Contested PROD but subject does not meet either WP:NBOX or WP:GNG. Peter Rehse (talk) 14:27, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment potentially notable due to having one of the greatest padded records in boxing history. Having a 'world title fight' against a chap with a record of 0-7! I am shocked. Unless he was actually ranked in the Top 15 or better still 10 by one of the recognized organizations then he fails WP:NBOX. However, his padded record may have garnered him enough attention to pass WP:GNG. Further investigation is required before I go with a Delete !vote.--Donniediamond (talk) 15:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to say that he reminded me of the 'great' Ali Raymi, when I realized the pair are actually linked. I have a feeling this one will pass WP:GNG.--Donniediamond (talk) 15:50, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Ring had him in their annual Top 10 in both 2000 and 2001 under the name Samson Toyota Thailand. Thai fighters often change their names with a change in sponsor or gym. As he is ranking in the Ring I've moved to Speedy Keep. --Donniediamond (talk) 15:56, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on Donniediamond's finding of his Ring rankings. The name thing should be mentioned in the article. Mdtemp (talk) 01:04, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The WBF title doesn't meet WP:NBOX, but his Ring magazine rankings do. Papaursa (talk) 00:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
