I did not know that you had an interest in boxers from the Orient. How did that come to be? We have a few posters here from the Phillipines that may enjoy talking boxers from that region.

My interest began several years ago after I noticed the lack of discussion on message boards about Asian fighters who I was trying to learn more about. Since I could not find much information on message boards I started reading articles and contacted people who were familiar with fighters from that region such as Joe Koizumi and Scott Mallon among others, and at the same time The more I read and learned about them the more my interest grew, and it has been that way ever since.

RB, could you offer a rundown of the greatest Asian fighters in your opinion? We had a debate about this on the other site centered around Pac and Harada, but it wasnt fruitfull to say the least.

I´m just curious who you see as the best core of Asian fighters, and if you have any unconventional views having seen all of the footage you have.

Acb,

Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I`ve been having problems with my internet for the past week and kept getting disconnected every few minutes so I barely spent any time on the pc during that time, but now my internet is up and running again so I`ll be around more often. I`ll start a thread on the subject either later today or on the weekend, and we`ll see if this one can be more informative than the last one on ESB. I won`t make no top ten lists though as I hate doing those, but I`ll name which fighters I consider to be the top guys from each boxing hotbed in Asia such as Japan, Korea, etc...
