    I've come to a steady place in my opinion of Galaxy, which is usually the case after I've called a fighter overrated for so long. Eventually they grow on me. Except for Terry Norris, who simply wasn't good at all.

    This is what winds me up about peoples perceptions on Khaosai. Yeah, it all looks good on paper, but delve into further and you'll see he was a 'great champion' who was never the no.1 in his division, has little in the way of greatness confirming wins, and could be hurt, and was fairly plodding. He hit very, very hard of course (because he was probably a Feather at least, and a physical beast boiled down) but it's his K.O% and masses of 'title defences' that sway even some knowledgable posters over to the dark side.

    If you want a savage beast that actually beat the best, B.K.S is the best Thai.

    Poonterat took on the best Super Fly of the time and beat him the first time IMO.

    His brother Khaokor was the much better fighter but without the great stats sheet.

    Sorry lads, been a while since the last time I guess :lol:

    See what happened when Khaosai actually faced some real competition, Thai hardman and Olympic Gold medallist Somlak Khamsing :deal He was getting battered until he pulled that dirty trick.

    Yes, again :D

    Is anyone gonna' say anything to the contrary? Good fighter but not great. Devastating puncher but little in the way of top-notch fighters decimated. Wonjongkam has a better resume than him, and that is saying something IMO.
