Wilder is a horrible example who got exposed quite fast as soon as he had his first high level opponent. But I agree with your asessment of LeBanner. He wouldnt have even made top50. K1 is too specific to make that transition successful we have seen that a lot. The best K1 fighters all had a style that would not transfer at all into boxing but guaranteed succeess in K1. Its just two very different sports.
Its sad watching him now. I saw him several years ago were he contemplated retirement and if you heard him it was time. This wont end well for his health but he really is a true warrior to the core. Its a generation of fighters we wont get again.
