All I am saying is: Muaythai fighters are better Muaythai fighters than boxers, Kickboxers are better kickboxers than boxers, Boxers are better boxers than Thai- & Kickboxers. Washed up boxer against a Muaythai fighter: http://s47.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=266BYOCYLQDO90ML0JEDKB4RPH No need to get into the which style is the best. Any style at a high level is quality entertainment I think. I grew up watching boxing and got up really early to watch Tyson. Later on I discovered Muaythai and this is the sport I fell totally in love with. No need to disrespect any other style and I hope my posts didn't come across like that!

I wonder how you can say this....??!!!! Again I wonder but maybe it is because you don't know both sports. Boxers have DIFFERENT hand, body and foot work compared to Muaythai fighters. If you look at a Muaythai fight in the LIGHTEST division in Thailand (us westernes don't even have grown up men who is that light!) they KTFO each other like you NEVER see in boxing. Please stop comparing two different styles just because they wear gloves in both disciplines.

Here is an article posted on the MAN-Magazine webzine som months ago: http://www.man-magazine.com/MAN2.1/?showstory=183&issue=6

Well, it is prettey easy to see why the newly formed WBC Muaythai association is doing this. They need to market their new association and Tyson desperately needs the dole and both parties probably think that he can have some easy wins to make som money and to establish world wide interest for this new organisation, the sport in general and Tyson him self. I think it is all good. This is what Muaythai needs. "Yes" anohter sanctioning body - but at the end of the day there is only one serious pro Muaythai sanctioning body anyway so one more is OK and we need to commercialize the sport in order to be able to live from it.
