    honourable mentions: branko cikatic,ernesto hoost,benny urquidez,dennis alexio,peter aerts,alexey ignashov,john wayne parr,mirko crocop,bill wallace,danny bille,remy bonjasky....

    FOOTNOTE: and finally the man who could have gone on to be THE greatest ever peter smit (a life tragically cut short)! i recommend everybody to check out the story and career of peter its extremely heartrending but what a great fighter,god only knows how great a fighter he could have been!! peter aerts has his name stitched into his shorts.a tribute to peter please check it out,thanks.

    I would go for Dekkers but it is pretty much a travesty you left this man out:

    Hoost and Aerts are NOT "honorable" mentions.

    No Duke Rufus? Seriously, I have no idea, I don't watch that much kickboxing. But that's something I've overheard. And he's from Wisconsin.

    I don't know. What about Rick Roufus? He beat Kaman, Theriault, and Hoost in their first fight.

    completely overlooked the roufus brothers,apologies! i rate hoost highly in fact i may start a aerts v hoost thread! h2h its aerts,record wise hoost. simply because prime for prime they met and aerts shut him out in a fairly dominant 5 rounder,just my opinion its all subjective.

    Shut him out? Any fight I have seen between them has been compeititive, they fought like or 5 times and Ernesto had the edge.

    disagree,im talking prime! the 06 fight was a close one but both past there peak! the 5 rounder in 98 was competitive but a fairly dominant aerts victory its on youtube! the 95 fight was competitive but a clear aerts win,the 93 fight in favour of hoost.
