I’m sure mark hunt could be one of the best heavyweight also in boxing….
no, just no. Trust me. He has excellent boxing for MMA, but for actual boxing, he’d be decent, but nowhere near one of the best Heavyweights.
Sorry but he would get his *ss handed to him in boxing against any decent contender. He’s way too slow for boxing
The knock down/stoppage was excellent. The fight, a very short one, was all for Hunt. I guess Frank should think seriously in retirement before receiving a major injury which could jeopardize his future wellbeing.
