How good was namsaknoi?

[theblackknight]

He rarely gets talked about among the greatest MT fighters of all time but he held the 135lbs for 6 years, what’s your take on him?

I’m not sure if the “undefeated for 6 years” story is true. Namsaknoi is subject to a few internet legends but every time I watched him I was impressed. Have to say he is among the best I’ve ever seen. Perhaps top 10-15.

Didn’t say undefeated just held the belt for 6 years

the internet legend is that he was undefeated for 5-6 years and held the title for that time. I find that unlikely. not sure though and it doesn't matter to how good he was.

Think i asked about this before and this is what @anorak said:

he held the Lumpini title for 6 years more likely, not sure how many defences he made in that time, supposed to defend every 6 months. I doubt very much he went undefeated in 6 years, 10-11 fights is usually a lot at top stadium level

anorak is like the best source for muay thai news on the world so I'm definitely taking his word for it. looks like he held the title for 6 years then. maybe there weren't many opponents at the 135 weight class at the time?

@anorak is so deep into the Muay Thai Stadium world that no matter how often he showers or how much cologne he uses he will never eliminate the cat piss aroma emanating from his soul...

But does he go to a tanning salon though?
