Who is the most famous "muay thai" fighter ever?

Pretty ironic coming from you. You've made multiple attempts to claim Dekkers and JWP as ATGs.

dont get butthurt bro were cool!!!

JWP ATG no, Dekkers yes! lol

It was just funny cause when I saw the thread and then you open it and you listed all MMA fighters, not Muay Thai fighters, like wtf.

but thats why you put the "quotes". Probably shoulda labeled it MMA fighters with best muay thai skill..........I would say Anderson Silva

He's bent because Thai's don't get the recognition they deserve, which is true, but equating these guys to MT guys to further that point is quite a stretch.

It's more than that. People don't even know what muay thai is. So, of course Anderson Silva, Ernesto Hoost and Anthony Hardonk are muay thai badasses and living legends. Just ask Joe Rogan.

In order for Thais to even get any credit. You would first have to get over the hurdle of actually being able to identify real muay thai and muay thai fighters. Which most people cannot.

and be able to pronounce their name and tell them apart.

Kickboxing isn't popular anywhere. Buakaw enjoys some degree of celebrity in his own country and no where else.

He's pretty big in Japan and China though...

Zambidis is pretty big in Greece, and the same goes for Le Banner in France...
KB is popular in countries who had a big name in K1.
