"That's a wild top 5" - ChatGPT's pound-for-pound best Muay Thai fighters feature five ONE world champions
ChatGPT forwarded the most wild answer for the top five ONE Muay Thai world champions this week, and it's not what you expect.
As the main photo above suggests, ONE world champions like Rodtang and Jonathan Haggerty have obviously made it into the top 5. But as ONE Championship revealed on their Instagram page, the list created by ChatGPT is remarkable.
Check out the image below:
At No. 5, we have ONE strawweight Muay Thai world champion Prajanchai PK Saenchai. The Thai superstar has to be on this list after etching his name in the history books as an unprecedented two-sport world champion this past month. He captured the ONE strawweight kickboxing world title from former divisional king Jonathan Di Bella after five rounds of non-stop action at ONE Friday Fights 68.
At No. 4, ChatGPT chose ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Rodtang Jitmuangnon, which comes as a surprise for many die-hard fans. 'The Iron Man' has compiled over 250 wins in his young career and has single-handedly dominated the flyweight division with brutal force and strength. Indeed, Rodtang is one of the best pound-for-pound strikers of his generation.
Sitting at No. 3 is ONE two-sport world champion Jonathan Haggerty. The Muay Thai and kickboxing superstar has one of the most inspiring comeback stories in the history of ONE Championship. Losing twice to Rodtang almost ended his career, but he never stopped grinding. Now, he's a menacing bantamweight with two world titles to boot. Next on his hit list is Superlek Kiatmoo9. They are set to collide on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver.
And on that note, we've reached the No. 2, spot, with ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 near the forefront. 'The Kicking Machine' has also had a breakthrough year in defeating the former undefeatables, Rodtang Jitmuagnon in a catchweight Muay Thai bout and Japanese superstar Takeru Segawa in defense of his kickboxing world title. Now, he's gunning for two-division supremacy as he moves up a weight class to face Jonathan Haggerty in America.
At No. 1, we have ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai. The Thai superstar started off as a young prodigy before signing with ONE Championship. Tawanchai had early success as a former bantamweight, but it's at featherweight that he became the most dangerous. Tawanchai is notoriously known for his brutal walk-off KOs, showing a stoicism never seen before after breaking his rivals' limbs. His most memorable victory was an upset against former long-reigning world champion Petchmorakot Petchyindee in 2022.
ONE Championship fans react to ChatGPT's Top 5 Pound-for-Pound Muay Thai Fighters in ONE
A small majority of fight fans agree with ChatGPT's Top 5 greatest Muay Thai Fighters, especially Tawanchai at No. 1.
However, some would have arranged a couple of names differently, but at the end of the day, there's no denying the impact these champions have had on the growth of Muay Thai.
