Ramon was all power and heart. One of my favorites but was not p4p. As for Hoost, no heavyweight in kickboxing world I could even imagine being a p4p great. He was technically beat by a guy who moved up from cruiserweight in k-1 while he was bonified heavyweight at the time and was ko'ed by Sapp out of all people. If you are only disscussing non-thais as being p4p these guys are up there.
My pick p4p would have to be guys like Samart, Farid, Bille, Metee, Diesel noi and so on.

Hmmmm interesting points. I have to disagree with the Diesel Noi though and i'd replace him with Sagat on your list. Just due toDiesel noi being 6' 3" at 137 lbs. I mean who could beat anyone with those types of dimensions in that weight class. And Sagat also held titles in international rules and even Full Contact!! Proving that he was not just held with in the bounds of Muay Thai rules.
but back to Dekker he was basicly the Juggernaut of Muay thai. And we all know the attitude of the juggernaut. "nothing can stop the juggernaut" Just keeps getting blasted and throws bombs in the process looking to see which of the two are standing when the smoke clears.
