i train in both muay thai and western boxing
a thai boxer should be able to kick a boxers ass in fight because he has so many more weapons to chose from. boxers are only taught to defend themselves from the waist up and only punch. the best thing is to train in both- use the thai stance when u want to kick and a boxing stance when u want to box. its hard to throw an effective punch with a good amount of power from a thai stance.
boxers have far better punching skills than any other martial arts though and can still beat the hell out of the majority of karate and tkd guys
