I think that is debatable. Some pka guys had much better boxing. Benny beat the japanese kickboxers, Cunningham beat sakad fair and square the first time, and Don Wilson knocked out Branco Cikaric, who knocked out ernesto hoost twice. Its about fighters, not styles.
Didn't you notice his striking style was completely different at 170? At 185 he went back to his karate roots and started kicking ass. He is not the same fighter.
I believe I have seen Whittaker do it aswell. Its a traditional martial arts thing in karate and muay thai, as opposed to dutch kickboxing which does the opposite.
