FYI, Park won the 1985 All England and World Champs using a racquet with a metal frame (even though Yonex had already introduced the all graphite racquet). His racquet (and his partner's) was the Yonex carbonex 9 (original version).david14700 said:Wow, look at how many tournaments Park Joo Bong won, incredible!And the time period is amazing too.
He won his first All England title in 1985, when Yonex had just introduced an all graphite racket and everyone else still had aluminium heads. He won his last All England in 1996 when Yonex were introducing titanium meshes into their rackets (I think the Ti-8 came out that year).

SIGIT??? he's a good player and all, but never reallly won olympics... candra and tony have a much better chance to go to hall of fame than him... my pic is candra out of the 3, for sigit was banned for some time and effected him, while tony is a one-time hitter (ie olympics, wc) he could have won more, but he chose to go to US, so...
libra said:Someone above mentioned achieving a lot in a short time. On that comment, I'd be surprised if anyone picked Candra over Tony. Having won the Olympics with Candra, Tony still went on to win the All England and World Championships with Halim (considered a weaker player).
Current player deserving Hall of Fame status I'd say Kim Dong Moon/Gao Ling. No one else comes close.
