#43: Khosai galaxy #54: Wilfredo Gomez Anyone else think Galaxy is way too high on that list, particularly that he is ahead of Gomez?
In fact even worse then that #66 Tommy hearns I just cannot justify putting galaxy above either of the afforementioned personally Sage
Galaxy is horribly overrated, he was a limited brawler with immense power. He did have alot of things going for him such as an iron chin, physical strength, timing and power however his flaws make him quite beatable (especially against elite boxers with good chins). He never fought the top 115lbers of his day and his technique was often amateurish, having to rely on his power to win fights. In my view he's definately not the best 115lber ever, he would of got beaten by Watanabe/Roman/Moon and a few others.
galaxy is way too high, he may be thailand's greatest boxer but his resume is just too weak to be considered that high.. Its even worse than calzaghe's resume as a long time wbo champ
Have actually spent the last few days watching some of Galaxys fights. He certainly was no stylist but the fact remains that when he did land that left it was usually over. His opponents usually had no idea what had happened to them, I'd put his power over that of Julian Jackson or Gerald McClellan pound for pound. I think the huge gulf in strength he had over his opponents in his division certainly bumps his ranking. With lists like this one there will always be anomalies, certain boxers achieving a ranking over another that seems to have done more. I dont defend the #43 ranking but I do think he easly earns a spot on that list.
It's not a bad list, in fact it's very good, but the parts of it such as Galaxy's high ranking, 23 spots above Hearns and 11 spots above Gomez (plus a lot of other superior fighters), is nothing more than bull****. He was a good fighter, with heavy hands and effective pressure, who had a long reign at 115lbs. I think he's worthy of HOF and probably should be on the list, but no better than #90.
