Greatest Muay Thai fighters ever?

[TonyK]

What in your opinion is the true top 10-15 of MT? What are some of the honorable mentions? Probably will include people like Dieselnoi, Saenchai, Dekkers and Buakaw, but generally, what is your opinion?

Jomhod kiatadisak !!! incredible style I love it. if there would be any belt system in MT he would have something like a black belt 7th degree.. He knows every wicked trick muay thai offers.

Haha, prepare to be flamed.

Way to start another thread to debate the legacy of Dekkers and Buakaw.

What is the general opinion on Buakaw and dekkers among knowledgeable MT fans?

I'm just a casual fan, so i don't know much about the history and inner workings of the sport, but I love learning about this stuff.

Could you link me to some discussions maybe?


Thanks!

Good list but I don't think Dekkers deserves to be on there.

 

[CPH]

Samart
Namsaknoi

Exactly those two for me as well.

Buakaw and Dekkers never won a Lumpinee or Rajadamnern title , while others are multiple title holders.

Boran

 

[Asathor]

Samart
Namsaknoi

I don't understand why Namsaknoy doesn't become much love. Buakaow is on nearly every top ten list but never had as much succes in MT as Namsaknoy.

 

[Cocakillbana]

Chamuekpet Hapalang and Kaensak Sor Ploenjit both have to be up there.

Chamuekpet won 9 titles between Lumpini and Rajadamnern, and Kaensak won fighter of the year in 2 consecutive years in the golden era.
