margarito is stronger and much more heavy handed but hes very slow, he doesnt have any real explosiveness in his punches and needs volume and pressure to eventually break fighters down. his KO% is relatively high bcuz of his aggressive style and isnt really an indicator of true power.
floyd is the oposite in that regard, bcuz hes so careful he has far less KOs that couldve been the case, but he still has power. he hurt almost every fighter he ever fought he just doesnt go after the stoppage much. he isnt a big puncher but hes a good puncher, along with his excellent speed, timing, precision and ability to set ppl up hes got better one punch KO ability than margarito imo.
TBH the more I read from you, the more I realise you are new to boxing.
Speed is power and can knock you down/out, but there is also power from a huge ass brute.
Who hits harder, Floyd or Tua?
Tua may be slow but his weight and strength obviously makes him hit harder. Margarito is a big man and can hit hard but his speed and skills make him not always hit you.
Tua actually was a fast puncher, also a fast mover until he would be "damped down" and reduced to plodding around.
Mayweather times a million. I dont understand these poll results.
Does speed have nothing to do with power?
Margarito has no pop in those punches. Only reason he can knock people out is because hes willing and can take excessive amounts of punishment.
Speed doesn't have as much to do with power as people here accept. It's mostly a trite saying, a quip, and not neccessarily true. Power comes from mass and momentum, speed without weight behind it means nothing.And i think it alsohas something to do with the kind of fibres in the muscles.

as does mass without speed.
a KO comes from a fighters brain scrambling inside his skull, getting knocked into the cranium. you achieve this from creating a whiplash effect when you strike someone.
it applies to any blow tbh. if you heard about a bad car accident the first thing you wonder is how fast the cars were going, not how big they were.
power is mass x speed, the vast majority of big punchers in boxing history had fast hands. the ones who didnt were more heavyhanded 'wear you down' kind of guys, like margarito. fighters whose punches have a pushing impact rather than rattle their oponents brain and turn their lights out.
Speed is only power when it also has mass and acceration. Otherwise it means...no KO's.
Mass times acceleration equal force, not power.
An simply by throwing a punch, you have to have mass, and you accelerate your fist.
And it would be the inertia of the punch that would matter, also the contact area, the direction of the object you are hitting, the give in the gloves and in the object you are hitting, where you hit the person and probably a few more things that would determine a KO.
