    Chavez? Duran?

    Most Thais are naturally pressure fighters due to thier MT background but can’t name the best....

    Khaosai Galaxy was probably the best of the thais. Had the power and chin to go with that pressure style.

    Not that we have any film of him but Greb may be the best.

    If we don't include Greb, then the greatest is Armstrong but I think the best is Duran, narrowly. Harada isn't far behind though. Then you have the Mexicans - Chavez, Saldivar, Zarate, Olivares. Fenech is up there too.

    Battling Nelson deserves an honourable mention too. And Jung-Koo Chang.

    You should read the thread ******/pig mix. He is asking for a great swarmer combined with better skill so the answer is Armstrong . frazier was the closest thing to armstrong but the smaller guy was better pfp.get out of here you clown.you know ****

    Lol keep your panties on and stop with the hissy fit, junior. It's not like it the first time that someone has pointed out the clueless nonsense that you post here. Take your medicine and learn from those that actually know what they are talking about.
