Mark Hunt: I hit harder than Mike Tyson

Seriously. Dat head trauma.
 
I have no doubt that in a vacuum, Hunt would be able to produce more kinetic force into a single punch than Mike Tyson. However, that does not translate into the ability to put to use or even to produce that sort of power in a legitimate fighting scenario.

Like, you can't just plant your feet and put everything you have into a single punch without telegraphing it. Also, to throw a punch like that would mean leaving yourself off-balance afterwards, leaving you completely vulnerable to being countered. Sort of like Hunt wildly swung at Manhoef with a huge amount of Newtons going forward, and then Manhoef snapping those Newtons back at Hunt's chin and Hunt ending up looking at the stars.

No...Tyson in 4 oz gloves commits murder
 
It is not as far fetched as it sounds. Tyson was a fast, combo puncher.
 
Sure. But in 20 years people aren't gonna say "I hit harder than Hunt", they're still gonna say "I hit harder than Tyson".
 
Hunt with MMA gloves might hit harder than Tyson with boxing gloves.

But I doubt he hits harder than Tyson overall.

TS left out that Hunt admits Tyson would win between them due to speed and combinations.

I am assuming he means a boxing match? Or maybe Hunt is admitting that due to styles, Tyson would win an MMA match.
 
no, Mike is an AAA level athlete that punched all day for years for a living.

There has never been an A level athlete in MMA (i.e. one with the athleticism to excel in the benchmark sports that are the NFL and/or NBA).

2010 called, they want their A level athlete nonsense back.
 
If I had to choose to get hit by either, sorry Mark, I'm picking you. Tyson with UFC gloves would probably knock my head off.
 
LOL at Hunt hyping this fight

Anyone who believes this needs to watch his fight against Nishijima in PRIDE ...
 
just power? I tend to agree.

But it's hard to compare. Different sport, different styles and technique.
