  1. According to Thai legend and history, the greatest Muay Thai boxer that ever existed was Nai Khanom Tom. During the 18th century, he and several other Thai residents were captured by the Burmese and taken to the capital city of Rangoon. King Mangra of the Burmese decided to hold a tournament to see how Muay Thai would compare to its Burmese counterpart Lethwei. Nai Khanom Tom was selected to fight against the Burmese champion, which he defeated effortlessly.

    A judge had ruled the knockout invalid because Nai Khanom Tom preformed a Wai-Khru (pre-fight ritual) that perplexed and distracted the Burmese fighter. The Burmese king decided to settle the problem by challenging Nai Khanom Tom to fight nine other fighters consecutively  to prove himself and earn his freedom. He agreed and fought them all, working his way through each fighter, until finally none stood in his way -- an extraordinary feat during a time when boxing matches were lethal. King Mangra was so impressed that he remarked, “Every part of the Thai is blessed with venom.”

    His spectacular feat is celebrated throughout the kingdom every March 17th as “Boxer’s Day” or “National Muay Thai Day” in his honor and that of Muay Thai’s.


  2. I would have to go with Semmy Schilt, K-1 champion 3x in a row, and beat Hoobst several times

  3. Cung Le has been an undefeated kickboxer for 14 years, he is at the top of my list.

  4. I'd go with Cung Le on this one. The guy is an awesome kickfighter.
