    My short list in particular order:

    Carlos Zarate
    Mashiko Harada
    Khaosai Galaxy
    Flash Elorde
    Ricardo (Finito) Lopez

    IMO...all of these fighters should be on a top 20 p4p list

    Not sure if you mean my list. None of the fighters on it were born in America.

    Sure.

    I am just saying that many of the best fighters Americans don't know about, are American fighters who fell under the radar.

    Galaxy isn't even the greatest Thai. Get ****ed.

    Henry Maske - the greatest technician in the history of this or any sport.

    Gee..what an elegant argument.
    Undefeated in 20 title fights with 17 knockouts. 49-1 with 43 KO's overall.
    Yessuh...a real bum.

    get sober

    Galaxy fought mostly bums in his homeland when the division was stacked with better fighters. Good puncher but crude overall. Overrated fighter in my opinion.

    OK, now I'll admit to ignorance. I know nothing about him beyound a fight he lost to Virgil Hill, but I'll look for some vid to watch.

    :lol: There's no need to be so hostile, flea, my man! Even if you are right about Galaxy.

    Anyway, most American sports fans probably have no idea who Sam Langford is, so he's the most likely answer I'd say.

    Forgot all about him, although really I have only seen 2 or 3 of his fights, but 16 title defenses in a row is pretty impressive

    the Boston Tar Baby. That's going back a ways. There's a hell of a movie I'd love to see. That dude had a very interesting life.
