Great thread Vic, lol,..it's tougher than you might think, as both had similar liabilities, like having tendencies to get clocked real bad by their challengers (the guy in my avatar did this to Shibata, you know..he's probably reading about it in that newspaper))...but based on his achievement of dethoning Vincente Saldivar, I'll say Shibata edges Wajima,..
Good post Red...my thoughts too ! For those who never watched Wajima, here are two good fights against Miguel de Oliveira.... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efZlsjmk_hA[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdFCRE-gDPg&feature=relmfu[/ame] both are fun to watch.
It was a wonderful shot but yeah, a bit bizarre indeed... [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2HeFGZWCyA[/ame]
