but its a muay thai fighter unable to cope with pressure from a boxer. truth is we;ve never seen elite boxer vs elite thai fighter to prove anything

Mr perfect Ernesto Hoost couldnt even cope with the pressure of sloppy Bob Sapp. and sapp is garbage as we all know.

FYI,

Hoost Vs Sapp weren't using Thai rules so pointing them is irrelevant. Also Bob Sapp isn't a boxer.

Size difference should also be taken in account.

a pressure fighter would do just fine. those who play on the outside and job, not at all. but short powerful pressure fighters would be a handful for a thai fighter because their defense for punches isnt at that level, while their leg kicks have been taken out the equation

the unfair thing for the boxer is that his best weapons are obviously his hands. they are far more powerful and faster than a thai boxer. but he has them padded, while the thai fighter has his legs and elbows bare. not an equal set up

Being one of few people on this site who have done boxing, thai and mma boxers dnt stand much chance in a thai-boxers world, and the people that say boxers have more power is very silly, because they are both gettin shown how to punch correctly and if they use their punches correct then they will have good power. and about the guy gettin in close, that plays into a thia boxers advantage, cos thai boxers like nothing more than to grab hold of the back of your neck and knee

****** Argument, a boxer is at a disadvantage in a Mui Tai Match since he isnt trained for kicks or knee's or elbows. But some boxers have had success in K1 Like Botha, and recently there was a pure boxer fighting a kickboxer and won, cant recall the names.
