Naww man, he wasn't called Mr. Perfect for no reason -- the guy was a surgeon. Some of his combinations were inhuman. Anderson Silva is a great fighter but comparing him to Hoost?
All I saw was sloppy boxing and beautiful leg kicks. Like I said, he is a good kickboxer, nothing more. I saw so many times, when Hoost was overwhelming guys with his aggressive punching, he could have kneed the shit out of them or thrown elbows, but he didnt. Plus Anderson has a ground game aswell.
And if anyone is "Mr. Perfect" It's BJ penn

I never see Hoost throwing flying knees, or showing movements like Anderson. Hell Hoost had no answer for SAPP for christ sakes. Anderson would have used his movement to stay clear of Sapp and picked Sapp apart. Hoost is a good kickboxer, nothing more.
el oh fucking el. i wouldn't put money on anderson to beat hoost in a kickboxing match even now.
1 fight does not spell out the quality level of an entire organization.

Dude, this is Ernesto Hoost we are talking about here. FIVE time WGP K-1 Champ, a career that spans almost 120 fights. The guy is a wizard at Karate, Savate and Muay Thai -- I apologize for anyones ignorance but Anderson would have nothing for Hoost at the top of his career. Hell, Hoost is in his 40s and I would bet he would wax the floors with Silva.
Comparing BJ Penn? a 13-4 fighter to a legend that has won the WGP numerous times with a record of 118-19 with over 60 KOs? C'mon man.

I never said Anderson would outstrike him. Hoost is way bigger. Anderson would just take him down and sub him ofcourse. And seriously, all you guys calm down on the "Mr perfect" "Wizard" talk. The guy isnt Micheal Jordan, he got beat by Bob sapp. Yes he is one of the greatest strikers ever, but quit taking his nickname so damn literal.
Im just saying, proven by Rampage, Overeem and Mousasi. Some MMA strikers are good enough and unorthodox enough to hang with K-1 level striking. Id pick Anderson over anyone who is his size.

you certainly implied that anderson was a better striker. i have news for you anyways. bobb sapp would ragdoll, bully, and pound on anderson in a k1 match even more than he did to hoost.

No he wouldnt. Anderson knows how to box and move around via awesome footwork. Anderson is better than Hoost at certain striking aspects, yes. But he wouldnt win a match, Hoost is too big

Hoost fought at 205 so he wouldnt be MUCH bigger at all.
Anderson would brutally molested by a prime hoost in a pure stand up match.

The juiced sapp who fought Hoost would eat Anderson alive.

Then you don't know what you're looking at. That video shows Hoost using flurries of straight punches, looping punches and low kicks to attack the opponent's head, body and legs in every combination.
Ernesto fought Sapp, back when he was roided to hell and back and in actual decent shape. He did okay, but Hoost was far past his prime and he couldn't deal with Sapp's size.
