    :D

    :good

    Boxing has consistently been shown for free in Japan, and as a result it's built a larger fan base that's more likely to watch and attend shows. Still, PBC has done decent numbers thus far, given the fact that boxing has been treated and covered as a niche sport by mainstream sports media in North America.

    That's because you're a biased ****. :lol:

    And I can guarantee you I've watched more fights than you have. Re****. :hi:

    Broner is a 3 weight world champion, wake me up when Yamanaka does something like that.

    Broner is a very good fighter.

    Broner has the far better resume than Yamanaka. Please. :happy

    Wake me up though when Yamanaka actually beats someone elite.

    And he's already 32 compared to 25 for Broner? :lol:

    Hm let's see who has the more promising future.

    You can go weigh that yourself.

    Yes let's see indeed who has the more promising future.

    This is what Broner's future invovles:

    On the "bright futures" note...

    Honestly, before all is said and done, Yamanaka may have a case for the IBHOF.

    Yes, he is already 32 but is still close to his prime abilities (showing a few signs of slowing down, but absolutely not shot by any means, and can probably maintain his current level at minimum another 1-2 years, meaning up to half a dozen more championship fights), is currently viewed as the man in his division by acclamation, is 9-0 (7) in world title bouts, four of those victories coming over past or future world titlists (Kaikanha, Tuñacao, Rojas & Darchinyan) and even before claiming a world title has that Japanese bantamweight title defense over Ryosuke Iwasa in a FOTY contender, which has been appreciating steadily with Iwasa's continued success.

    Another few defenses against top ranked opposition, putting himself over the one dozen mark in WBC defenses in one contiguous reign that isn't lacking for quality - I'd say a very strong case will be there for the man from Konan being enshrined in Canastota.



    ...does anybody project such honors for Broner, at this point? :think


    Anybody?

    Yamanaka's only 4 defenses away from tying the Japanese world title defense record (male). The 13 defense record was set way back by Yoko Gushiken (since been beaten by female fighter Momo Koseki but even Koseki doesn't consider her achievement as much of a record as Gushiken)

    :good

    Do you think I'm off base that he could possibly get 1st ballot consideration if he keeps up his current form and extends his reign until the age of 34 or 35? :think

    Given what Gushiken and Oba went through he'll not get first ballot...heck he'll probably have to wait until 2070 or whenever it is that they change the categories again...
