Mark Hunt: I hit harder than Mike Tyson

I agree. Hunt hit's harder than Tyson did when he was younger.

Khaosay galaxy was lightweight who even kill a guy because of his power. Pfp hit harder than tyson or moore.

Bruh, he had Galaxy in his name. He was probably the illegitimate son of Galactus, destroyer of worlds.

no way, Tyson was putting guys lights out with huge gloves and these are guys that are way better trained to absorb head trauma than mma athletes.
Tell me how they trained to absorb head trauma.
 
Hunt, I like you, but Tyson in his prime would destroy you, he's quicker than anything you see at heavyweight today.
I don't think he's saying he'd beat Tyson in boxing.
 
Hunt has power but this type of nonsense has to end. Hunt had two boxes matches against absolute nobodies and lost both. He can't even knock out nobodies in boxing. That shows his power is greatly overstated or he is so terrible at boxing he can't land punches on complete novices in boxing. He also has under 50% knockout rate in kickboxing.

Well he can't beat Tyson obviously but may hit as hard. Tyson is 50 but even now if he had some time to train and get sparring rounds in, he would KO I think any UFC fighter under pure boxing rules..
 
Didn't say he was a knockout art I am saying he throws hard fucking leather. He beat the shit out Frazier. The punches he threw in those fights are more powerful than Hunt's imo.

It isn't so much Ali's punching power as it is how much you people overrate MMA fighters. That even a guy not known for power in boxing still hits harder. Ali is a fucking skilled puncher. He is an artist. Mark Hunt can barely fight. He just takes a beating. He has never showed any exceptional skill. Elite boxers are much better athletes. Sorry.

Some guys are skilled though. Like Ernesto Hoost. Cro Cop. Mark Hunt is not a fighter like them. He is Roy Nelson. He isn't even a skilled kickboxer.

How do you know Ali hits harder? you don't, you're just making shit up.

Mark hunt can barely fight........big words mister keyboard warrior

"Elite boxers are much better athletes" - doesn't matter, they'll still lose

Is that Tyson or Michael Jordan? They have the same eyes.
 
Probably mean they are more used to the head trauma from al the sparring and boxing bouts

I don't think you can get used to head trauma by repeatedly getting hit in the head.

In fact isn't it the opposite?

look what happened over at chute boxe
 
i dont know if its similar
but isnt it like if you lift weights you get extremely sore and it feels painful at first
then over time you get used to it

i was thinking if you get punched the first few times it will hurt bad then you sort of get used to the pain i really have no idea. i would assume a person who has boxed and been punched many times will feel less pain than a beginner getting punched
 
Definitely agree, Tyson had great speed and combinations, and good power but his hands weren't all that heavy. I can only recall one "one-punch" win in his career (botha).

Of course in the time that Hunt could land one big shot Tyson could land 3.

Another thing, Tyson was much smaller, 215 at his best, Mark couldn't get down to 215 if he cut his leg off.
 
Tyson wasn't the hardest puncher in boxing as stated before. I'm willing to bet a prime mike in 4 ounce gloves would hit harder the anyone in mma. Speed plus mass equals force. His hand speed and power together would top anyone I've ever seen in mma

Yep, if you ever want to judge someones boxing knowledge ask them who hits the hardest, if they say "Tyson" they aren't a real fan of the sport.

The correct answer would be Shavers, possibly Foreman; or they'd give you p4p answer like Jackson or Hearns.

what if they said floyd mayweather is the hardest hitter in boxing
 
I don't think he's saying he'd beat Tyson in boxing.
Either way I dont think he punches as hard as tyson, tyson had speed which would give him the advantage, that kind of speed from a HW is deadly.
