    Who are the best Thai boxers? Do they all cross over from Muay Thai kickboxing? I know one of the most successfull muay thai to boxing fighters is Paul Briggs.

    Why u mad 4? I'm guessing you know more about this subject than me which is why I asked the question. I have a bigger interest in Thais and Muay Thais these days since my country is the greatest Muay Thai country outside of Thailand.

    JWP was great don't get me wrong, but, while not really full MT rules, the Netherlands clearly has the best kick boxing nation outside SEA.

    He was pretty good. His brother was more talented though.

    Give me some more info. Fenech would have beaten any version of Payakaroon so the result certainly was never in doubt:good

    :lol: Agreed.

    And Smitty you're right, in boxing. In a straight up fight Samart would've killed Fenech, literally.

    Not in an all out street fight. Fenech ****s him up there. He is one bantamweight who would have a 50-50 chance in a street fight with Liston.

    Payakaroon would decimate him. Fenech's style Vs Eight limbs is a terrible idea.
