Mike McCallum.

 

Yes.

 

I suppose seeing as he fought countless domestic and even world belt holders and was hardly ever stopped...and how media unfairly described him as the worst british boxer ever.....peter buckley.

 

I tend to view Fighting Harada as one of the most underrated fighters of all time. Too often remembered purely as the man who upset Jofre.

Would have been the first man to capture the Flyweight, Bantamweight and Featherweight titles had it not been for Pep's absolutely dreadful refereeing in that first Famechon bout. After lifting the 112 lb title in 1962 he went on an outstanding run, his only defeats between then and his loss to Rose in 1968 being a pretty poor decision loss in his title rematch to Kingpetch (I thought Harada was dreadfully unlucky to lose that one) and then a stoppage out of the blue against Medel, when he walked on to a Sunday punch after dominating up until that point - a loss which he eventually revenged anyway.

Either way, he should have been the first man to complete the 'little man treble' of the 112, 118 and 126 lb crowns and his record includes wins over Kingpetch, Medel, Rudkin, Jofre x 2, Caraballo and should also have Famechon added to that as well.

I've seen the likes of Villa and Galaxy put ahead of him in the all-time stakes, but for me that's a joke. Of all Asian fighters, it's only Pacquiao who belongs above him, for me.

 

Newsboy Brown has a prety impresive list of Flyweight scalps.

Baby Arizmendi
Panama Al Brown
Chalky Wright
Frankie Genaro
Midget Wolgast
Johnny McCoy
Corporal Izzy Schwartz

He also drew against Fidel La Barba.

 

Sound post by some one who knows his subject.:good:happy

 

I have speculated that Schaff might have been champion with a bit of luck, if fate had not intervened.

 

Rocky Castellani ?
