If this guy makes a good transition from K-1 to boxing...

[Fearless]

I can see Hari returning to K-1 in the future.

K-1 is dying, it's in its last breaths, management not paying their fighters and the talent pool isn't what it used to be.

They went from doing 20 000+ attendance to a mere 5000 in Japan recently.

If Haye with his superior speed and boxing skills couldn't beat Wladimir, I don't think this guy will. As far as looming threats to the Klitschkos go, I'd give David Price the edge over this guy. Price has good fundamentals, as well as power and size. Deontay Wilder and Chris Arreola are bigger threats, too.

I disagree with the poster who said his age is a problem. He is 27, so I'd say he would have another 8 or 9 years left. It seems you can be a bit older in the heavier weight divisions.

It would be good to have him in the division to make things more interesting.

I don't think anyone's expecting him to beat a Klitschko. He's just an intersting addition to the heavyweight scene, that's all.

BTW, to the person that brought up his total number of fights, be aware that all of those fights would have been three rounders. There are no gruelling protracted wars in K-1 of the type that ruins fighters or makes them shot overnight.

I think at best he could be a top 15 heavy, and probably make more money then he does now.

Any top 10 guy would probably TKO him rather easy.

Bear in mind the current top ten involves guys like Fury, Dimitrenko, Thompson and Helenius, as well as little old Adamek.

I heard it'd been having problems but not on that scale. If that's the case we might see some real dedication from Hari, and a few more K-1 guys maybe. Wish Le Banner were a few years younger.

Some good points I didn't meant Sefo wasn't good he was but I was gonna bring up how he did in Boxing but you already talked about that and I get what you're saying, Sefo could have done better in Boxing I agree I think Hunt as well he was very talented if he trained harder he'd have been a lot better.

Also Tua with his power and style would have done great in K-1 as well, about Hari and Vitali we gotta also consider that Vitali likely wouldn't just go there without cross-training when that is factored along with his excellent Boxing skills that's why I see Vitali winning.

Ok I don't know then so are you Kazak?

I don't think Hunt or Mo would have been particularly great boxers. They were far too flatfooted and one-dimensional, and lacked anything approaching a good jab. They would have been tough, hard hitting punchbags at best, of the Demetrice King, Friday Ahunanya variety, maybe nicking a good win here and there by their punch power alone.

Sefo was the one with the talent IMO.

If only there were some videos of Naz and Badr training. Naz has been praising him highly.
