Let's run it back and have another look at Phongskorn "Pongsaklek Sitkanongsak" Wonjongkam

I still can't believe Ernesto Marcel isn't in the HOF either.

 

Don't understand how anyone can wright him off he beat Choco twice Estrada Cuevas hes legit

 

You're conflating at least three different people, mate.

Wisaksil "Srisaket Sor Rungvisai" Wangek is the guy that beat Chocolatito x2 and Estrada... but he never beat a fighter named Cuevas (nor did Pong...and I'm failing to come up with a Thai fighter that did off the cuff)

 

My bad I am mixing **** up

 

Eh, no big deal, he only fought prime Durán, Argüello, Gómez x2, and Shibata - coming through with a 3-1-1 record against them.

(if my tone wasn't clear, yes, Nato should absolutely be in, clear ATG featherweight..)

 

Koki Kameda!

 

His list of victims is simply insane; it's a "who's who." One of the best P4P boxers of his era. One of the best Flyweights ever... He is so understated.

 

For example, he is infinitely more worthy of HOF recognition than guys like Tim Bradley, Sergio Martinez, Carl Froch, Jorge Arce, etc. Truly. Head and shoulders, in my view. Call me a fanboy, sure. I don't know how everyone isn't!

 

Worth noting that in 1995 Jerry Pahayahay actually became a world title challenger, and has a bunch of interesting results, aside from the Wonjongkam bouts.
He beat the likes of Bert Batawang, Noel Tunacao (Malcolm's brother), Joma Gamboa (no relation to Yuriorkis but a future WBA world champion), a draw with Chana Porpaoin (as this was still prime Chana)

Certainly not the bum his record suggests

 

I happen to be friends on Facebook with Tuñacao, so I shot him a message asking his opinion re: Pong getting in..

Malcolm was at the recent Beppu Vs Yada fight, be worth asking him what he thought of it. Saw he live streamed Simsri Vs Bacolod from the same show....
