Default Boxing vs. kyokushin or muay thai

Fujiyama (kyokushin) vs. Botha (boxing) in K-1.

Fujiyama is a K-1 regular and dropped Botha with a kick to the head.

Botha (boxing) vs. Le Banner (kickboxing)

Botha, learning from his experience was able to keep Le Banner in a tight boxing match and rock him silly.

Ray Mercer (boxing) vs. Le Banner (i think??)(kickboxing)

Le Banner drops mercer with a head kick.

Botha vs. Abidi (kickboxing)

Part 1 - Botha clearly dominates, blasts Abidi and sends him to the mat, but gets dq'd for hitting abidi on the ground. Botha would have won by KO or TKO in rd 1 if they discounted the ground hook.

Part 2 - Abidi does his homework and puts up better defense against Botha, peppers him with some slamming thigh kicks and sends him to the mat with a kick to the head.

There's more...

but its pretty even. Most of the boxing vs. kickboxing/muaythai/kyokushin fights are usually between former pro-boxers and K-1's top.

Will we ever see a fight between a current boxing champ vs a rajadamnern champ? Probably not because fights are as much about economics as they are about proving ground...
