    your so right about the boxing in kickboxing being so different to the boxing in boxing

    Talented fighters can adapt to the different rule sets. Sam Soliman is a great example

    Off the top of my head, there's not too many who've come across from kickboxing and been successful. I can think of...
    Troy Dorsey
    James Warring
    Sam Soliman
    Briggs brothers and that's about it.

    Also the guys that have come over from kickboxing had left it behind and become boxers, you can't do both at the same time two different sports.

    I don't know if he made a career out of it. I always thought he was like Hatton, fought some but switched across early doors.

    He once was a professional Kickboxer, he had an awesome record fighting that style as an amateur. The guy was a born fighter

    Grant 'Bomber' Barker from Sydney went over and got smashed by Vitali in a pro kickboxing fight in the 90's
