Obviously including Baki, Yujiro and the main antagonists of each arc (that they are the antagonist in), who is the strongest in each arc out of Doppo, Katsumi, Retsu, Jack Hanma, Hanayama, Motobe, Shibukawa Pickle (in the Musashi arc).

In my opinion:
Prisoners: Hanayama (easiest time with prisoner)

Chinese Challenge: Retsu (my goat)

Muhammad Ali: Jack Hanma (first to beat Ali)

Prisoner: nobody really gets any fights (so ig still Jack)

Pickle: Katsumi (Mach punch giving Pickle his hardest fight bar Baki, though I could understand Retsu and Jack as choices too)

Father Son: Retsu (boxing adventure)

Musashi Arc: Motobe (though arguably Hanayama)

Hello guys I posted an ippo edit I am proud of on my new insta (and first edit ever too). Please enjoy and be nice https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZmQ9PMyIVM/

He was ranked 1st before his fight with Imai.

Since then he has had 5 fights and 5 wins (all by decision)

How is he not the #1 contender even without the KOs.

Ippo had 1 fight between Date and Sendo before he was given challenging rights and his fight wasn’t even in the Japanese rankings! Itagaki should at least be #1/2
