I would like to know how good is Shinki Takehara, the former WBA Middleweight Champion who took the title from Jorge Castro and ends up losing his title to the recent retired William Joppy? Also I would like to know how tall was Takehara in height? Is he as tall as Jorge Castro?
Silkov can you find how tall Shinki Takehara in height and why did he retired so young at age 24 after losing his title to William Joppy? Also how good was Shinki Takehara?
Sorry, I don't know Shinki's height Kovit. Just out of interest Kovit doi you know who was the shortest ever world champion?... I think it was Pascual Perez the great Flyweight champion of the late 50s and early 60s who was 4 feet 10 and a half... do you know odf any other fighters who were as short or shorter than Pascual Kovit?....
I'm pretty sure 4 foot 10 and a half is his correct height... it was in the Guinness Book of records amongst other books (including the Ring Record Book)
Baby Jake Matlala I think is less than 5 feet tall also I seem to remember there was some Asian Jr.Flyweight of some repute in the 70's That was only something like 4'8
As far as Japanese Middleweights go ..I guess Shinji Takehara was pretty good ....
