    Dya remember when you claimed that Arce came back from behind to knock Carbajal out? Proving you had never seen the fight as it was the other way round.

    I'm going to give you another chance. How did Khaokor get 'destroyed'? Go on, it's not hard, the fights on youtube if you wann see first hand what a complete spastic you are.
    a
    actually, d'ya know what, I'll do it for you.

    I would say there have been no more than 50 all time greats.

    So that suggests one comes around every six years or so, so if there were a Hall of Greatness IMO, there would only be a maximum of two inductees a decade.

    There have been a lot of complaints about how low the bar is set for the Haal of Fame, but is there anybody currently in it who you could theoreticaly question to have been world class at their peak?

    If the answer as I believe is no, then inducting Cooper would mean draging it a bit lower.

    Asero, respond in detail about how Khaokor gets 'schooled' and 'destroyed' in the above fight. Not difficult buddy, I've posted it up for you, although I didn't need to, because you've already seen it, right?

    I mean, you wouldn't have just gone on Boxrec and took a wild stab in the dark at what took place in that round....would you?

    Surely not, you're a reputable poster :good

    Yeh Espinosa exposed Khaoker with his Charley Burley esque feinting. :lol::lol:

    Seriously though, Khaoker was a qulaity operater, much more fluid than his brother and the better stylist but lacked the punch. His movement in the second Moon fight is simply superb as he completly confuses Moon and in the last round Galaxy is like a tiny Muhammed Ali!

    Only thing is Khaoker's career is woefully short and his resume is lacking despite good wins in Moon and Vasquez but except from that it is fairly lacking to be considered an ATG. However H2H at Bantam he does match up fairly well, but it is an enormously talent-laden division so even his H2H ranking isnt that high. All though he is great to watch and I am a fan of his courtesdy of Fleaman.

    Yeah, I know, but do they really need his consent to induct him? They've done this with others posthumously, and several who had no connection to his company. The R & R HOF inducted the Sex Pistols, whose surviving members refused to attend, correctly calling it, "a **** stain." (It still blows my mind that Bret Hart finally went along with his induction where Bruno hasn't. So far as I know, Vince hasn't killed any of Sammartino's family.) Pedro Morales did not attend his induction either, due to "scheduling conflicts." (What that was about?) Regardless, if the WWE HOF outlives Sammartino, they'll inevitably add him to their roster at the earliest posthumous opportunity. (I think Bruno's parents lived well into their 90s, so this could take a while.)

    His resume isn't dep by any stretch of the imagination, but there is more quality on there than Khaosai IMO. Even so, his output in those fights (well, bar the 1st Moon fight which is a letdown) is phenomenal, and proof of why I like the guy so much.

    Mind you, I'd stick up for anyone if someone made as stupid a comment as Asero has.

    SO WHERE THE **** ARE YOU ASERO!??!?!?!

    There is abit more quality on it than Khaosai but if you take into account Khaosai's dominance and longevity (compared to his brother) you could make a case for Khaosai, not that I would.

    :lol: Fair enough if you're busy but it seems to me you have no answer. It ain't hard, watch the fight (for the first time I assume) and tell me how any schooling' is going on?

    Or just admit you were wrong. You hadn't seen the fight and you were talking ****. It's not like you've got any credibility to attain is it?
