Yeah, Kim was supposed to be past his peak physically before he even turned pro.Stayed too long in the amatuers, and lots of brutal gym wars with Chang and Yuh had taken their toll.He could well have been at least as good as Chiquita and Carbajal had he got in the mix earlier.

Hi-Sup shin is another South Korean figher from that period that big things were expected from, but he killed a fighter and was never the same afterwards apparently.I've only viewed his later fights so i can't say for sure how good he looked prior to the death unfortunately.
