Who are your favourite muay thai/kick boxing fighters?

Past and present.

One of my favourites is John "Wayne" Parr. Obviously because he's Australian , but I also like his style, he's a tough guy, with heavy hands, also a technical fighter who likes to carry the left leg high. Wasn't as successful in K-1 as he was in Muay thai. If he was going to win that tournament it was going to be the first year he went in (when he was on that tear winning the S-1 cup) ... still there's no shame in losing to Buakaw, especially when it has to go to an extra round and you lose that round via split decision.

Parr's got a huge set of balls, tried his hand at boxing, and he was decent, just not quite enough of a fish in water with boxing to succeed, but tough as nail as always. Recently he jumped in the ring for an mma match with Tony Bonnello, which is insane since even with the two months or so of grapling training he had... there was no chance against Bonello who's much more experienced, and is over 30 pounds heavier easily (grappling with a larger man who's more experienced is even more suicidal than striking with one), but that's Parr, he'll fight anyone, anywhere. He's also a good guy, he and his wife often to post on K-1 fans, here's a nice set of highlights :good

I love Kaoklai, shame he can't get back his old form, used to love seeing him beat fighters who sometimes outweighed him by as much as 70 pounds, the Mighty Mo KO is a classic :yep

 

Only if you post pics :smoke

 

I think it's more like shaky chin + crap head movement, Hide is the gold glass standard.

 

Rob Kaman is another great fighter with a fantastic low round kick, who could also fight south paw, unfortunately he's not that well known.

Zambidis is good, but i'll always prefer the original, Stan Longinidis :bbb
