Who is the GOAT of Kickboxing

See and those are the factors you got to put in play when talking about GOAT. It's not just how many GP's you've won. Aerts just has so many arguments going for him.

He just has done so well for himself despite being so slow and telegraphed.
 
Peter was the best kickboxer ever imho. Nobody could even touch him.
He got made of robbery or just plain dirty stuff even before fights .
Ask the Thais that fought him , none were happy and not because they didn't won .
They were unhappy because of the pre-fight change and ridiculous judging .
 
Peter was the best kickboxer ever imho. Nobody could even touch him.
He was defeated in France in twelve rounds by Richard Sylla. Sylla had a similar style to Peter's, in my opinion with better combos.

To a better comprehension,Peter Aerts is for kickboxing what Bernard Hopkins Was for modern Boxing and Dan Henderson was for MMA

Good answer. Aerts was a killer. But wow, those times were full of killers - Hug, Hoost, Bonjasky, Masato, Bukauw.
 
You know Peter Aerts and Esnesto Hoost respect the hands of forrest griffin.
 
Ramone Dekkers and Petrosyan maybe Rob Kaman, or Hoost is up there too.

Zambidis, Dekkers or Masato were my favorites to watch though.
