    He has this one problem, Shortly after winning the title, he died. About 24. or so. Yeah he fought Jimmy McLarin(A relly great fighter) but after that, He pass on by Ludwig's angina,

    But in his short run, He did beat Wilde, who was the top pound for pound fighter of his era.

    Than the lost to McLarin, but Villa was all ready infected with the virus by than, so that effect his showing there.
    Than he beat the great Abe Goldstine and the great Bud Taylor.
    But it was his win over Wilde that he is most rember for.

    At 24, he still had a lot to go on. But regardless he is a legend.

    Yeah, and you require them to be seen in TV in the 60's to be considered great, smartass! This is history, man, and TV coverage was not as extensive and modern like what we have now. Fights of Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Armstrong, Joe, Louis, Willie Pep, Jack Dempsey, etc. were not shown on TV but they're considered top 50 ATGs.

    GTFOH and learn boxing more.

    Thats the story, it spread in his mouth, lost a few teeth and died. We can still find out what killed him, just get a shovel.

    dont make an idiot out of your self. its very clear that your knowledge about asian fighters is close to none, if not for pacs existence. Asian boxers are usually in the lower weight class which doesnt get that much attention in american television.

    died from a very bad infection. likely it spread from a bad tooth infection inside to the deep tissue space of the neck which could easily spread further down to your chest-lungs/heart or up to your brain. Thats how bad the infection is. That type of infection still happen this days although less often.

    Harada is special but I think pacs achievement is already better

    This settles it. So, how can you say there are no great Asian fighters before Pacquiao when you have no knowledge about this great Asian fighter. You can't see these fighters being talked in contemporary forums but you can find them in classic forums like we have here in ESB. They're not part of history. HBO, ESPN, and other websites most often than not discuss about contemporary fighters.
