Defense is part of boxing. Petrosyan doesn't get hit much because he doesn't stand in front of guys and combo spam like everyone else does. So what if he pot shots, Mayweather does too.
He pot shots/never commits and almost never throws combinations...Plus he wouldn't be as good if he wasn't a southpaw.
Meh.......Getting bored of Petrosyan
Why is Andy Hug one of the worst?
^^ Gotta agree with the ones above. Remy's hands were respected by noone. Surprisingly enough he dropped quite a lot of people in the end of his career Zimmerman, Hari, Schilt. Makes you wonder...
actually Hari took a dive to avoid having his head chopped off by the flying knee that followed. replace him with Overeem who was caught clean in the K-1 part of their judo contest.
what's amazing is how far Remy went without punching. his jab was the headkick and his hook the flying knee.
Francois Botha, Ray Mercer, Arthur Williams... wait, am I doing this right?
K1 Max best: Zambidis, Roosmalen, Masato.....Kraus honorable mention
K1 Heavyweights: Bernardo and Saki
In seriousness im suprised JWP hasn't been mentioned here since people are listing previous K1 fighters. Considering he had 13 pro boxing bouts including fighting Sakio Bika! 10 wins by ko according to boxrec. He must have a legit claim to some of the best!?!
Masato is quick, but he doesn't use angles as well as Petrosyan
so... best boxers
Masato
Zambidis
Petrosyan
Kraus
Worst in K1
Kid Yamamoto, I'm judging mainly from that fight with Masato, he has power, but no punching technique.
Saki but not Hari? Hari demolished it using only the box. This is not just about technique.
Le banner, Mirko Cro Cop, Badr Hari, Ray Sefo
Worst
Remy
Hug
Sapp
You're like 4 years late on that reply, buddy...Sherdog: where one guy says Hug has the worst boxing in K-1, yet he KO'd Sefo with his hands, a guy whom another poster said has the best boxing.
