WHAT YOU SAY

Eyelid doctor
You need an "eye" doctor. Obviously you know nothing about professional boxing. These ranking by the WBA,IBF,WBC, OBF,WBO,XYZ, ABC are all rigged,just look at Don King. So the rankings mean nothing, a 20th rank boxer can jump up to 1 contender if the any of these promoters have enough clout.
Its all about money.

x-treme/eyelid doctor/rocky/the dude/legion/no-life-loser,

Please be smart enough to come up with something new when you post with a different name. Again, you are the only Filipino posting since no one is coming to your defense about this subject. Or are you just scared to use your same name again?

You need to chill...and also get a life. Obviously, you're letting the Koreans totally get under your skin which explains your hateful postings. Remember, this forum is called "Comparing Asian Athletes." Why are you constantly attacking Koreans about all kinds of different issues? That in itself shows your insecurity because you are losing the argument at hand, so you have to jump to another subject. Not very smart. Maybe because what I write hurts you? Which is why you have to try and be hurtful in return? Can you not keep it related to sports? You are the one who is so insecure that you keep posting all kinds of irrelevant crap about Filipinos. Again, get some help for your insecurity of being a Filipino (who I might add don't get any respect from the other east Asians about anything).

Have you not been reading any of the other posts?? You keep bringing up 20 ranked Filipino boxers. Listing guys who are ranked #30 in the world doesn't hold much weight. Koreans have more than our share of ranked fighters in more weight classes than Filipinos.

How many Filipinos have held world championships in the last 30 years?? Tell me because I would like to compare with Koreans. Over 30 Koreans have held world titles since 1965. During the 1980s, the nation boasted more than 10 world champions — most notably two super middleweight titlists Chongpal Park and Inchul Baek, and two excellent junior flyweight champs Jungkoo Chang and Myungwoo Yuh. And they were not just in the lightweight classes like all Filipinos compete in. That's why I say Koreans are the best boxers in Asia...2 SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONS! They have done well in many more weight classes than the Filipinos ever will.

Here's some more hard info for you:

Jan. 2 -- Cho In-joo records majority decision over Gerry Penalosa in Seoul, South Korea to retain his WBC super flyweight title.

Jan. 30 -- JongKwon Baek and Choi Kyu Chul fought to a 12-round majority draw in South Korea. Baek retains his WBA super featherweight title.

May 14 -- Cho In-joo records unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Avila South Korea to retain his WBC super flyweight title.

Dec. 12 -- Masanori Tokuyama records a unanimous decision over Akihiko Nago in Osaka, Japan to retain his WBC super flyweight title.

And in the history of the Olympics (not the Asian Games only), I see quite a bit of Korean boxers (both North and South) who have won medals. I had to look very hard to find very few Filipinos medalists, but I did also see more Japanese and Thai boxers winning medals. ZERO GOLD MEDALS won by Filipino boxers in the history of the Olympics. Wow, that's just awesome. I see why you say Filipinos are the best boxers in Asia. Koreans won golds and silvers in almost all weight classes including heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, light middleweight, welterweight, light welterweight, etc. You can check both of the following for yourself:

I'm more likely to win the Lotto than seeing a Filipino medal as a HEAVYWEIGHT.

One more tidbit. This article is about an Indian boxer. Please note what he says about Korean boxers about the upcoming Asian games.

TOUGHER COMPETITION
The Asian Games, to be held in South Korea in September, are expected to throw up tougher competition from Thailand, Philippines and the hosts, who are particularly strong in the lighter weight divisions.
''I have to concentrate on developing more skills. South Korea will be the toughest,'' said the quick counter-attacking Ali.

He did not give the same respect to the Filipino boxers did he?

Nuff said. Get off the subject now that you've lost all credibility on this board. And please do not talk about non-sports related subjects in this forum again. Like I said, even thought Filipinos do well in boxing, don't overstate your arguement because they are not close to being the BEST boxers in Asia. I can see your eagerness in spreading the word that Filipinos are good at boxing (primarily becuz they stink in everything else), be realistic. I think if we took an informal survey here of who the better boxers are between Koreans and Filipinos, we'll know who wins...hands down. It'll be a KO as in KOrean.
