Greatest Muay Thai fighters ever?

Only trick he didn't know was buakaw!

But that was well past his prime.

If you really want to talk about the best of the best from all thousands of stadium
champions and hundreds of those who have reached top of muay thai game....
And then you take in the level of competition in each era and how muay thai
developed over time...

Oh well, it will probably be the king of each era,

Put Lorlek, cleaned out any division he fought in, the only great fighter he didn't
fight in his era is Pudpardnoi Worawut because they have the same manager.
His style was basically moved around the ring and being unhittable, never knocked
down in the fight. Retired and returned no longer cut weight and still won fights.
Crafty, lots of techniques and extremely calm. He is probably an abomination
to just bleed fans though because he didn't finish fight except that ko against
Hikari.



He was famously quoted after the question "Is Saensak (3 wins to world boxing
champion) the hardest puncher you have faced" that "I don't know he never hit me"
Put Lorlet - Saensak Muangsurin 3-1

Samart Payakaroon, well, cleaned out any division he fought in, he has an amazing
ring "vision", he saw every movement of opponents, and landed any shot he wants.
What is really scary about him is that, he adjust to each opponent he fought
and made them look really bad. Like his fight against Samransak who
was one of the best punchers in his era only to get tooled so bad.



And he also beat you any way he wants especially if you pissed him off, most
famously when Chareontong teep him in the face, and he uncharacteristically
turned into brutal puncher.



He also won world boxing title. Sadly, he was lazy thanks to his talents, and was busy
filming films, singing in the concert, modeling. So you got fights when he was totally
owning the guy like Wanjannoi's fight only to gas and got blasted.

Of course there are still so many fighters who might very well be better than these
two, Apidej, Dieselnoi, Chamuakpetch,

Might very well mention Vicharnnoi who was named as the "immortal" here
he basically faced every one you name it Put Lorlek, Saensak Muangsurin,
Pudpardnoi, Dieselnoi, Samart and beat all on the lists except Samart when he was ancient.
