Great tournament.
Rico Verhoeven.
Tariq Osaro.
Levi Rigters.
Uku Jürjendal.
Bahram Rajabzadeh.
Nabil Khachab.
Benjamin Adegbuyi.
Sofian Laïdouni.

All great kickboxers.

The tournament just finished and once again, the 10 year undefeated heavyweight kickboxer Rico Verhoeven won all of his fights and won this tournament.

Rico Verhoeven is essentially the Joe Louis of kickboxing, he's undefeated for such an uncredible long period of time now, despite it's kickboxing, which is much harder to predict then boxing, especially in heavyweight.

Would Rico be considered the best ever at kick-boxing? At heavyweight surely?

I notice he had one pro boxing bout, albeit against a guy that never won a pro fight (although he had previously boxed agaisnt Shades of Ali Hughie Fury… https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/455753)

Not sure about ever, but he's sure one of the best. He's not a KO artist somehow, he's more like a stamina guy who takes his opponents to the later stages and then KO's, or simply wins on points without taking much risk.
