    Lewis and Trinidad over De La Hoya?

    Again Foreman and Dempsey are way to high.

    HOF JOe Koizoumi already said it. Even if he's a Japanese he still rate Pac as the Greatest Asian fighter ever. Did Harada ever been named P4P #1 during his time???

    I have some questions for you, and if you don't want to answer them, your not up to the task of debating Pac and Harada:

    1. What about Harada's legacy does not impress you?
    2. Which wins on his resume do you find significant, or overated?
    3. What weaknesses do you find in his style?

    Keep it simple. Pac became the #1 P4P, the best of the bunch in the Greatest Featherweight era. Harada's not even close. I'll take HOF Koizumi's words than an ESB wanna be expert's words.

    This isn't acceptable and is a poor effort on your part.

    You can't anwer questions about Harada by telling me about Pac. That suggests that you know nothing about the man, and so have no right really doing any rankings of any kind.

    PacD if you want to be a Pac fan, or a charachter here on ESB, I support you being here and in fact have even defended you before. But when you show up in threads ranking boxers that you don't have the knowledge base to rank, thats where I personally can't justify you being here.

    Np Calzaghe? No Hatton? This list has obviously been compliled with an anti-British agenda. No Harrison eiter, a complete joke.

    Just for the sake of having fun, who has the greater win between the two?
