    wow, what a liver punch..

    lindol espinosa's quick hands. 3 punches in 3:07 mark

    galaxy wasn't even able to land a decent punch. Khakor was one of the more accurate punchers in the game but look at how espinosa keep distance to protect himself and at the same time keep himself in position to score the KO.

    luisito is a KO artist everytime he fights in his opponents backyard.

    i tell you hamed shy away from the WBC contention in his prime and went after the title when luisito espinosa is done. Luisito keeps on challenging hamed

    Asero, you're an idiot.

    Khaokor faints. You should log out and kill yourself.

    fleaman i think the espinosa fight was galaxy's last fight so weight drained definately but perhaps he had bigger problems

    Exactly.

    Anarci: I don't think he will be HOF either.

    It's debtable.

    Khaosai; many defences against middling opposition (usually) destructive puncher (level of opposition?)

    Khaokor: Fought Moon (x2) and Vasquez, put on clinics in two of those fights. Sturdier IMO too.

    I say Khaokor. Quality rather than quantity:good

    that sums it up very well i favour khaosai but that is because i like the way he just walks down his opponents down with a michael myers i will get you in the end attitude but khaokor was a more rounded boxer skill wise

    yeah, Khaokor more varied. Although not as big a hitter, much more punch variety. His movement was sublime at times too.

    Put it this way, Espinosa did not stop him :lol:

    It's historic influence aswell though. McGuigan united Ireland when he fought, I think he deserves credit for that given the time period of which he was fighting in and the state of Ireland during that time.
