Yeah a lot of Thai fighters are immobile, that doesn't necessarily have to do with what is intrinsically "part of" one Art or another though. You have boxers who just throw fast combos at the gloves and don't cut angles either, but the fact remains that Muay Thai, with kicks, punches, trips/throws, and knees + elbows from clinch simply has far more weapons/ways to end a fight than Boxing.
I do think that Muay Thai weapons + Boxing footwork/punch technique is about as close to perfect striking as you can get though, with the exception of karate/TKD kicks (front kick, side kick, etc.) for diversity.I don't necessarily disagree, it's pretty hard to push kick someone who is not standing in front of you and a good boxer could absolutely frustrate a good Thai fighter by making him turn/pivot way more than usual.

I'm basically the real life version of Master Chief.
And you're posting in it? You are just looking to pick a fight. This thread got a decent discussion going and helps weed out some of the least knowledgeable posters.

I don't understand the point of this shitty thread. I'll just waste a post here for the sake of getting closer to orange belt
Sometimes I wonder if Petey has ever sent a thread to the wasteland.
Not that I mind, because I find it hilarious when I'm in a shit thread and see a Mod post and just sort of facepalm.

I try not to take this place too seriously. Unless someone needs my help on here or somebody is really fucking with somebody or the place or whatever, I don't really need to flex my e-ween powers. Just an internet forum after all
C'mon, this is the internet, if a guy claims to be 5' 1" you give him dubbs.

I once got punched in the face.
I knew this little ex-special forces eastern european guy, that was about that size. He would fuck people up, twice his size, didn't matter. The old line it's not the size of the man, but the size of the fight in the man has truth to it.
