Kyokushin will most likely train a fighter for this type of match, compared to the other choices. That is, of course, only in my humble opinion.

None of those would fare well. Why? becuase they are just names of styles. Not everyone in each of them styles are at the same skill level. Not everyone from those styles will have some natural athletic ability.

not this argument again.... LETS just assume that they all have the exact same skill level and entered training at the same physical abilities and had training under equally skilled instructors.
IN OTHER WORDS, what prepares you better for ring combat?

none of them have had much succes in NHB. however there have been a Few people who have a Kyokushin background and actually use it.

Bas Rutten has a Background in Kyokushin and gives it alot of credit for his conditioning and his trademark bodyshots.

Semmy Schilt also has a Kyokushin background.

Based on what I've heard, Kenpo usually doesn't allow full contact or kicks below the waste
