Good ole Ernesto. Lets just put it this way if Mr. Hoost would literally just jump in with lets say a Lamont Brewster right now he might not make it out of the 1st rd. or endure a one sided @ss beating for the duration of a boxing match.

There are Muay Thai fighters who have good hands against other Muay Thai fighters. A good example of this is that McDonald guy. Now if McDonald would've concentrated on boxing early in his youth then he may have had the potential to take it all the way to World Champion material, but as far as just jumping from a Muay Thai ring right into a boxing ring against a World Champ or a solid contender I don't think these kickboxers would fare that well, there have been others who made that sudden jump in the past and didn't get too far.

Most of the boxers from Thailand are converted kickboxers. I'd say toughness, heart, and skills go a long way towards winning title fights. Cliff Thomas was a kickboxer who could have gone a long way in boxing, but waited until he was 38 to fight his first boxing match. Now, although he won something like 68 tough kickboxing matches and was at least a 4X champion, nobody has ever heard of him. But he was a good friend of Troy Dorsey, who I sparred with when he was a kickboxing titleholder and 2 weeks before he won his world boxing championship, making him the first champ with simultaneous titles in both boxing and kickboxing. Also, famed kickboxer Benny Urquidez was a gym-mate of Bobby Chacon. Either one could have done very well in either sport. Staying in either sport for a long time tends to make it hard to adjust, say, to jabbing with a foot rather than a fist. The timing becomes instinctive and is difficult to change.
