Thank you for shining light on boxers from outside of the American sphere. I don't think people realize how hard it is for some of these guys, especially in the lower weight classes, to gain real fame and fortune
And than when they do and take a big fight in america down the line after spending they’re whole entire lives fighting and giving everything for that opportunity and than they get robbed in America and than 6 months later nobody acknowledges the guy got robbed and he’s an afterthought in boxing and loses everything he worked for.
@@mr.fukk12 Facts. A great example is Rolly vs Ismael Barroso. Rolly is a guy who only is relevant because he's got a big mouth + his alignment with Mayweather promotions. He got an extremely privileged title shot at 140 against a Venezuelan who worked his way up the rankings the hard way. Dude gets a complete gift stoppage, and just like that Barroso gets robbed from his world title and all the opportunities that comes with it.
This is the only man on RUclips who even covers Asian fighters and actually understands the environment in the sport there. I've learned so much from this guy
No annoying voice over, no ridiculous graphics or sensationalist video. Instead clear,concise, informative commentary on the subject. You are the best boxing channel on YT sir. Thanks for another great episode. I'm from the UK and we have dozens of great boxers, but the best I have seen is Joe Calzaghe.
Very true. I've been seeing this surge of oddly indistiguishable boxing "content" that revolves around wannabe movie narrators spewing vapid hyperbole about extremely mainstream boxers. Hancho is just Hancho, he's his own thing.
rey mercer only won a minor heavyweight belt, not a major belt, the WBO was not a major belt until 2007, what are you talking about, he even vacated the WBO belt after beating morrison that's the same thing to michael moorer
@@foxwolf316 it's is a nice looking belt though love that cranberry wbo then green wbc the red ibf Don't like the black n gold wba but I might be mixing them up wbc used to be my favorite n ibf used to be my favorite
these accomplishments, that these fighters did, are amazing to talk about or look at, even if they were over there head being champions early, it's still amazing to look at, in male and female boxers.
You should consider checking out Yoshiki Takei. He was one of the most dominant champs in K1 Japan during the 2010s. He’s transitioned to boxing and is undefeated.
hozumi hasegawa is great despite barley winning fights by ko, he proved to everyone as being 3 time weight class champion and the best at his time, he's amazing
I’m from omaha,Nebraska home of the one and only Bud Crawford. Guy is a hero here and the by far the best attraction in the state since Nebraska college football sucks now. Also has spent a good amount of his time and wealth fixing up the impoverished parts of the city true inspiration
Now, that is a headline! OHB, you have the best intro of all the boxing related channels. Every video is better than the last. Been watching for 10 years now and your love if the sport and coverage of every division is uncontended. I think you are the only active boxing channel I follow other than Rummy, and thats ou of like 10. Continue kicking ass and thank for the years of content. I'm Canadian, so all our good fighters fight else where. Saying that, For Canada, Tie for #1 boxer: Lennox Lewis, Razor Ruddock and George Chavalo MMA: GSP, Rory MacDonald and from my hometown of Barrie, Ontario. Canada, Gary Goodridge. Still the best KO in UFC in my opinion.
I remember Gary big daddy goodridge wen he first ever walked out in a black gi n ko that guy with elbows he had in a crusifix back in the 90s wen I was a teenager then his pride fc days dam he was a bad ass fighter but u gotta give it in mma to GSP the Quebec city guy I been to Quebec city n Montreal saint Kathrine street de Rua good times even seen a pregnant girl still stripping lol
@MixUp 90 It is fucked up. He opened his own gym in Barrie around 2010 (I think), and it did not last long. It is a shame he was fighting before there was any money in MMA. Any of his recent interviews are kind of sad.
Ty for always choosing to put out QUALITY over quantity, I'd rather have a video once every three months like this than that shit ppl pump out as much as the leave a piss per day ty again
Many years ago, I went to Tuesday Night at the Fights in Pontiac Michigan. You remember, with Sean O'Grady. Setting at a table right next to us was Leon Spinks. The guy was friendly as heck, and had the most beautiful penmanship I have ever seen.
@@SoNewEnglandsuxYou're not mixed up. Leon Spinks son Cory Spinks was a world champion at Welterweight. Had a couple of big fights with Zab Judah. Might have got a junior middleweight title also
From upstate NY. Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, Michael Moore, Jake LaMotta, Mark Breland. To name just a very few. Love all your videos man. Keep up the great work.
As someone from St. Louis, I am one of the few who is really proud to rep sonny Liston. It’s a shame how he was treated after winning the title. No one was there to greet him when he got off the plain. Then again, being a monster didn’t help lol. Although my Puerto Rican heritage makes me say Jose Torres, taught by none other then Cus D’Amato. The same man that molded mike Tyson
Liston coming home after winning and seeing no one waiting for him broke my heart. Man had a good soul underneath it all and he deserved better from life.
Eder Jofre 🥊 I hope I’m pronouncing that right.. I train with MMA legend Dan Henderson boxing trainer, his name is Gustavo, from Brazil.. I’ll mention Eder Jofre to him, I’m sure his eyes will light up.. ha thanks for sharing
To answer your question: I'm Canadian so obviously the best fighter we got is GSP. I'm also of Ghanaian descent and I would say either Azumah Nelson or Ike Quartey (he got Shafted against Del LA Hoya lol) if were talking best Ghanaian fighters. Also shout out to Nana Konadu who you mentioned. He is a legend too.
@FMG Mack my fault he said best fighter and GSP has a best resume in Canada so I went with him. Honestly thinking about it, while we fuck with Lennox in Canada cause he won us a medal, he clearly made it known he'd rather be British, faked a British accent for a while too lol
@Kyle Lamar Myers of course, I trained with a couple house of champion guys before a couple times so I'm interested to see how all the Hamilton fighters do.
bro i love your knowledge of boxing it helps me expand of what I know so far. I like how youre also in touch with the international side as well its amazing. Thank you Hancho!
Best skateboarder u have is BA Brian Anderson n Donny barely just saying ik it's not about fighting but u got the x UFC HW champ at the oldest age in the UFC glover texerira n now Alex perreira is living there now n ron kowawalski lol jk I remember training there when the gravies went there in Waterbury CT
You have some of the best boxing videos on RUclips. I've been a fan for probably 2 years I'd guess. Always know when I click your video it's going to be top notch editing, narration and knowledge. You really know your shit. Thanks for the great content!
That's a difficult question, the Netherlands have produced so many great fighters. I'd say Ernesto Hoost is my favorite from the retired ones, and Nieky Holzken is my favorite one still active.
Greetings from the land of the IBF (also known as New Jersey). Currently the best fighter from NJ is🙌down Shakur Stevenson, but speaking all time it’s probably Jersey Joe Walcott. Thank you for the top notch boxing videos, keep up the great work! Also, Taylor takes it on Saturday. **welp, so much for Taylor taking it. Congrats to Teo, hope he finds a sports psychologist & picks up reading some of the works of Adolf Reed to educate himself after this fight.
I'm from Brazil and the best fighter we had here is the great Anderson Silva, but in the boxing game is obviously Eder Jofre. Nowadays we have a great contender Esquiva Falcao who will soon fight for the IBF middleweight championship.
Thank God for the IBF they only org that gives the best chance for a fighter who deserves the title shot gets it n u gotta defend it no matter wat or u get stripped best org in boxing ibf
For the mid roll question; I was born in Mexico, but have lived all my life in the United States. For Mexico there are so many amazing champions Canelo, Chavez, Sanchez, etc. Though in my opinion Chavez is still the best fighter from Mexico. As for the U.S. I reside in Ga and I have always been a big fan of Mr. Evander Holyfield, watching the numerous documentaries about his career in boxing it has been interesting.
1. I thank you, again, for including fighters in the lower weight divisions, fighters that Western boxing ignores. 2. I'm not sure why you included Ray Mercer. 3. At the time it was widely thought (strongly suspected) Leon Spinks was cherry picked so that Ali could set the record for regaining the WHW title 3 times. 4. Many fighters who were successful at an early age were burnt out by the age when most fighters are starting to peak; Wilfred Benitez is a classic & tragic example.
I hope this is fulfilling for you! You do such an amazing job with these videos and you are keeping boxing history relevant.. man you are awesome! Love your work dude!
Live in Chile 🇨🇱 Best boxers: Arturo Godoy, Martín Vargas, Daniela Asenjo Grew up in Rhode Island ⚓ Vinny Pazienza, Peter Manfredo, Jr., Demetrius Andrade (Miguel Cotto was also born in RI)
I am from Pennsylvania, the first fighter that comes to mind is Bernard Hopkins. Another one is joe Frazier even though he wasn't born in Pennsylvania he start his career here. Honorable mention to Matthew Franklin and for mma eddie Alvarez.
Hancho, is Jason Ozuma based off Rick Yoshimura? That would make perfect sense! Btw, I've been a hardcore fan of your channel for a long time now, hats off to you, sir. Now, to answer your question, I'm colombian, and I'd say we have a triple tie between Rodrigo "Rocky" Valdéz (two times middleweight champion), Miguel "Happy" Lora (WBC's bantamweight champion for 3 years, defending the title seven time) and Antonio "Kid Pambelé" Cervantes (two times junior welterweight champion).
Ozuma is more based on Yuji Gomez, coincidentally Yuji and Rick both came from NYC. I did a 40min video of Hajime No Ippo / Ashita No Joe moments. That's all in there.
4:04 ngl The first thing I said when I saw that man was, “He got hair like my daddy!” And it’s also wild that that great boxer was the visual template for Mr. Satan. I completely thought he (the cartoon character, not the champion), was made up or a caricature of American ✌️ movie martial arts ✌️ actors. Dope segment.
Plattsburgh NY, I'm about 20 mins from Canadian border and the obvious answer would be Tyson but I'm gonna go with Glenn's Falls own Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Hooooooooo!!!!!!
Having one Olympic gold medal says a lot but having won TWO Olympic gold medals says you are of a rare breed champion level boxer! That says you are destined to become a world champion at professional - if you have the hunger to go there! Or having gone houndreds of legit amature matches and competed in a lot of; Olympics, World Championships, European Championships, Commonwealth Games, South America Championships etc. says you are a well-rounded boxer with a lot of training, ring experience and top level competition experiences that equals you to be a serious championship contender. You manage to have a mix of all this under your belt = Then YES! You will be given a big boost as a proffesional boxer on your way up! Lomachenko had TWO Olympic gold medals. To my knowledge, he is the ONLY PRO world champion P4P boxer who have ever accomplished that. "Sugar" Ray Leonard was a superstar and earned $400.000 in his very 1st professional bout - Marvin Hagler at the same time earned $50 bucks in his 1st PRO match!
@@mongoslade277 Well that is depending on how old you are when turning PRO. If you have tallent early like Lewisor Khan, then it is possible to compete in 2 OG. Lets take Amir Kahn for example. He was just incredible 17 young when he won an Olympic silver medal back in 2004. He was solid all the way to the final where he met an far to exsperienced Cuban who defended his gold. BUT lets say Khan won that gold for this example. he then continues as an amature till the next Olympics in Bejing 2008 and this time he is 21 years young and still considered incredible young for this level of competition and wins his 2nd gold, this time with more bravado! He turns Pro in January 2009 at age 21 to be 22 and still have incredible amount of time to develop his PRO craft and learn the ways of PRO boxing. He is at this point that "rare super breed". We all know inreality Amir Khan never became all this, but he was a good example. Lomachenko's problem is to few fights as he seemed them to be not worthy unless he fought for a championship, and even then to fe title defences made him waste time.
@@CLC407 Yeah, that is fully correct. I overdid the numbers there as I was unsure of the amount until now when I went back and looked at his PRO boxing career. Overdid it by 600K :-D That was a lot so to speak.
Bro I'm from Australia and there are so many great Australian fighters but most of them are not boxers. Alexander volkanovski the MMA fighter is probably the best fighter in the world currently. John Wayne parr is one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time. But the best boxer from Australia has to be Kostya Tszyu without a doubt.
I'm from Delaware and It is easily Dave Tiberi. He was robbed when fighting against James Toney during his IBF Middleweight reign. The closet fighter from the Diamond State to win a title. God willing, I can be the first.
Hmm... To answer your question(New Zealand), our top MMA fighter would have to be Izzy, and I'd say Joseph Parker for boxing. New Zealand has plenty of talent in both disciplines though.
Yoko Gushiken and Jiro Watanabe are two of my favorite fighters of all time. Both are criminally underrated for Gushiken being a HOFer and Watanabe should be a HOFer. I’ve linked every fight video I can find of them to their boxrec pages if anyone’s interested in watching the Fierce Eagle and Watanabe during their heydays.
14:51 Boxing: past favorite/best: Sugar Ray Robinson/Muhammad Ali. Current favorite/best: Terence Crawford/Clarissa Shield MMA: Jon Jones/Demetrius Johnson 14:56 Smokin' Joe Fraizer. Beaufort, South Carolina
I’m from Canada and Winnipeg so the best fighter to ever be born in Canada is of course the great MMA fighter Georges Saint-Pierre. The best fighter to ever call Winnipeg home was former WBC light-heavyweight champion Donny Lalonde. The best kick-boxer I’d say would be Joesph Valtilini and as for Muay Thai fighter I wouldn’t have a clue because of the lack of media coverage available.
I'm from Florida and hands down Roy Jones Jr for me. Love dudes quick entertainment style and the hooks. I've started muay thai myself and once i get the basics down I wanna develop a hook or body punching like Jones
Couple of things. I have no problem classing Jake Paul as a boxer when he fights professional boxers. His first real boxer he faced was a boxer and under the age of 35 was Tommy Fury and he lost (no issue with a loss as you can always come back from that). However Jake Paul is chasing big names who can make him money and are not really boxers, again I have no issue with that other than they are not real boxing matches in my eyes (Just my opinion though). As for Boxers from my Country being Scottish there are loads, the main one at the moment is Josh Taylor and is currently my favourite boxer. However I cannot look past Taylors idol and one the greatest of all time.... Ken Buchanan, who sadly passed away 1st Apr 2023... RIP my good man.
To answer ur question Im from Australia (Perth Western Australia specifically) and we got folks like Robert Whittaker Tim Tszyu Jeff Horn Danny Green Jeff Fenech Lester Ellis the list goes on but my fave is Danny Green the ex IBO cruiserweight champ, i met him near his Warwick gym i was tongue tied but he was so nice real friendly fella
michael moorer is the same as rey mercer, only at least he would become major champ years later, people say he's a 2 time champ while others say he's a 3 time, heavyweight champ because he strip the WBO after winning it, and then became lineage and a real major until his first loss came, the WBO was not major.
Thank you for shining light on boxers from outside of the American sphere. I don't think people realize how hard it is for some of these guys, especially in the lower weight classes, to gain real fame and fortune

Puerto Rico (Trinidad)(Benitez)
Massachusetts (Marciano) (Hagler)
4 all time greats and all great in different ways. No one could slip a punch like Benitez
The difference being, of course, that Jake Paul doesn't actually fight boxers lol.
Plattsburgh NY, I'm about 20 mins from Canadian border and the obvious answer would be Tyson but I'm gonna go with Glenn's Falls own Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Hooooooooo!!!!!!
Thomas Hearns is the best from my city.
Australia. Currently the best boxer I'd say is Tim Tszyu, & Robert Whittaker for UFC, but of all time... now that's a tough one
Alexander Volkanovski
@@pr0jectSkyneT oh sh*t! My bad, I forgot about him
I know the video is not about him but seeing Hasegawa fight I Canton believe how great he was. One of my all time favoutite boxers
Houston tx,Reggie Johnson 3x world champ
Jermell Charlo for me
Having one Olympic gold medal says a lot but having won TWO Olympic gold medals says you are of a rare breed champion level boxer!
That says you are destined to become a world champion at professional - if you have the hunger to go there!
Or having gone houndreds of legit amature matches and competed in a lot of; Olympics, World Championships, European Championships, Commonwealth Games, South America Championships etc. says you are a well-rounded boxer with a lot of training, ring experience and top level competition experiences that equals you to be a serious championship contender. You manage to have a mix of all this under your belt = Then YES! You will be given a big boost as a proffesional boxer on your way up!
Lomachenko had TWO Olympic gold medals. To my knowledge, he is the ONLY PRO world champion P4P boxer who have ever accomplished that.
"Sugar" Ray Leonard was a superstar and earned $400.000 in his very 1st professional bout - Marvin Hagler at the same time earned $50 bucks in his 1st PRO match!
Actually, I think Sugar Ray earned about $40,000 for his debut.
Having 2 Olympic medals means you were an amateur for too long
@@CLC407Sounds right. I know Sugar Ray didn't make a million dollars in a fight until he fought Benitez
@@mongoslade277 Well that is depending on how old you are when turning PRO. If you have tallent early like Lewisor Khan, then it is possible to compete in 2 OG.
Lets take Amir Kahn for example. He was just incredible 17 young when he won an Olympic silver medal back in 2004. He was solid all the way to the final where he met an far to exsperienced Cuban who defended his gold.
BUT lets say Khan won that gold for this example. he then continues as an amature till the next Olympics in Bejing 2008 and this time he is 21 years young and still considered incredible young for this level of competition and wins his 2nd gold, this time with more bravado!
He turns Pro in January 2009 at age 21 to be 22 and still have incredible amount of time to develop his PRO craft and learn the ways of PRO boxing. He is at this point that "rare super breed".
We all know inreality Amir Khan never became all this, but he was a good example. Lomachenko's problem is to few fights as he seemed them to be not worthy unless he fought for a championship, and even then to fe title defences made him waste time.
@@CLC407 Yeah, that is fully correct. I overdid the numbers there as I was unsure of the amount until now when I went back and looked at his PRO boxing career.
Overdid it by 600K :-D That was a lot so to speak.
Glad ur back officehancho
Bro I'm from Australia and there are so many great Australian fighters but most of them are not boxers. Alexander volkanovski the MMA fighter is probably the best fighter in the world currently. John Wayne parr is one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time. But the best boxer from Australia has to be Kostya Tszyu without a doubt.
I'm from Delaware and It is easily Dave Tiberi. He was robbed when fighting against James Toney during his IBF Middleweight reign. The closet fighter from the Diamond State to win a title. God willing, I can be the first.
Hmm... To answer your question(New Zealand), our top MMA fighter would have to be Izzy, and I'd say Joseph Parker for boxing. New Zealand has plenty of talent in both disciplines though.
Live this channel
I'm a simple guy. I see Hancho video, I click it. Nice!
Louisiana and Regis Prograis from New Orleans has to be our best right now!
Yo great video
Ismael salas is one of the best trainers ever. Great video
Naoya Inoue fighting anyone in top 50 for his first fights is crazy work
Puerto Rico. Wilfred Benitez.
I'm from Yucatan, Mexico, I would say "Maestro" Miguel Canto
If u notice most boxer on the list are from smaller weight class where there isn't a lot of fighters therefore they get title shots quicker.
Yoko Gushiken and Jiro Watanabe are two of my favorite fighters of all time. Both are criminally underrated for Gushiken being a HOFer and Watanabe should be a HOFer. I’ve linked every fight video I can find of them to their boxrec pages if anyone’s interested in watching the Fierce Eagle and Watanabe during their heydays.
I'm from the UK. Surely 😊josh Taylor is our best fighter right now
14:51 Boxing: past favorite/best: Sugar Ray Robinson/Muhammad Ali. Current favorite/best: Terence Crawford/Clarissa Shield
MMA: Jon Jones/Demetrius Johnson
14:56 Smokin' Joe Fraizer. Beaufort, South Carolina
Another banger
Damn. Yoko has the best mustache i have ever seen on an asian guy. Jealous....
I’m from Canada and Winnipeg so the best fighter to ever be born in Canada is of course the great MMA fighter Georges Saint-Pierre. The best fighter to ever call Winnipeg home was former WBC light-heavyweight champion Donny Lalonde.
The best kick-boxer I’d say would be Joesph Valtilini and as for Muay Thai fighter I wouldn’t have a clue because of the lack of media coverage available.
Chicago: Michael Grant, David Diaz, Peter Quillin, Battling Nelson, Oliver Mccall, Emmanuel Augustus, Michael Bennett and Professor Mike Donovan
I’m Danish.
The best boxer from Denmark was Mikkel Kessler.
Absolutely love that guy, go give him some love please :)
The Viking Warrior!
Kessler wat a beast in the super six tournament I remember watching him live from the states super series tourney is the tops
I'm from Florida and hands down Roy Jones Jr for me. Love dudes quick entertainment style and the hooks.
I've started muay thai myself and once i get the basics down I wanna develop a hook or body punching like Jones
I’m from Alaska, I think the greatest Alaskan born MMA fighter would be Carlton Minus (active) and Nic Herron Webb (retired)
Couple of things.
I have no problem classing Jake Paul as a boxer when he fights professional boxers. His first real boxer he faced was a boxer and under the age of 35 was Tommy Fury and he lost (no issue with a loss as you can always come back from that). However Jake Paul is chasing big names who can make him money and are not really boxers, again I have no issue with that other than they are not real boxing matches in my eyes (Just my opinion though).
As for Boxers from my Country being Scottish there are loads, the main one at the moment is Josh Taylor and is currently my favourite boxer. However I cannot look past Taylors idol and one the greatest of all time.... Ken Buchanan, who sadly passed away 1st Apr 2023... RIP my good man.
To answer ur question Im from Australia (Perth Western Australia specifically) and we got folks like Robert Whittaker Tim Tszyu Jeff Horn Danny Green Jeff Fenech Lester Ellis the list goes on but my fave is Danny Green the ex IBO cruiserweight champ, i met him near his Warwick gym i was tongue tied but he was so nice real friendly fella
michael moorer is the same as rey mercer, only at least he would become major champ years later, people say he's a 2 time champ while others say he's a 3 time, heavyweight champ because he strip the WBO after winning it, and then became lineage and a real major until his first loss came, the WBO was not major.
George Foreman was born in Marshall, Tx about a 20 minute drive from where I’m living now
Regis Prograis is from my State. He’s definitely the best from my state⚜️💪🏿
From the US states. DALLAS Texas, either Spence @ 147 or vergil ortiz as well
I'm from America, and easily the best boxer from my state is the late, great, " Sweet Pea ", Pernell Whitaker. RIP!
Yukon, Oklahoma’s very own: Sean O’Grady
