point being that,just cause you dont have 1 punch k.o power doesnt mean you dont hit hard,as which is the case with the klits.when it comes to k.o's,its about the right punch,not neccesarily the hardest punch.most k.o's come from temple and chin shots,most shots from the klits land in the eye and cheek area's being that they always punch down
you can paralyze somebody with blunt force anywhere due to nerves,but sorry dude,you cant break somebodys back from a body blow lol
and abe simon is around the same size as sam peter,or ike ibeabuchi.both are around 6'3 wtith very thick frames and jameel mccline and shannon briggs are massive
and tyson knocked mitchs teeth out in a street fight dude.not with gloves on
2 Yes punching upwards will destroy your momentum, if you have hand weights attached to your wrist >.< Other than that it will not effect the actual power of a punch. It will effect the placement of it, usually positively as it allows a fighter to bring their legs more into the equation(Ala Tua, Tyson, and especially Frazier) Which is a problem with taller punchers, they cannot typically put as much of the quads and other leg muscles into the punch without exposing themselves(And even then it is still not as mechanically effective as it is with just a short fighter)
3 Foreman knocked the hell out of Moorer, it was a straight Right-Left combination, perfectly executed. I remember it was funny because Moorer kept on talking about what a phoney George was even after the fight. George had said he was setting Moorer up for that the whole night and Moorer just wouldn't shut up. When you go back and watch it, George WAS setting him up the entire night XD Slow punches, constantly pulling punches, and overall making himself to seem as a non-threat. Then suddenly BAM, Foreman hit him so hard it pushed his teeth through his lower lip...Lol, I never like Moorer, he complained to much and was so full of himself I didn't feel bad for him when Tua ended it.
4 Tito was a devastating puncher, but like Tyson it wasn't the power that was doing it. Tito was a master at hitting fighters when their guard was down, where they would not expect it. Very strange angles. If you saw it coming you were fine, but the next 3 punches you were more likely to miss. Anyone can knock you out if you aren't ready for it, and seriously damage or even kill you, hence "Protect yourselves at all times". That was the art Tito was part of. He had good power, but great technique. Hence why Mayorga wasn't KTFO from taking those blows, he was hurt pretty bad but not rattled because he was so braced for it.
5 Look at Abe Simon again, Abe is very dry and lean. His shoulders are very very wide. His frame is much larger than any other fighter I have ever seen. Razor Ruddocks shoulders may have been wider, but his waist was very thin. I have never seen a human being with a frame as impressive as Abe's.
6 Your skull and neck are all that protects your brain from a punch, simple as that. That is why Sonny Liston and Mike Tyson were so adamant about working their necks. Holyfield did it too. If your neck was strong enough, Hypothetically, you would be nearly impervious to most punchers. If you were built like Sam Peter, or a gorilla, or Swamp thing, and had a short neck, you would be better suited to take a good shot on the chin than say someone like Wlad with a longer neck. It is not a fool proof way of telling someones ability to take a punch, but it is a big part of it. Their is also the factors of cranial capacity IE bigger space for your brain that would help, but that is very hard to come by(Andre the Giant, Abe Simon, Randy Cobb, other ugly mofos with huge elongated heads) and impossible to improve. Even smaller factors are your nervous system's "durability" and...well...your brains durability...
7 Yes, you CAN break someone's back with a body blow. I used to ride in a delivery truck, a 18 wheeler, helping truck drivers deliver packages with dollys. One day when I was off one of the drivers I frequently rode with was injured. In the back(Forward) compartment of the trucks was a refrigerated area. This area of the trailer was often iced over on the floor, and empty pallets were laying around. The driver was in a hurry and slipped. He fell over to his side and landed on the pallet. The edge of it caught him just below the ribs, on the side part of your abdominals(No clue what those muscles are called lol) It broke his back, severed his spinal chord. The pallet only touched his side, but his spine snapped, he is paralyzed now People are much frailer than you would think...Just from falling over...Imagine taking a shot from Joe Louis in that same area...I have seen idiots trying to take cannon balls and swinging logs to the belly, obviously it snapped their backs like a twig(Some were successful)...Doesn't take anything to **** up your spine
8 Earnie Shavers broke Howard Smith's neck...It is a documented thing(Cracked two vertebrae in his neck O.o) That is terrifying evidence of the power that Shavers had, and other boxer had too. Even if he couldn't get to his opponents head, he is a great body attacker and most heavies today have jelly bellies.
9 Seems to me that their are two different types of power, bone crushing slow and brain liquefying fast. The fast punches are designed to get at your internals, to create reverberations and destroy your brain. The other is like Marciano or Foreman, to break your bones. George didn't have very many one hit KOs, George rarely hit opponents on the temple or chin either, always everywhere else lol...One reason why Foreman gets so much rep for his power is his height, he has to A. Punch down, and B. He cannot get the leverage that a shorter puncher like Shavers or Tyson can...But even with limited leverage crushes near everyone.
10 Its not size, its alllll engineering, highly technical, super advanced, and hardly understood engineering of the skeletal, muscular, nervous, and circulatory system.
11 If anything Shavers fighting taller opponents will only make the punches more devastating, but the range of them shorter as they travel a few inches upwards then over, instead of straight over.

as far as lewis though,he has weighed at 6 times in his career and a total of 11 times at 250 and very slightly under 250.he was far from flabby and out of shape in those 11 fights.sorry poet.almost as bad a fail as your theory of evolution

Moorer >>>> 45yr old Foreman KO10?
Mercer >>>> schooled by 40yr old Holmes?

McCall >>>>> schooled by Mike`Bounty`Hunter?
Byrd ??????
Lewis >>> Poleaxed by 2 mediocre journeymen?
Tua >> Fattest man to ever fight for the title
Tyson, Holyfield & Bowe >> Yes they could compete in the 1970s but would they beat Ali, Frazier, Patterson, Holmes, Quarry, Bonavena, Lyle, Norton & Foreman? i don't think so.
Jerry Quarry would hammer David Tua like he did Earnie Shavers, Foreman would bounce Tua & Tyson around like a basketball while Smokin Joe Frazier would smoke them all.

His KO percentage is kind of deceiving even though he is my favorite of the 2 over his sister because he actually has a work rate. He's more of a punches in bunches type of guy. If he was a bit more aggressive rather then hitting him with 2-3 punches then stopped, and just kept wailing on him I think he would have gotten the stoppage. I wish Emanuel was in his corner instead of his sisters because I don't know what his trainer was saying but I think Steward would have given him more motivation to get him out of there. My guess is his trainer told him to be cautious to not get caught in the last round.
But I give Briggs all the credit in the world for hanging in there even though he didn't belong in there in the first place. You can't hate on his hard heart though. He never quit and I respect that.
He's a B level puncher compared to the ATG's.Last edited by $Bullsfam$; 10-17-2010, 03:41 AM.

2)stop acting silly.you know good well that your feet have to be planted to have maximum power.and you should know good well about angles and momentum.an uppercut carries upward momentum.a right cross or strait is meant to be thrown strait to be most effective,as is a hook.strait is where they have the most momentum cause thats how they are meant to be thrown.youy put your leg muscles into a punch by planting your feet
3)yes foreman did knock the hell out of moorer.but dont 4get he got his ass kicked thouroughly before that.be even still i dont buy georges excuse that he set that up perfectly.i always thought moorer went down from the punch and exhaustion.i never liked moorer either but he was a very skilled boxer
4)its quite the opposite with tito.his boxing technique was terrible which is why he was thoroughly outclassed by oscar,hopkins,and wright.3 superb boxers.tito had great power but poor technique
5)ive seen abe plenty,he is big,but like i said he looks like peter to me.jameel mcline is way larger than him
6)exactly.which is why punches on the chin cause k.o's.the klits very rarely land on the chin as its not a good target for them.they land in the eye and cheek area which is why guys faces are a mess after fighting them
7)that still wasnt a body blow.and yes your spine can sever throuh a hard fall on and object being as how you can knock a disc out but still i dont know of any instance when somebody broke a back from a punch
9)exactly.george also fought guys more suited to modern cruisers.but as i said earlier,he doesnt hit you in areas that generally produce k.os.those times he did,like norton,and frazier it was spectacular
sorry dude,thats not how physics works.the most simplest example i can give is if car accelerates up a hill at 60 mph,it wont actually be moving at 60 do the resistance of moving upwards.thats basic science man
and to further add,briggs was taken to the hospital for a broken orbital bone,and noseLast edited by r.burgundy; 10-17-2010, 07:45 PM.

2. A hook, or cross, can travel upwards ala Joe Frazier or Mike Tyson. It WILL have more power if it is angled upwards towards a taller opponent not only because your feet will be better planted into the ground, but the deliverer will be able to absorb the shock of the punch they are throwing better through their feet. If you didn't plant your feet you would just fall over when you threw a punch...you do not use your legs by planting your feet(George Foreman)...You use your legs by using your legs >.<
3. Yeah Moorer was making George look foolish, but notice that George's shots were usually pulled before the KO blow
4. Tito's boxing technique may have been "terrible", but his punching technique WAS amazing...that is what I was saying.
5. If you cut the fat off of Peter and Mccline they would be fairly skinny for men that height, neither has broad shoulders or a very barreled chest.
7. A pallet is only 3 or 4 inches tall tops, the point was that from a shot to the side his back broke, and as I said I have seen morons taking logs to the belly that snapped their backs. So it is possible to break someone's back with a body shot, albeit it would take a awesomely powerful punch
....The punch traveling upwards and the car is a horrible horrible analogy...are you even trying here? If the car is moving at 60 miles an hour, whether it has fallen out of a plane, is going down hill, or going straight up hill...it is still going 60 miles per hour....The only resistance to the fighter punching upwards is gravity and air...I don't think that is going to hold them back, do you? Sorry dude, that's not how physics work...
And if Briggs was fighting a heavy handed fighter, like Joe Louis or Ron Lyle, he would probably have been maimed...He was a stationary defenseless target.
