who is the p4p best k-1 fighter right now?

i don't know jack shit about k-1.

enlighten me.

 Schilt. He's not exciting but he's got great fundamentals and knows how to use his attributes.

how about the smaller guys? any names?

Genious - Giorgio Petrosyan won the K-1 MAX GP last year.  Andy Souwer, Albert Kraus, Artur Kyshenko, and Buakaw Por-Pramuk all hover around the top 5.  

Masato is definitely up there as well, but he retired after the NYE show this past year. 


out of the all the guys you just mentioned (and the heavyweights listed above), who has the best hands (ie western boxing skills) ?

 Masato has great hands for a kickboxer!

if you train any kind of Muay Thai/kickboxing/ boxing, K1 and K1 Max is amazing! Especially K1 Max. Inspiring!

K-1 MAX guys are so good, it's literally a crap shoot to pick a best p4p amongst them.

Maybe the argument could be for Petrosyan at the moment?
