I thought would be nice start off a thread on the Greatest Muay Thai / Kickboxing Fighters ever.....and this is the best place to do that (although it is the MMA Forum ).... Muay Thai and Kickboxing are different styles of fighting.....I know....but they face each other and compete some of the time, and would be nice to discuss both......and would be very interesting to discuss the greatest of all time......we´ll see.... Put some videos, give your opinions.......recommend some fights ! -Who Is The Best ? -Who Are The Greatest Fighters of All Time ??, Tell us.... -The Best Fights of All Time ?? I am about to start Muay Thai...this month....so, I wanna learn more about the sport and the best fighters..... My knowledge isn´t very good so I decided to mention only a few names : Apideh Sit-Hirun: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErGQK7LtJ90[/ame] Dieselnoi: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pARhS01zlWw[/ame] Samart Payakaroon [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VLD7hEzZEs[/ame] Dany Bill [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiCgJCBVUnY[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSsrvJUUtv4&feature=related[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU-M0D0StZE&feature=related[/ame] Ramon Dekkers [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5qgG5hN5JA&feature=related[/ame] It´s gonna be a thread that I´m looking forward to learning more....:good

Those 2 r right at the to of the p4p list of non thai born and raised thai fighters.. Parr is a legend and Carnage well his nickname says it all.
id pick remy bonjasky all mother****ing day against any of those fighters. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F-5Wpo9oBM[/ame]
The first minute or so is a bit slow but just wait til Stan starts putting them to sleep and putting them to sleep >>> [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBctDSVGhhA[/ame]
John Wayne Parr although a fantastic fighter in his day is on the decline right now so he is not p4p best non thai fighter like someone said. In terms of all time great non thai fighters, id put rammon dekkers right up there. Along with gilbert balletine (if thats how you spell it). In the UK we have some poor fighters compared to the dutch and eastern europeans... ronnie green is the best we have ever produdced As for kickboxing, as far as im aware benny the jet and dennis alexio (guy from kickboxer) are rated amongst the best...although im no expert and who gives a **** about kickboxing anyway its a dead sport.
Stan is great but there is only one ATG. Nai Khanomtom.:yep For full Thai rules best farang IMO are Dekkers then JWP. Those two stand as farang ATG's apart from everyone else.
ATG status then it is correct that Dekkers first and JWP second for farang. The first farang to really make his mark with the Thai's followed by the first farang to win the Kings cup and green jacket and then repeat. ATG. :deal
I believe Samart's brother Kongtonaree picked up a few Lumpinee titles at different weights, and hopefully I'll be meeting him to interview him for the book next week Vic :good
