When we talk about Thai greats we need to mention the fantastic Saensak Muangsurin who gave a real re-writing to the term "tough match making". Muangsurin fought just 20 times as a professional but was involved in 12 world title bouts, including winning world titles in his 3rd and 7th professional contests. Sadly a long career in Muay Thai and a tough career in boxing saw Muangsurin age incredibly quickly in the ring and aged just 29 he looked like a totally spent fighter as he took on a young and emerging Tommy Hearns. Hearns would later go on to a HOF career whilst Muangsurin's career faded out with just 1 win in 3 bouts before retiring in the early 1980's. It was disappointing to see Muangsurin like this, but on the other hand we suspect he got a decent pay day despite being clearly shot and we suspect suffering from some kind of serious injury.
