Is it too early to say Rico Verhoeven is the GOAT HW Kickboxer

Would like to share my HL here. It shows all K1 finals and you can see that Aerts has lived through all those years.

is it too early for that?

Ernesto Hoost says fucking hell yes it's to early and won't be happening

I have always liked how in kickboxing you can have a bad night, get totally destroyed in your prime, but people just know that it happens and accept it. Polar opposite of boxing.

Unfortunately, it may simply be because there's only a faction of the money going to kickboxing that there is to higher level boxing and it is ultimately a brotherhood/cult type of sport first and foremost.

As to who the GOAT kickboxer, I also concur Semmy Schilt is just too hard to top. Maybe his lack of recognition is part because he simply didn't have enough personality to stay connected to fans consistently.

I feel like Verhoeven's finish rate will count against him in future GOAT discussions.
