Fury would beat Kongo under Kickboxing rules.

Good points made.

Talent pool is too deep in boxing. Therefore the skill level is quite a bit higher. I just don't see it in k1. I'm not impressed. I think a lot of top 20 boxer wouldhave very good success
Sapp and Choi with hardly any combat sport training beat top fighters there. Sefo, Mo and Hunt were lower-level Boxers who were successful in K-1. It's not about discrediting it's just what it is, I agree with you.

Even top kickboxers in their prime who try out boxing usually suck. Look at Mark Hunt for example. The kickboxers who have good boxing records usually just fought cans.


I cant think of one case where a top kickboxer has gone over and fought top guys under boxing rules and done well.
Kyotaro got koed by Haumono a former Rugby player who was ranked over a 100 in Boxing.

There is a reason why all these seniors from the golden age were/are competitive while near 40.

The Klits, Haye, Pulev, Arreola and Price would have won the GP with no cross training. Charr would be a top HW Kickboxer and he kinda sucks.
I think Arreola, Pulev, Haye, Price, Vitali and Wladimir could win a K-1 GP with no cross-training. But I'd be sure they'd win with minimal cross-training.

Who the hell gives about what other broads think about another broad? I didn't even know that this site had unspoken groups by broads. What kind of shit is that?

Fury has a 84" reach or something so Kongo will probably be in Fury's range when throwing kicks too

If your gonna claim these guys as lower level boxers who were successful in k1 then il claim the klitschkos as low level kickboxers who were successful in boxing.
botha had a serious crack at k1 the only kickboxer who crossed from k1 and had a proper crack was skelton, similar age to botha and arguably more successful too.
