Who would win an MMA match between theese two Samoan Sluggers? I dont think grappling will come into play in this fight and think it would be a slugfest from hell. Ima go with the boxer just because..I love tua!

Think this one actually comes down to who has the better chin. Or most gas in tank.

Hunt took Rothwell down a few times, factor in the nasty kicks of Hunt (wouldn't worry about the take down) and I think it's a very winnable MMA fight for Hunt. He's a K-1 striker with serious MMA experience.

If the fight stays standing Tua all the way a boxer with 4 oz gloves is scary as hell not to say Hunt is not an elite striker but to stay on the feet against a pro boxer with serious experience and heavy hands would not be good Hunt would kick the shit out of Tua's legs and body but one shot on the button by a former HW boxer with ko power is the end of any MMA heavyweight granite chin or not.

That said i don't see this fight staying on the feet Hunt takes Tua down and subs him

I always find is weird that whenever a boxer is mentioned putting on the famed 4 oz. gloves, he becomes this unstoppable KO machine like a boss fight in the 9th level of a Mario game.

No Double Dragons main boss at the end not a Mario boss.

Seriously though Tua has 20 KO's and 23 TKO's 43 finishes in 52 career wins that shows serious Knock out power with big gloves now put 4 OZ gloves on him and he will damage anyone horribly if they chose to trade hands. He was already a KO machine before the 4 oz gloves

and why would a MMA fighter play to the advantage of a boxer who's whole exsistence until his mma debut would of been training how to use his hands in ways to win at boxing

Hunt is not a good boxer by pro Boxing standards. He would get lit up by Tua standing who used to be a highly ranked top 10 fighter. In MMA, hunt would take him down and sub him rather easily.

And Tua isn't a good striker by K-1 standards OR a good MMA fighter by MMA standards.

Hunt was a top 10 ranked HW in MMA and won the K-1 Grand Prix. Dude can fucking strike.

Yes he can Strike with the best MMA and K-1 would have to offer (to be honest he'd probably get tooled in K-1 right now he has gotten a little sloppy) but why would he want to throw hands with a top notch boxer when he can win very easily by taking his opponent down and subbing him.

Hunt is a bad ass striker yes but there is a very good chance that if he stands with Tau and Tua can get inside and clip Hunt that Hunt would be in a world of trouble Tua has made a living getting inside and knocking people out at 5' 10" he's not exactly gonna be able to sit back and pick people apart at HW

Hunt is also 5'10".

All I'm saying is, I get tired of hearing that boxers become automatic gods when punching another man, regardless of the other man's skill set. Like the boxer will automatically win. Hunt would kick his head off of his shoulders.
