Saman who had a great war with Chiquita Gonzalez quite a while ago. Not in his prime obviously when he fought Kameda.

I don't admire Japanese boxers that much. They seem to hand-pick their opponents (consisting of journeymen most of the time). Something I like about Pac is that at least he's getting out of the Phils to fight top notch opposition and proving he has what it takes to be a champion. I have seen lots of fights in Japan that are a complete steal *sigh*. Seems like Japanese have to be taken out on a stretcher to REALLY LOSE a match.
Not sure about your comment on Jap fighters. One of my faves,Takefumi Sakata does not handpick his opponents. Elaborate on your point,name a fighter.
