Mark Hunt: I hit harder than Mike Tyson

Hunt looked embarrassing today. Doesn't deserve to compare himself with Tyson when he threw five punches in the fight and they were all so slow and unexplosive that a toddler could have dodged them.
 
Force = mass x acceleration

Mark has a big mass advantage and he probably would generate more force.
 
Someone doesn't watch basketball...

Actually i used to play basketball until i gave it up for wrestling, in addition to doing martial arts for 14 years of my life. Do you see the strength and conditioning programs of nba players compared to mma fighters? Its laughable and in both high school and junior college wrestling we always jokingly talked crap to the basketball players about it. So to answer your question, yes i do. And i still stand by my statement, the NFL has far more freak athletes whereas the NBA has few in comparison to how many players they have, they dont have a lebron james on every team
 
Then go back and look at the statement I quoted and rethink it through.

The mass involved in a punch doesn't involve one's entire body. Tyson was 220 pure muscle. Hunt is a fat fuck at 265. Hunt knocking out BJJ black belts got into his head. He wouldn't survive in boxing.

Kickboxers have dominated when they have gone into boxing, and Mark's strength is his hands, so I think he would do quite well in pro boxing.

Kinetic linking?

in theyr case i think the mass gap Hunt have over Tyson is surpassed by the acceleration of Tyson's punch

Also i think the mass gap is lesser than you think once you consider
-quality of said mass
-ability (technique/coordination/athleticism) to traslate theyr own mass in the punch

Tbh i don't even think Hunt is MMA's most powerful puncher, i think that goes to Carwin or JDS and that some others HW had similar power

For what matter not even Tyson was boxing powerful puncher, even if was one of them

I would love to see hunt box a 6'10 Tyson fury. Even with leg kicks hunt would get decimated. Skill level in boxing is higher than kickboxing.

For sure. If Conor kickboxed Mayweather he'd be asleep quickly too.
