we all know how hunt fought in pride and then in pride, relying on his chin and decent power to win the standup. that worked for him then and he had success but against toney he would kick him a lot and wouldnt be so dumb to trade hands with him. Hunt isnt known for his kicks too much but has WAY better than average kicks than most mma fighters.(doesnt go high with them, but would destroy toney's legs) He got away with out them at all in mma(also fearing takedowns) and in k1 his kicks werent as affective at that high of a level but against toney he would kick that shit out of him.
i always love the scenario people play out "if he boxed with toney in the fight" or just threw hands with him, the only one dumb enough to do that is timmeth.
Hunt would far be from my first choice, but especially against a guy like toney, who isnt that big and likes to fight in a lower stance, he would get KTFO by any top k1 striker now. Imagine what overeem would do to him, he would take his head off clean with a good knee followed by a brutal hk.
