I didn't stick around with it long, but muay thai was the first martial arts that I trained when I was like fairly young, so it has a special place in my heart, but I don't see why people hate on Petrosyan when it comes to muay thai.
Petrosyan arguablly went head to head and held more than his own against prime buakaw. I don't know how his clinch game looks, but a lot of times in Muay thai you can win against a lot of fighters without having a good clinch game as long as you can avoid it and nullify the other guy's attacks.
I don't really see why people automatically thinks if you put Petro in a muay thai fight he will struggle automatically
I am aware people also talk shit on Buakaw's muay thai accomplishments, and in turn his muay thai skills in comparison to all time greats, but Buakaw was pretty damn good whether you like it or not.
