    Pacquiao and Donaire. This is just an obvious troll question because there is really only one answer and everyone knows who.

    and when it happens i will be like when they found yao ming. i'm not even philipino but just seeing donaire, pacquiao, penolosa makes me very proud of and makes me feel they don't just make philipinos proud but asians in general. i was about to say your avatar gesta but he really made a poor showing of himself in the last fight. but i'm still a fan.

    oh yeah, it's Filipino. But I reckon they: Pac, Naire, pena and viloria are good. But no unbeatable i would say overrated. I

    have yet to see a pino boxer that is like Marquez skilled and smart with power to boot, almost perfect kind of paleador.

    Masao Ohba
    Myung Woo Yuh
    Yoko Gushiken
    Veerapol Sahaprom

    all warrant mention, even if they aren't necessarily in the hunt for being GOAT of Asia.

    Maybe Penalosa jr or his bro Dave Penalosa. But he is untested! Casimero has been around the world but he is just a flyweight.

    Without a doubt Pacquiao but it depends on what you think is "asian". Wladimir was born in Kazakhstan so he's technically asian

    I define Arthur Abraham as Asian.

    The fact that the Klitschkos and GGG were born in Asia doesn't make them Asian. If you're American and born in Argentina, it doesn't make you Hispanic. Their ethnicity is Eastern European; the Klitschkos were born in Asia because of their father's military posting, and Golovkin is part of the 25% of Kazakhstan's population which is Russian in ethnicity and religion. And you might consider Armenians like Abraham and Darchinyan Asian, but since I live in one of the neighbouring countries I know that no Armenians think themselves to be Asian or Middle Eastern.

    They can deny all they want, but when their western neighboor is Turkey, their eastern neighboor is Azerbaijan and their southern neighboor is Iran, then **** their opinion, they're Asian.
