    I marvel whenever I see films of Harada's fights...especially when it's versus Jofre.

    Harada, the tempestuous, mercurial, legendary whirlwind of the Orient. A true tsunami of natural destruction, artistic movement and calculated science.

    For my money, maybe the best jab I've ever seen.

    I agree with what he says in the article....and one thing's for sure,...there are no Fighting Haradas...in Japan, or for my money,...anywhere else. It was Harada, Jofre (their 2 bouts), Emile Griffith, Dlck Tiger, Joey Giardello, and Floyd Patterson who got me interested in the much beleagered sport of boxing. These men were to me, giants....genuine sports heroes.
