you couldnt figure out if Argentina was in Asia or not??? :nut you couldnt figure out if Argentina was in Asia but you did figure out that England was!!! :nut why 'especially in America' - why would a victory in the US be worth more than one anywhere else. Now when you add these factors into your shiite choice then I think its best you dont post here anymore.
You forgot Hozumi Hasegawa, who's #10 on my P4P list, let alone one for Asians. But more importantly, you forgot Koki Kameda.
Not sure if Pac is considered asian, filipinos are a mix of Hispanic+Asian. Khan doesn't look the least bit Asian to me, and I thought he was English?
We are asian, trust me. Asians with some spanish heritage. Funny, but we cant speak spanish anymore. Although about 30% (probably more) of the Tagalog language still uses "Filipinized" spanish words up to now. Words like Bintana - Window Kubyertos -utensils Sibuyas -Onions Kabayo -Horse Bapor -Ship Sabon -Soap etc, etc.
atsch Filipinos are Asians. The Philippines was colonized by the Spaniards. They stayed there for 333 years. Fact: There is very little number Filipinos have Spanish blood in them. During that Spanish regime in the Philippines, Filipinos are very very proud of their blood line, hence they don't easily marry other people from other races. The Filipinos only inherited the Spaniards culture. Such as some language of the Spanish language, food... etc.
No mention of Hasegawa, but mention of Khan and Abraham? Way off. Not only are Japanese fighters completely overlooked on this forum, but they aren't even mentioned when narrowing the subject down to Asians. Terrible. On the flip side of that, Koki Kameda just lost last night. I'm not sure if people are realizing this, as that's not going to help much in any top ten, though he too is still one of the top ten Asian fighters in the world.
1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Chris John 3. Hozumi Hasegawa 4. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam 5. Nonito Donaire 6. Toshiaki Nishioka 7. Takashi Uchiyama 8. Koki Kameda 9. Daiki Kameda 10. Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym
Isn't calling Amir Khan "Asian" a bit of a stretch? Why not just group him with middle eastern fighters? Who calls a middle eastern person "Asian", even though that area is part of Asia? It's like calling Mexicans and Canadians "Americans" just because those countries are part of "North America."
Amir Khan is Pakistani, which is in south Asia. So technically, he is Asian. At least, all the English people say so.
The British actually calls Pakistanis, Indians, Sri Lankans as "asians". They call Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, etc as "orientals".
terrible list. abraham is not fooking asian, and he is better than amir khan u fool. wheres kameda and hasegawa what is tua sat on them or something!!!!
Hasegawa has only a 28W-2L record (30 fights total), and his best wins were over a 37 or 38 year old Veeraphol Sahaprom. All his fights are in his native country of Japan. We don't know how he would perform in neutral or hostile territory, and we don't know how his opponents would perform in neutral and home court territory. Hasegawa is listed too high on many "lists" in my opinion. Also, be advised that I chose the boxers based on their overall career resume, recent performances, and other criterias as mentioned on my opening post. Hasegawa falls short in all those things. Koki Kameda has only 23 fights under his belt with a record of 22W-1L. His best win is arguably over Daisuke Naito. If a boxer is great, then he would likely fight in America for the world to appreciate, and not just Asians or fellow countrymen. I think most people in the world would consider Pakistan to be part of Asia, and even though Amir Khan was born in England, and is an English national and represents England, Khan is ethnically Asian. Vic Darchinyan and Arthur Abraham are caucasians, but what's wrong with that? Asia is the biggest continent in the world, and it includes countries like Armenia who are mostly caucasian. The geographical line between Europe and Asia has never been a definite one, but Armenia is often considered part of Asia. Again the line between what is Asia and not Asia is a blurry one. The most inclusive definition I've seen is to include the Pacific Islands as part of Asia. Yes, the native Americans in North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean are mongoloid, but most consider that region to be the Americas and no longer Asia. The term Asia is a generic one, and so is the term Europe, since Asia and Europe are actually one continent. Historically, these terms were used to separate the two ends of the same large land mass due to cultural, ethnical, and historical differences.
