Overall i would have to say Bas Rutten without a doubt. Jerrel Venetian and Ernesto Hoost are great fighters too.

I'm not familiar with a lot of the non heavyweight Dutch kickboxers. But, is or was Ramon Dekker considerd really good?

Also, Rob Kaman? I've heard Bas tell some great stories about how that guy could fight.


Current MMA:
1)Alistair Overeem (this kid keeps getting better and better)
2)Gilbert Yvel (Always exciting to watch)

Past MMA:
1) Bas Rutten (in my eyes, the best fighter to ever step into any kind of MMA/Pancrase fight. And, you could make the argument that he is the best martial artist in the world. He knows everything)

K-1: The Man, The Myth, The Legend......Ernesto Hoost. I love this guy.

Aerts too.......Unbelievable skills in his prime......his time left is dwindling

The Phenom:
How can you forget Nordin Ben Sallah as a great dutch boxer? He has some very good skills!

Tanner:
Rob Kaman and Ramon Dekkers are dutch legends indeed, very skilled thaiboxers! Kaman beat Ignashov in his last fight.

If we talk about current MMA fighters:
- Allistair Overeem
- Rodney Faverus
- Sem Schilt
- Bas Rutten (in the past)

If we talk about Muay Thai fighters:
- Badr Hari is a huge upcomming talent
- Ernesto Hoost ofcourse, best thai boxer to ever live
- Jerrel Venetiaan
- Joeri Mes
- Stepjan Veselic
- Ramon Dekkers (past)
- Rob Kaman (past)

Yeah you're definately right about Nordin BenSalah, he's got great skills

However because I've heard that he wanted to quit boxing and return to muay thai, I didn't mention him
