    weight x velocity certainly isn't force.

    Right . . . Mass x acceleration

    Yeah, it's the old Shavers effect. Feels the punch and it hurts like hell but doesn't get put to sleep because of it.

    Marciano didn't defend his title for as long as Wlad, so there is that. Both guys dominated their eras so I'm not sure you can expect much more from a champion.

    I have sat here quietly without an interjection- Dago arm length is revelant in the book the sports gene. Author David Epstein writes circa an Eastern European water polo Olympic team which through osmosis increased the arm length of its athletes over the decades. Water polo athletes have a longer reach then non- athletes.

    Long torso (short legs), long arms, very broad shoulders is what seems to be best for moving quickly through water.

    But powerlifting has many weight classes which continue in some competition to over 300 pounds. Are they mistaken in this sort of categorization of their participants?

    Wlad defended against Bums. Marciano defended against quality fighters.

    Brewster wasn't that great. Sanders only made a name off of knocking Wlad out.

    No. In boxing x does not equal 2. This isn't math. You can't put numbers into an equation and expect to get the same result.

    Vitali had a face that looked like a raw steak after 6 rounds against old out of shape Lewis. That is definitely not durability. Tua had a good chin. Mavrovic wasn't a shw so don't know why you mentioned him. Wach hasn't beaten anybody, fighting only Wlad and Povetkin doesn't give you a good chin.

    Mass x velocity = force

    That's the definition.

    Torque/Arm length=force also, approximately. Hence, Tua hit ridiculously hard with the left hook .

    Maybe look **** up before you talk bullcrap.

    mass x velocity is in no way force.

    Why you so salty?

    It's mass x acceleration or mass/time x velocity

    I studied that a decade ago.

    So you admit that you spouted bullcrap when you said "Mass x velocity = force"
