Who is the best muay thai fighter of all time? This is a question that many fans have asked and that is difficult to answer. Choosing the so-called GOAT (‘Greatest of all time’) is a very complex and subjective task, but if that number is extended to two athletes, two names immediately come to mind: Samart Payakaroon y Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn. And Spain is in luck, since it will have both simultaneously in a seminar promoted by Bang Rajan Events to be held on saturday october 15 this year in Madrid.
«No matter how many generations of Messis and Cristianos come out, Maradona and Pelé will always be at the forefront, no matter how much the engines evolve, no one will forget Ayrton Senna or Michael Schumacher and, if for example we mention boxing, no one more emblematic than the great Muhammad Ali.
Despite the constant renewal of generations, Samart Payakaroon and Dieselnoi Chor Thanasukarn, along with Pudpadnoi, will always be immovable in the hearts of the people, “he explains to ABC Carlos Sanchezdirector of Bang Rajan.
To choose who is the number one in the entire history of Muay Thai, it would be practical to go back to the eternal football debate of who was better Maradona or Pelé. There will be innumerable points of view, each defending their favorite with passion and arguments, but it would be difficult to reach an agreement. In muay thai, that number one will always be shared by Samart and Dieselnoi who, in addition, enjoy a close friendship far from egos and quarrels for being the best and, in fact, they clashed with each other on occasion inside the quadrilateral.
«Choose any sport, the one you like the most, think of the two best in history worldwide, not today, but in all history and worldwide. Ready? Now I ask you, are they alive and do you see yourself sharing a training session with them? ”, asks Carlos Sánchez to account for the magnitude of the event. “Having them together is a priceless privilege in the life of any muay thai practitioner or fan. It is something unheard of, unique, priceless, historical and unrepeatable, something that excites me since above them there is no more, you do not look up there is no more, “defends the director of Bang Rajan.
Samart and Dieselnoi marked a before and after in history for their fighting style. They were very different from each other, but both left their mark. While Samart was an elegant fighter, with an intelligence in combat to move out of the ordinary, pure cunning, absolute control and perfect technique, Dieselnoi was a destroyer, a very aggressive fighter, deadly with his knees and invincible in close combat. . Dieselnoi has been the most feared in history, nobody wanted to face him, a situation that even led him to an early retirement due to lack of rivals. Living history of muay thai, legends of the ancient Kingdom of Siam.
The joint seminar will take place in the Spanish capital, in a location yet to be revealed. But, in addition, a second date is planned in Portugal in collaboration with Dina Pedro. «We will have the presence of the teacher Mario Vega del Rosario, with muaythai figures such as Eva María Naranjo, Luis Lloret, Jesús Mancheño and Arturo Ayala, among many others, and the presence of the French artist Laurene Fernandez with all her magic is also confirmed and talent”, says Carlos Sánchez.
And there is one more surprise: «I will bring the best of the history of muay thai to honor my Grand Master Arjan Pratín Sukchamroen. He taught me to love and respect this, I want to thank him for everything he did for me. He is already 90 years old and I swear to you that he may or may not be physically present at the ceremony, I will let him know and feel it, this is my tribute, dear Arjan, this is what I learned to do and this day will be the greatest in this called Bang Rajan Events it will be for you”, concludes the organizer.
