Famous asian boxers?

[Whoseyourdaddy]

I was just wondering? are there any? if there are, that would be cool.

There are but unfortunately they don't get as much publicity here in the US. However after Manny Pacquiao from the Philippines upset and soundly defeated Marco Antonio Barrera. Pacquiao popularity will slowly increase here in the US.

Pongsaklek Wonjongkam the wbc flyweight champ is kind of famous

and there are a ton of thai, and japanese ranked in the lower weights

Khaosay Galaxy? Held titles in muay thai and boxing. Thailand, Japan and Korea produce Olympic level boxers, but not world-wide professional names. Manny is the first guy to get global exposure.

So was I. Khaosay Galaxy fought as a professional western boxer and held titles in either light weight or bantam weight. Jesus Chong is a rare name that comes up too.

I saw a middle weight Japanese boxer on t.v. a few years back. The particular guy he fought was a well known Cuban fighter. The Japanese guy won by TKO in 4th or 5th.

The question was FAMOUS chink boxers. The answer is "none". We've had famous whites, blacks, spics, even a few that managed to combine lineages, but no yellows. Whether they were good or not is not the issue - were they famous is he main question here. No.

You've already proven that you are an idiot. Why continue to belabor the point?

Dont mean to be rude, but Italians are Caucasion. Its in just about every scientific book regarding race, DNA tests confirm this.
Caucasion= European decent, not English decent

Jews, im not sure, i heard they were a mix of the original jews from the Middle East and European.

sorry for rant, just wanted to clear that up.
