personally i like Coban Lookchaomaesaitong. I trained with him and my fighting style is close to his although i am not a southpaw.

mark hunt

JLB has always been my favorite. I love his style. He is willing to take a punch to give one and when he lands its fucking trouble. He's a fucking warrior and always comes for war.

...Burt Reynolds

crocop
icey

My favorite was Andy Hug 4sho....awesome kicks, good punches and big heart!

Cro Cop

CroCop his style is aggressive but at the same time he doesn't come at you like a wildman. He's the perfect mixture of speed and power, his accuracy is deadon and he can hurt with any limb.

Ruslan Karaev, he has good offense (needs to toughen up his chin a bit though) he is a bad ass.

wanderlei silva.

aggressive, fearless, smart, KO power, and intimidating.

Bas Rutten

wanderlei silva.

aggressive, fearless, smart, KO power, and intimidating.

we are not talking about K-1 fighters???

CC has the best combo of TD defense and stand-up. Otherwise A. Silva's stand-up is prettty gnarly. I was impressed with Diabate too before he got hit face flattened. He looks like Kareem Abdul Jabar in there. HAHA!

Mirko Cro Cop, Wanderlei Silva, or Ryan Gracie. they are the best, the brazilians are crazy but fun to watch

this turned into an mma strikers list :)

hug and hoost are badass themselves

i like Gomi,Aleks,and Arlovski. Hoost is insane Fedor was training with him i heard

yeh hoost is something out of this world...
ive seen some andu hug fights that dude was insaneeeeeee
but id have to say crocop cuz i have seen a lot of his fights. his left high kick says it all..
also remy bojansky when he brings his flying knee game is awesome to watch too very unpredictable

BUAKAW!!!!, Hoost, Aerts, Crocop, JLB!!

CroCop. His left high kick should be banned by the United Nations Security Council.

K1 - Aerts
Pride - Cro Cop/Igor Vovchanchyn

I see a lot of posts for Cro Cop, who is a stud, but he left K-1 for MMA for a reason. He knew he would never rise above the top guys at that time in K-1. My all-time fave is Hoost, but my right now fave is Ruslan Karaev. He is not the best fighter in K-1 but he will give you a hell of a show.

The funnest to watch is Krazy Horse.. But yeah, I like all the guys everyone else does, CroCop, JLB, Shogun, Anderson

Maurice Smith. HANDS DOWN. BEST KICKBOXER EVER. I like Ernesto Hoost, Peter Aerts, Mike McDonald, Mark Hunt. I also like Mirko BUT I wouldn't call him a stand-up fighter . . . he is an MMA guy. So is Maurice but in his era he was undisputably the BEST, he held EVERY belt one could hold, and was a very well recieved kickboxer before his UFC days.

nyet!

;270465']nyet!

nyet?!?! I think not comrade!

I really like seeing that tyson style of close quarters, short hooks from guys like zambidis and manhoef but then I also like that straight up muay thai style of anderson silva and buakaw in his earlier k1 fights. I guess it depends on what mood I'm in.

bukaw por puramuk

Ramon Dekkers, The Turbine from hell.

Buakaw Por Pramuk

Hunt baby!!

BAs Rutten

JLB (for his power), Buakaw (speed, relentless attack), Hoost (class in and out of the ring) and Hunt (being able to take a shot from anyone).

kickboxing: andy hug for his fancy kicks (better than crocops)
mma: igor vovchanchyn (for his crazy punching power and ability to maul big guys)

bojansky cuz if i was in the street i would think hell i would kick this guys ass but he really has some of the bets knees and kicks in k1 :( then i end up in hospital

mr.perfect

wand, buakaw, zambidis, cc, kid, hoost, gomi.

Buakaw... bone-crushing kicks and powerful punches add to the mix a good sense of ring generalship and the ability to strike at range or to mix it up inside the clinch. His performances are quite dominant.

Buakaw for me, his lightning fast kicks and improving hands are always exciting to see.

Zambidis, and Bua.

Ramon Dekker

...and Ray Sefo

i like to watch lawler, yeah i know there are better standup fighters. i just enjoy watching robbie as they say 'swing for the fences'. hoost is the best no doubt.

I'm Going Ernesto Hoost, and KID.

Bas Rutten


I forgot to say why... LIVER SHOT!

also Melvin Manhoef, is pretty badass.

Crocop or Wanderlei

Hunt got kicked in the face by JLB once and he didnt even flinch...he is simply incredible

anderson
if you need me to tell you won't get it

Hunt got kicked in the face by JLB once and he didnt even flinch...he is simply incredible

he also almost got KO'd by Lebanner once, craziest fight ever, never seen Hunt look so rocked

Peter Aerts! Aerts had a high kick of doom. I would like to say Mirko, but I consider him more of an MMA guy now, not just pure stand up.

Bas! Basic Combos, classic style!

Peter Aerts. I like his brutal lowkicks to set up high kicks

i love mark hunt because of his power punches and ability of taking many punches with a smile on his face

andrei

andrei

^^on andrei's nuts.

hahahah i wanted to see what you would say lol. if i'm an andrei nuthugger.
you're a wandy what???

nuthugger.

but i got a good reason.

andrei arlovski has dissapeased recently.

Gotta love Mark Hunt...

;336028']nuthugger.

but i got a good reason.

andrei arlovski has dissapeased recently.

right

in all fairness. andrei and wandy are not that great in terms of pure standup fighter

Bas Rutten or Cro Cop.

Buakaw Por Pramuk.

mark hunt,liddel prime tyson.

cro cop and chuck. you know they are going to dilever the killer punch or kick

Crocop, Wanderlei, Fedor, Zambidis, Aerts, and JLB
all of them are some of my favorites.
all time favorite: CC- probably the most technical, best footwork, speed, and the most devastating lhk ive ever seen
