Just gonna throw this out there but there are something like 4500 million people in asia and furthermore Pakistan and the Phillipines are roughly the same distance apart as the US and Africa. In short Asia is big BIG and there's an awful lotta people there with an incredible range of genetic diversity and cultural heritage.
Additionally I'd speculate that having good handspeed might be contributory to boxing success and the very reason why you heard of these two particular fighters rather than the thousands of other fighters of Asian ancestry who may not be as fast is precisely because they are exceptional individuals rather than because the uncountable hordes of Asia are all blessed with superlative quickness.
Great post.
And a fine note to close this absurd, closet bait thread on. Very well said.
