#8: Khaosai Galaxy (49-1 43 KO)



Galaxy is one of the hardest punchers ever no matter what weight class you are talking about. He won the WBA super flyweight and defended it 19 times with 16 knockout victories.

He only fought in Asia and was an unknown quantity for a long time in America. He was nicknamed The Thai Tyson for his devastating punch and was named the 19th hardest puncher by The Ring.

He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1999.

He was in a great era of flyweights and bantams and fought none of them, he had extraordinary power and was pretty good defensively but it's a shame his promoters kept him in Asia, his resume could be so much better with names like Orlando Canizales, Raul Perez, Wilfredo Vasquez, Sung-kil Moon, Jiro Watanabe (Although Watanabe avoided him), Gilberto Roman and others instead of fighting people who weren't ranked as high.

His best win is what, a past it Orano ?.
Good but he could of got so much better.

Had he gone the Pacquiao route, I have no doubt that he would achieve a very similar stature in both financial and boxing accolades...

Unfortunately at the time, there's the money issue also of travelling and I wonder if he has enough to finance even that. I am sure he can but they've never thought about going beyond their horizons because he was being showered with fame (and money) already in Asia.

But one can only imagine....
