OK, one thing that I should point out is that when Stan and Dennis fought it was not a case of arguing for months about what rules they would fight under. It was a given that they would fight International Rules. Dennis was fighting IR, and about 4 months prior to Stan he had even won the vacant ISKA title under leg kicks (or "Oriental Rules" as the title designation was at the time). Just like it was never an issue that Dennis and Branko would fight under watered down Muay Thai rules, or that Dennis would fight any of the several low kick bouts he fought. So saying others, be they Stan, Hoost, Cikatic etc had no balls to fight Dennis with above waist kicks is pointless as it was never an issue. So Dreadsen, that comment abot others having no balls is a moot point, and BTW if you were to pay ANYONE enough, they would fight under any rules you want.
Also worth pointing out that Stan, Branko, Hoost all started out as Full Contact fighters. In fact when Stan started fighting in 1983, low kicks were illegal in Australia anyway, and his first leg kick bout was in 1987.
Some people would be surprised at the amount of fighters, be they world renowned names or whoever, that started out fighting above the waist.
At the end of the day, Dennis was an excellent fighter, period. And this is coming from a guy who should bag Dennis :) His comments, the way he trashed opponents, the silly excuses and stories and whatnot should not blur the fact he lost only 2 fights and Dennis was no pushover under any style. You can name any big heavyweight name and chances are they've suffered a quick first round loss.
