Longinidis or Kaman - Harder Low Kicks

When it comes to hard low/leg kicks, two guys that usually come up are Stan "The Man" Longinidis, and Rob Kaman. Who was the harder low kicker? I personally think that Longinidis was the harder low kicker. His fight with my favorite Kickboxer (Dennis Alexio), shows the strength of his low kicks.

Longidis also fought more fighters with little or no experience of low kicks, am I right? Kaman was also a bit lighter. It's hard to measure who got the hardest low kicks of them both, I guess you'll have to ask someone who's been on the receiving end of both of them

Kaman was definitely better at using his lowkicks (thus the name "Mr Lowkick"), but as far as pure power of the leg kick I don't know

Kaman maybe wasn't the most powerful kicker (although they must have been somewhat powerful at least ;) ), but he certainly had great timing and precision.

Just like Hoost, he was known for aiming at the same spot over and over again. That precision takes you down eventually.
