Samart Payakaroon: incredible hands, incredible teep. The only Lumpinee champion in history to also win the WBC belt in boxing. Most available footage only shows Samart at the end of his career when he was unmotivated and had questionable cardio but his brilliance was still obvious.




Oley Kiatoneway: probably the best footwork of them all. The way he moved around in the ring and leaned away from kicks was magical. Not as skilled with his hands as Samart (nobody was) but still good enough to win and defend the Lumpinee title.

Somrak Khamsing: the best of both worlds. Ranked #1 at the Lumpinee and Rajadamnern stadiums but could never fight for the title because he was too good. Ventured into boxing and became an Olympics gold medalist. No noticable weaknesses.
