Why do I call him a fighting champion ?
Simple, Chong Wei has been the World No.1 for more than a year and look at the way he has demolished all his nemesis such as Peter Gade etc. Lin Dan may have beaten Chong Wei in the Olympics, World Championship. But he did it the chicken way i.e hiding away and only playing in the majors. In fact, he registered to play in the Malaysian Open but chickened out at the very last minute.
BTW, just like World Lady Squash Champion Nicol David, Chong Wei is also a Penangite :-)
