Confuses the hell out of me re best title to hold. Best fighters heavyweight wise Are all in glory which is the new k 1. Probably the best fighter I have seen who could of fought benn and.eubanks.was Ramon diamond Dekker's he was a machine recently passed away quite young.

The Master Sken pupil was an excellent muay Thai fighter before switching codes

Kickboxing for me I don't count the points and semi contact, to be a world champion in full contact is credible, although there is a very good fighter from a points background called Michael venom page who is massive in mma, ronnie clark had a good career in kb winning scottish , celtic, british, European and world titles in both amateur and professional terms, not many follow correct progression routes, ronnie fought world titles in 3 weights above, and alwas foight the best, although kb is no where near the level of boxing it is a lot easier on the eye on domestic scene, most boxing shows Iv stteneded my eyes are bleeding and that boring I have no battery on phone at end of the night, I guess it's all about certain shows and orgs have different procedures, quigg etc all turned over boxing early, one thing about the fighters fr backgroud is there is very good movement and ring craft although tend to not have great angles on there shots .

Fella, bit of perspective needed there I think. Page has some promise, but he's not even made it into the ranks of UFC yet and is plying his trade in Bellator - these guys only have him ranked 14th in the UK!

At the moment, he's not even close to being "massive".

Oliver Harrison and Humphrey Harrison were both Muay Thai fighters under Master Sken before becoming pro boxers. I can remember chatting to Carl Thompson when he was working the door at The Playpen nightclub in Manchester, he must have been 19 or 20 back then and was a well known Muay Thai fighter

[orbtastic]

I know when he first turned pro, he'd wear the Thai shorts and obviously fought at some level but did he win much?

I'm pretty sure he held some version of a world title, he's one tough fella for sure
