    Exactly the same here, Pancho Villa would push him very hard for the no.3 spot though, I have to remind myself about him sometimes.

    But in terms of ability....as I say, he's tied with a few other guys as the best fighter I've ever seen.

    Come on lads get your lists in. We'll have to do a British Forum Hardest Hitters and ATG top 10 list and put em together

    A British list would be shockingly bad.

    We've had hardly any murderous punchers.....

    Fitz (if you count him as British)
    Wilde
    Hamed
    Lennox
    Benn
    Kane
    Alexander

    Meh, too late, too stoned. Alexander was a domestic banger, but the domestic Julian Jackson, so deserves a mention despite his lack of top level sparkings.

    Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant a p4p hardest hitters list for this forum. They don't have to necessarily have to be British.

    I think Harada is slightly better on film, just seems to be more smoother and refined. However, you could make the case that Chang was more durable.

    Is their any other Asian that pushes close? I can't think of one.

    Just thinking there is a lot of Asian boxers that are great talents but don't have the resume to back it up, why is that? Is it that we dont know enough about the Orient to truly rate their whole careers?

    Patterson deserves a mention.

    Aye, Patterson, I tend to forget him :good

    Not quite sure what point you're making? I think even with the quality lower weight guys that not only stayed at home but fought their countrymen/neighbouring nations (we all know of 'em...I'm just too stoned to come up with any examples) we can seperate the wheat from the chaff.

    El Bujia will immediately back this up with a brilliant and yet startingly obvious example, to which I will probably go: :patsch:good

    I'm saying, we pretty know sod-all about the lesser Oriental lads, so we often underrate a guys resume as a whole because of it. Just an idea like.

    I'm like a Parker pen, always got a good point.

    Its just a though because Asia has a pretty big boxing culture, yet they don't have too many guys floating around the Top 50 mark.

    But back to the thread at hand.

    Tae shin KIm must be one of the hardest punching Flyweights ever IMO

    Aye, there might be some quality wins on fighters resumes that, due to lack of knowledge about the opponent we overlook. I get ya', and valid point :good
