fighter in his top 100, Pancho Villa. I think alot of Asian fighters probably never get the respect in the west since they rarely fight overseas and stay around the pacific. In addition, many don't understand the thai, korean, japanese commentators.

Anyway here is my top 20 asian fighters with their records.

20- Soo-Hwan-Hong 41-5-4
19-Hiroshi Kobayashi 61-10-4
18-Hozumi Hasegawa 28-2
17- Koichi Wajima 31-6-1
16- Gerry Penalosa 54-7-2
15-Chris John 43-0-2
14-Masamori Tokoyama 32-3-1
13-Ben Villaflor 54-8-7
12-Koki Kameda 22-0
11-Donnie Nietes 25-1-3
10-Cerefino Garcia 102-27-12
9-Veerapol Sahaprom 66-4-2
8-Jung-Koo Chang 38-4
7- Yoko Gushiken 23-1
6-Flash Elorde 88-27-2
5-Pongsaklek Wonjongkam 74-3-1
4- Khaosai Galaxy 49-1
3-Pancho Villa 80-5-3
2-Fighting Harada 55-7
1-Manny Pacquiao 50-3-2


Honorable Mentions: Royal Kobayashi, Hwan Kil Yuh, Eliyas Pical, Yasuei Yakushiji, Guts Ishimatsu, Nonito Donaire

I appreciate your efforts and have been meaning to make a list like this.
A couple of weird things on here. Donnie Nietes, number 11?

Koki Kameda 12?

I'd put them further down, but I think you've nailed Khaosai Galaxy and the top ones well but I might have reversed the order.

Kameda is pretty high since he is still unbeaten and did beat Naito who beat Wonjongkam, Nietes only had one lost and it was via split decision and it was disputed due to hometown cooking in indonesia.
