In European Muay Thai, Ernesto Hoost is the "Mike Tyson". Hoost is extremely precise and powerful with his punches and his kicks.

One of the Greatest Thai boxers to EVER live and he is still the head trainer at Fairtex Thailand ( I had the pleasure of training with him) is:
Apedij Sit-Hirun He use to break people's arms or actually whatever his kick landed his oppenets bones would break, thats how hard his kick was. I think don't hold me to this but I believe he was undefeated in over 300fights and has won all 7 different championship belts in thailand. I think that makes for a legend!

Ramon Decker I would have to say is one of the best dutch thai figter, he is very well respected by the thai people not to mentioned a great fighter. I believe he has over 200 fights.

I think Ramon Dekker was the best Non-Thai figther (one of my fav fighters) . He never turned down a fight - thats what got him a lot of respect. He's beaten some of the best Thai champions and taken some serious beatings himself in his career (like when he fought Sakmongkol).
I doubt his name will ever be forgotten in the world of Muay Thai.
