hes tall as feck, so no one will kick him in the head much in kickboxing, hes got better hands than anyone and comes from a much deeper pool of talent.
So long as he can defend low kicks well enough and can take them well enough I see him totally dominating the weak K1 athletes, although it will not be a smooth transition if he did go. See francias Botha for comparisons
MMA he would be highly vulnerable to takedowns and would have a much larger skill gap to close, but competition is poor however is he capable of developing a TDD ala JDS or his his body type too long for that is there another way to develop a strong TDD for such a tall guy he doesnt seem strong in the leg like JDS I cant see his scrambles being as good, plus he has further to get up, he is heavy though, and tall people can develop their own efficient style of TDD? It would take more time to develop MMA skill and past boxers/ strikers have not fared well at doing that.
On the feet though I think he handles stipe ngannu and co with ease, can a tall heavy long guy like him get a good enough TDD?
