[Tom Stall]

size difference

[JKDkilla]

Doens't matter when the heart is ready for war. I seen smaller guys take on bigger guys and win. Pride has shown this.

[Tom Stall]

dekkers isn't that good.... he was never lumpinee stadium champion.... thats the most important accolade. He was a good fighter but i don't like how people play him up as best of all time

[Rudy-D.F.F!!!!]

WTF!??? Ninjashoes i think you need to watch more videos about him bro..really.

[Tom Stall]

i do. look at his record. he is a good fighter from a western perspective. he has a lot of losses too. i am just commenting that he hasn't captured the stadium title. everytime he went for it, he lost. i am pretty sure you don't see much of his fights.... most people here just know him from his highlight reel.

[kashmir454]

Kaman by low kick.

[Biggy1]

Kaman was far more versatile,strong and intellignet.Kaman by conditionning and low kicks.

[presa_tito]

How can you not see the size difference. Dekkers is a really small guy.

[Biggy1]

We're talking P for P buddy...Damn I said it...

[Tom Stall]

they are not the same weight.... u cannot compare pound for pound. i would say dekkers fought harder competition and lost due to his weight class but then kaman somewhat dominated his weight calss

[Biggy1]

That's what pound for pound is for.WHy did he loose due to his weight class?Kaman was also in his own weight class,aren't he?Or do you mean Dekkers weight class was more competitive?I don't think so.Pure Muay thai has competitor in everuy weight class and very good ones.Dekkers fought more Thai fighters but european and especially Dutch fighters in upper weight classes were as good as the lower classes thai fighters.That's just an extrapolation on style.They were both the creme de la creme at the time.

[Benroliver]

P4P Dekker is more powerful. Dekker has to be considered one of the best ever p4p, he simply devastates people with sheer intensity, speed, and strenght. If he and Kaman where the same size it would be a good fight, Kaman has some lethal accuracy.

[Toothbrush]

P4P I would have to go with Kaman, simply due to the 'tache he was sporting later on in his career

[hankd]

Classic!!

[thegrave]

kaman but dekkers had one hell of a hook

[thatguy32]

to bad people age past there 30s.....

[simply]

my god dekkers looks good in those fights. His counter elbow at 3:27 in the vid is awesome.

[Tom Stall]

i always thought dekkers was kinda overrated cause he was white. he threw his shots kinda wild that he would fall over if he missed

[Just_some_idiot]

Now, I'm a total kickboxing noob, so keep that in mind when I say what I'm about to say...

...I think Kaman would beat Dekkers. 1) Size difference; 2) those crosses (I think they're called) look perfect for when Dekkers swings wild; 3) I think Kaman might have better kicks; 4) I'm pretty sure that Kaman has a better defense; 5) that mustache is so awesome it might win the fight for Kaman.
