Khaosai Galaxy is one of the greatest knockout artists of the lower weight classes who couldn't climb higher on this list because of a lack of Hall of Fame competition.
Born as Sura Saenkham in northern Thailand, Galaxy was a professional Muay Thai fighter who took the name Galaxy from a restaurant and nightclub owned by his manager's friend. Seeking bigger paydays, Galaxy switched to boxing.
Initially, Galaxy won his fights solely with a powerful left hand. Eventually, he developed boxing skills to go along with his Muay Thai techniques that made him nearly unbeatable.
Galaxy won his first six fights bantamweight fights against weak competition and then took on Sak Galaxy for the Thai bantamweight title. Khaosai lost on points and wouldn't lose again.
In 1984, he knocked out undefeated Eusebio Espinal to win the WBA super flyweight title and would never relinquish it. Galaxy defended the title 19 times over seven years, winning 16 by knockouts. Ring Magazine listed Galaxy as No. 19 on its list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
