    He asked how Huck could possibly get more power out of his punches. He can further develop his shoulder snap.

    In other words Huck hits as hard as Baer. Glad that little bit of nonsense is cleared up.

    Mm hmm. Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to file it in the appropriate slot.

    I thought it was very clear what I was asking, but I should have realised a few posts back that it wasn't getting through.

    Don't worry yourself about it.

    I've watched all those bouts since 1970. Your choosing Baer at his worst vs Braddock. The best Baer was vs Schmeling who was near top of his game and Baer, in a tough fight, came on to stop Schmeling. A true characteristic of an excellent fighter.

    How do you know he's not getting shoulder snap into his punches if it's so difficult to determine on film?

    Ok

    I dismantled your argument. Move along now.

    You cannot tell how hard a fighter hits, from their build, or how they look on film, period.

    If you think that you can, then don't waste your time with us.

    Prove your method, and write it up in a peer reviewed journal.

    Why not?

    And yet it took reznick to actually answer the question. Good job there friend.

    He is. And you can.
    It's not binary. (As in he either does it or he doesn't)
    It's its own world of technique, with nuance and depth.

    It's very hard to see the actual technique of shoulder snapping, because it's a very internal thing. But obviously you can see the effects of great shoulder snap punching on film. Such as a slow traveling punch that causes an explosive impact on the opponent. And the way a fighter is able to remain balanced while throwing multiple thudding mule kick punches in combos like Louis, Tyson, Jackson, Golovkin, etc

    Because Baer has better knockout results over fighters that were better than the guys that Huck knocked out lmao.That's just one reason.

    I answered your question a while ago. You're just too arrogant to admit it.

    You can make some educated guesses. It's not that complicated to tell if someone is hitting with bad intentions or not. The difficulty comes when narrowing it down and establishing more precise measurements. I'm not even sure if it can ever be done, and the knowledge wouldn't tell the whole story anyway.

    Top ten hardest puncher lists are literally just a huge guessing game. There's nothing remotely scientific about any of them.

    You misunderstood the question, which is why I had to keep repeating it. Reznick got it. You didn't.

    No. You asked how Huck can improve his punching power. I told you that it isn't punching power that is the problem but the other things previously mentioned.

    Your silly little simple mind can't seem to get over the fact that there is more to a knockout than punching power.

    Yes, but they usually correlate to a fighters results in the ring, and the testimony of their opponents.

    Was Huck scoring spectacular knockouts over elite opposition?

    Were his opponents saying that being punched by him shook their world as with Ernie shavers, or that he punched well above his weight as with Golovkin?

    If the answers to these questions are no, then he does not sit among the harder punchers of his weight!

    Which is not what I was asking.

    The simple fact of the matter is you failed to grasp the reason I was asking the question in the first place.

    Like I said, though. It's cool.
