The Ultimate in Martial Arts

Tong po · 07-17-2003, 01:10 PM

Im fairly new to muay thai or any martial arts for that matter.

Ive been who would be the "mike tyson" of muay thai
or
the "ali" of muay thai..

any thoughts?

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!

you fail to mention what an incredibly sweet man apidej is. he is like a grandfather and still an awesome trainer!

Just more out of curiousity, What do you guys think of Ramon Dekker? could he be one of the best non-thais?

dbok1 · 07-26-2003, 09:48 AM

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.

I would have to agree......I forget this nickname but he was like a bulldog in the ring....he wasn't too good at the clinch and knee attacks but man did he have a lot of power in those kicks and punches....awesome!!!!
