Boonsong Mansri (Thai: บุญส่ง มั่นศรี; 13 August 1950 – 16 April 2009), known professionally as Saensak Muangsurin (Thai: แสนศักดิ์ เมืองสุรินทร์), was a Thai Muay Thai fighter and professional boxer. He was a Lumpinee Stadium champion, and also became a WBC Light Welterweight champion in professional boxing, who was famous in the 1970s. He won one of the major boxing titles in his 3rd professional fight, 241 days after his debut, which is still the record after 48 years. He is also Thailand's heaviest world boxing champion to date. Nicknamed the "World Collapsing Southpaw", he is often regarded as one of the most fearsome punchers in Muay Thai history.
