    There aren't many of them, but I would like to know which of them that are the best.

    I know Pacquaio is good, I know Prince Naseem and Amir Khan are good, I know Arthur Abraham (I consider Armenia Asian) is very good, etc.

    Pancho Villa was great.

    Pacho Villa is, and that's saying a lot for a guy who died young.

    Ceferino Garcia is too.

    A lot of Thai greats around, too many too mention. Boran or Fleaman can help out on this.

    Yoshio Shirai also a great japanese fighter.

    I'm blank with Korea, but they have a couple or three boxers who's great.

    Blank with Indonesia as well.

    Pancho Villa would be my #2 likely.

    Harada is up there too...

    The two best I've seen on film are Harada and Chang. Pacquiao's the most accomplished on paper. I'd rate him no lower than second everything considered.

    I don't think Shibata and Villaflor are mentioned enough.

    Shibata:
    Win over Vicente Salvidar
    Drew with Ernesto Marcel
    Beat Villaflor in the first fight (Villaflor scored a 1st round KO in their rematch)
    Defended the title against legit champions many times

    They're not the best but they deserve more mention.

    Hamed is middle eastern.

    Why are Asians always so good at fighting in movies, but they don't really win any martial arts or boxing :/ It's quite disappointing
