อภิเดช ศิษย์หิรัญ · aphidet sit hiran
Held seven Thai titles at once. It is the left leg people talk about.
What it is
A fighter of the 1960s, named as the standard by which a muay thai kick is measured, and later a trainer at Fairtex.
The long version
Tradition holds — he held seven Thai titles simultaneously across muay thai and boxing, and his left kick broke bones through a guard.
English Wikipedia has no article on him, which is the useful fact here: a man named in every gym in the world as the yardstick for the sport's signature technique has no entry in the encyclopedia most of the world reads. Thai sources carry him; the census at /people/ shows what that gap looks like at scale.
