    Actually there are a lot of titlists and contenders from Asia in boxing, pretty much all of them in the lower divisions.

    It's still not a main/big sport, speed might have something to do with size, weight, of Asians, most of them are from lower weight div.

    It may not be a "big" sport, but there are plenty of examples to choose from for your argument.

    You choose a grand total of 2 fighters.

    Same reason why black men are the fastest runners. It's all in the genes resulted from thousands of evolution.

    I not seen many other Asian fighters box, so i could not use them. Based on these two guys looks like Asians are fast, i want feed back, views what other people think and maybe give other examples.

    It's a popular sport in Japan, Thailand etc.

    Just not big in South Asia.

    You based your theory on a grand total of TWO fighters? :nut

    Koji Sato has crazy fast handspeed. His fists were so quick, the judges couldn't even tell he was throwing punches against Felix Sturm.

    Ishy, I have some questions for you.

    Why are Brooklyn fighters convicted felons? Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe both went to prison.

    Why are fighters born in Kazakhstan so tall? The Klitschkos are so tall.

    Why are boxers named "Daniel" ugly? Neither Daniel Ponce De Leon nor Daniel Zaragoza are handsome.

    Why are boxers named "Sugar Ray" woman beaters? Sugar Ray Robinson and Sugar Ray Leonard both battered their wives.

    Not only are they fast, they hit hard. You've only got to watch the Kung-Fu films to see them KO-ing all these evil mofos with a single punch delivered from a distance of 1 inch.

    One fight I wish we would have got to see is prime Jackie Chan vs. a prime Mike Tyson. Chan would win by KO for sure IMHO.
