    That was probably the worst, most ill-advised post I've seen in a while. You're a prime example of someone who has no idea what he is talking about and has done zero research, but likes to assume his opinion is logical. You're what's wrong with boxing fans these days.

    Medel had a lot of losses toward the latter end of his career, as most fighters with 100+ fights do, but in his prime he was one of the very best in a fantastic era of Bantamweights. You assume you understand his career by looking at Boxrec, but trust me, you don't.

    By Rose, you're speaking of Lionel Rose? What do you know of him? Honestly. He was an excellent pure boxer and at his best he impressed me more than even Marquez, such as the Harada fight(though Harada was past his best by that point). That is a fight I've seen recently and Rose impressed me hugely. I will go so far as to say it's one of the better pure boxing performances I've seen.

    Kingpetch is nothing special? Which explains his two wins over one of the greatest Flyweights of all time in Pasqual Perez? Check his resume out(though he may have gotten a gift here and there) and you'll see how stacked it is for his number of fights. If you watch him fight, you'll see a southpaw with good/pressuring boxing skills who showed good finishing skills. If you've ever watched Yoko Gushiken fight, the two are comparable in this sense.

    My pick for greatest Asian fighter, GODZILLA. His battles with Mothra and Rodan surpass Pacs wins over Mab and Morales.

    Harada is a clear #1.

    A better question is who is the 2nd greatest, and I would probably edge to Pacquiao over the likes of other leading candidates Elorde and Villa.

    This thread was started way back last June . . . at this point there's should be no more arguements.

    Officially 4 divisional champ (5 unofficially) . . . the highest paid Asian fighter (from past to present) . . . the most globaly recognized asian fighter (from past to present) . . . first asian fighter to be P4P #1 . . .

    Pacquaio ! :deal

    Khaosai Galaxy.

    Yeah, he fought a few times outside of Thailand, but he didn't earn the nickname "Thai Tyson" for nothing. That guy could punch, his power was absolutely freakish. One of the true one punch KO artists in boxing's long history

    Here's footage of Galaxy:
