[Pugilist89]

You absolute tease, you.

The most tremendous display of power punching that Nash has never seen. Kudos. You could destroy any of them and knock down a wall based on this unseen footage. Nash out - His Excellency

Bro, of course you can. The height and weight of a man admits no indication as to the strength of his pee-pee.

If you’re hitting like an average heavyweight, there’s definitely potential to hurt someone, but it’s not just about raw power. Technique, accuracy, and timing matter a lot. If you’re confident in your punch and can land it cleanly, you could definitely cause damage, but a trained fighter would likely be more precise with their shots, which can be even more effective than just power.

You can, you know, measure your power. Relate it to well known heavy hitters. Marciano is easiest.

LB-FTs, foot-pounds, Move one pound one foot = 1 ft-lbs. Move 1,000 pounds 1 foot = 1,000 ft-lbs. Simple.

Marciano was measured by the US Army at 925, which is similar to a .44 or Ford F250.

Anything above 300 you can consider KO power. Below 300 isn't too few for a KO, but it is too few for a guaranteed KO.





So, if you can hang about 200 and move it a foot with a single punch then you know you have single punch power that hurt any sized man. Anything 300 and above is pretty brutal, anything around the 1k mark is ATG status.

I don't think it's quite that simple. I think velocity is also an important factor and it's importance varies according to the mass of the cranium that is the object of the force. Take for example the muscle bound, who while very strong, can't generate the handspeed necessary to be a dangerous puncher.

You're not wrong. You can lift a 100 pounds a foot and know you generated 100 footpounds and also know there was no strike involved.

That said, if you like your punch as is and are not trying to improve it just get a measure of energy output that is how you do it. Or rather, that is the industry standard for projectile energy.


In super basic terms, Energy is not power or force but is what becomes power or force. Power is how quickly energy does work. Force is how much work is output by energy. All are so similar in casual speech there's no reason to differentiate but once you start taking time into consideration you're in the world of power and force and have left raw energy behind.

Which is fair and interesting and even more revealing but necessary to know you have KO "power".




Guys who do a love of moving with there punches are high force. Foreman was forceful and you can see it.
Wilder doesn't hit with a ton of force but the power output is undeniable, dudes go right to sleep.

In terms of energy I'd assume them similar. In a power rating Wilder, I would assume, hits higher numbers while in terms of force it'd be George who hits higher numbers.

When training or sparring with someone in a heavier weight class, it's important to focus on technique and control to avoid injury. Power alone doesn't necessarily guarantee control, so always be mindful of your movements. On a different note, if you are receiving government support, don't forget to to ensure you are updated on your benefits.

I am 134 lbs currently walking around. I’ve chinned heavyweights a few times. Not out cold, but wobbled them and stopped them in sparring. 14 oz gloves and headgear. Oponent was 6 ft 4 215 lbs but less experienced than me. But for physical purposes yes you can hurt a larger man quite easily if you land right. I also sparred a guy 6 ft 2 about 190 and he quit after 2 hard shots and turned his back. Heads don’t scale with height always. I sparred a guy who frequently spars with Ryan Roziki a top ranked cruiser. I didn’t wobble him but I landed some hard shots on him and he said the punches were much harder than he expected. All I can go by.

tall fighters tend to fight with their chins in the air or in a vulnerable spot. It can be dangerous for them if they aren’t careful to keep distance
