Thailand's 10 Most Legendary Muay Thai Fighters.
The national sport of Thailand, Muay Thai is a fierce combat sport known as the “art of eight limbs”, because of its use of the fists, elbows, knees, and shins.
Whilst the sport has spread and become popular around the world, some of its fiercest fighters have been from Thailand.
In this video, we talk about who are the best Muay Thai fighters to come out of Thailand.
Make sure you watch until the end of the video for who I think is the best Muay Thai fighter that ever existed.
Please excuse my pronunciation of the Thai names.
In no particular order:
1. Samart Payakaroon.
A Muay Thai legend, Samart’s prowess in the ring saw him win 4 Lumpinee belts as well as becoming a WBC world boxing champion.
Along with his skill in boxing, his masterful use of the side teep kick in attack and defence, was key in seeing him achieve success, as it started attacks and ensured his opponents couldn’t get close enough to hurt him.
Known as the “Muhammad Ali” of Muay Thai, many fighters both past and present will say Samart is possibly the greatest to step inside the Muay Thai ring.
2. Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn.
A tall, gangly Muay Thai fighter, Dieselnoi’s unusual height for boxing became one of his greatest strengths, as it allowed him to perform devastating strikes with his knees that were feared throughout the sport.
During the mid-1980s, he took on all comers at Lumpinee Stadium, including Samart and was never defeated.
Whilst he faced stiff competition to be the greatest Muay Thai fighter of all time, he’s certainly considered one of the best muay khao, or knee fighters, in the sport’s history.
3. Saenchai.
A modern-day warrior, Saenchai is very much a living legend of the sport.
He is arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sports history!
His willingness to move up in weight classes to find worthy opponents deserves a lot of merit, often fighting opponents as much as 15 pounds heavier.
He was a fighter blessed with a telepathic sense of what his opponent was going do next.
He won the Lumpinee title in four different weight classes, and even invented his own move, the cartwheel kick, which is said to be inspired by the sport sepak takraw.
4. Tongchai Tor Silachai.
The only fighter ever to knock out Saenchai, Tongchai’s skills in the ring are revered by many.
As well as winning the Lumpinee title five times, he was also crowned boxer of the year three times by Thai sportswriters, a prestigious award of recognition by those intrenched in Muay Thai circles.
A run-in with the police for selling drugs in 2008 may have marred his reputation, but since then he’s been working for various gyms as a trainer, imparting his wide-ranging skills and knowledge onto the next generation.
5. Sagat Petchyindee.
Another Muay Thai fighter with an aptitude for boxing, Sagat was well known for his high ring IQ and his extremely powerful punches and kicks that were often impossible to defend against.
A former Lumpinee and world champion, he defeated ultra-talented Dieselnoi twice and was immortalised as the inspiration for the character Sagat in the universally popular Street Fighter video game.
Like Tongchai, today he spends his time working as a trainer, with his well-earned reputation no doubt inspiring his young charges.
