    The Fury fight is exciting as hell in its own right. One, due to the talent matchup, and two because its for the lineal championship.

    Being a narcissist wouldn't make me wrong. Having a strong opinion based on something you've assumed is narcissistic though isn't it?

    It's disappointing to me that rather than do even a little bit of serious research into anything I claim you choose to make personal attacks against me. If you're honestly interested in my credentials I have been on television a few times when I was younger and my inventions more hot. I'm not allowed to spam but if you ask for them then it's not advertising....I think.

    The original thread had something to do with size. There I said I was not sold on some of the adages boxing spreads as tested truth, namely the power is not a trainable element, because of my medical knowledge as a prosthetics molding engineer.

    I let it go because I figured folks were so against it they'd not even bother to look into anything they're just going to become skeptical of my word, but when i saw Wilder talking about one of the same points I'd made I thought maybe these guys might look into just how thoroughly techniques have been studied, but they won't. I'm not even arguing that boxing is wrong just that there hasn't been a lick of scientific study done.

    I dunno why you bother. You don't want to talk to me. Even when I pleasant with you, you don't have anything to say. I'll walk you through it step by step if you like, but we both know you don't so what is it you're looking for; attention?

    But 925 ft-lbs is about 3-400 ft-lbs more than a Colt 45 depending on the round you use.

    If boxers can take that sort of punishment I think them surviving it is more impressive than the ability to generate that amount energy. Although 925 is just friggin insane to produce if anyone evr actually received 925 to the dome and took it without any serious long term damage that's possibly the most incredible thing that could come from scientifically studying boxing.

    You know what I love about being educated and having a bunch of scientific relatives with multiple degrees in biology, zoology, math, physics, Actuarial science, my wife's cousin is a surgeon etc.....is when discussing anything with any of them is they are always curious and rarely judgmental or of a superior attitude now understand someone with a Masters may be absolute in their beliefs but a Phd should never be absolute a good scientists is constantly seeking new knowledge no real scientists believes science is infallible or absolute they believe their always something more hence the never ending study and research of new ideas on the same subjects....now I am not saying you are absolutely not a scientist in some way but a good one constantly advancing theory into is contradicted by your posts and absolutist mindset demonstrated......?. For example my father in law is a molecular geneticist or was one he is retired but also held several degrees in math, anatomy, zoology etc....when discussing recombination of DNA his answer is never absolute because the sheer possibilities and combinations involved are enormous and therefore without DNA tampering science cannot calculate the sheer number of possible combinations to predict outcomes.

    The sheer amount of variables involved in a KO as simple as it sounds is not so simple.....yes man is an animal with higher intellect....but to predict every variable involved to prove a theory and advance the science would be impossible at this point the combinations of variants are what makes what you say ridiculous to some very experienced and some very educated people.

    Now speaking of assumptions beside your statement of being the only one who has the background is presumptuous....also to disregard the experience of trainers to understand the mechanics of power or how to develop the kinetic energy needed and the strategy of setting up the adversary to be in the position needed to succeed....I got news for you there are great minds and intelligence in different capacities out there. Carbine Williams a moonshiner without much of a formal education while laying in the sweat box in N.C. designed in his mind the carbine semi automatic design of rifle and had multiple patents adopted by the military and used to win world wars....his motivation? his single shot rifle could not shoot fast enough when the FBI raided his camp.....he was no Einstein but given his lack of formal education and laying in a box sweating away his transgression he was a genius all the intellect and potential laid their untapped in a poor hillbilly moonshiner not to be known without the circumstances that drove his invention.....necessity is the mother of invention just as incentive drives free markets.

    Feel free and give us your credentials....I will be the first one to invest in a fool proof way to make KO power in every fighter.....if you can solve it I am in the incentive is their. By the way all Wilder is really saying in his discussion is an old saying explained "it isn't the size of the dog in the fight it's the size of the fight in the dog".

    Now ballistics question the armor piercing bullet that the 925lbs is compared to is concentrated into a tiny space not spread out over the size of a fist am I right? the kinetic energy that travels through with the bullet through it's intended target creates damage in it's own right by the speed it travels through flesh for example. I was a weapons and ballistic type in my military profession of which I retired from and a war veteran of gun battles and fully understand the damage done by such a round but again this is not the whole story as I have seen men live through gun shots from the same armor piercing rounds of course the grain, speed and shape of the round vs a full metal jacket armor piercing round are considered as well. The point is the variations though smaller involved in shooting a moving man for example determine the outcome as well as the skill of the shooter. I used the Hornady method in calculating lethalityHITS = Bullet Weight^2 x Velocity / Bullet Diameter^2 / 700,000. In words, the HITS number is equal to the square of the bullet weight (in grains) times the velocity (in feet per second) divided by the square of the bullet diameter (in inches) divided by 700,000. I copy pasted the method for others to see.

    Tyson Fury ain't going nowhere near Wilder for a good while yet and he knows it. Wilder will put the Gypsy King to sleep that i assure you.....

    Does this mean no, you're not interested in my credentials?

    Forgive me, this is quite a long and well thought out dig into my character and I didn't read it all. I don't care how your sister conducts herself. If I'm honest with you professionalism turns my stomach. Bunch of frauds patting each other on the ass while praying no one with any truth steps in their industry. I don't mean to dig on your family, I'm not saying they are those sort, but, from the way you're crying about my conduct I do feel like you're used to being handled and are getting pissy that I treat you like an equal rather than patronizing you and flexing my vocab. Honestly, and not meant to be offensive....that's just how I feel about that.

    From here I scanned for anything technical. Again it's not really anything against you I just know full and well the **** people do in my field and don't need to be told yet again by some rando that if I don't act a certain way I can't be a real pro.

    Energy transfer is a very simple process that requires very simply tools. No matter how complicated you want to claim it is, I do it all the time, I do it in subjects no one else has yet, and if I was wrong or even only somewhat right my invention, patented btw, would not work. Terribly complicated to you maybe.

    Dunno what Carbine has to do with anything. Yes, incentive does drive a free market.....where is the incentive for the boxing industry heads to come together and science boxing up a bit? They have that already, it's call sports science, they will play with the unit to get the most advertisement friendly stats they can. There is no consistency. As far as Carbine being a genius or inventor, I never claimed to be a genius and how many men failed to produce Carbine's invention before him?

    Finally! final paragraph you finally want to talk some level of physics. I'm excited. This is what I wanted to speak on, not myself.

    No, 925 is not spread, 925 is the transfer. That's what has me so very flabbergasted. If 925 was spread across his fist it'd be much less on the transfer, like much much much less. Like one of those muzzleball loaders. If you ain't seen a muzzleball loader and you're into guns you might want to look at them, they're simple but neat all in one. That's an example of, let's just call it X, ft-lbs being put behind an object to spread the ft-lbs to produce the much lower, less than lethal Y. Marciano's load energy isn't the question the question is how the blue hill did he put 925 ft-lbs into a pendulum. As far as grain goes hence the range I gave. 925 is Marciano's punch. a Colt 45 with a XPB bullet will hit at 500, GCSP will be above 550. I gave a very generous range for the bullets when I said Marciano is 300-400 FT-LBS more. You don't need bullet weight or grain measurement to read an energy output. It doesn't matter if the weight, grain, windspeed, direction of the fella yer shooting etc all should have worked out to X ft-lbs if you get Y consistently when you test it you're going to look at those factors you pre-supposed and question what you mismeasured or what machine is misreading. :lol: If you do a buttload of math, runs some tests, and get shown your math is bupkis but stick to that math like it's the word of god you are not conducting a scientific test at all bubba. So no, I don't need bullet weight to tell XPB when I shoot the gun my chronograph read X. I don't need bullet weight to tell you x weight moved by x rate equals x energy transfer.

    I think a 220lbs man can hit hard enough to ko anyone. A 185lbs man ?I'd say there are very very few that could.
    Moore said Sheppard and Durelle hit him harder than Marciano.
    Cockell said he was hit harder by other opponents but never so often.

    We shall see. It is certainly seems a tenable model for success. Massive reach, height, an awkwardness and cunning (?) that let's him stay in a fight until he can crank all that leverage into power. Add to all that a true fighting heart. It has worked so far, but so far against middling opposition. And he was most recently within a hair of being stopped by a geriatric Ortiz... but again, he has heart.

    Who was that extremely strange poster who used to leave multiple posts in threads that did not make sense at all?

    Well.. He might be back

    TBH I find your posts about as comprehensible as Ras Al Guhl's, except his have the merit of being amusing occasionally.I've nothing against you ,I just wonder WTF you are doing on a boxing site? I have enough attention here at home,5 kids, 7 grandchildren ,I come to this forum to escape it from time to time!

    I think you have some issues Pal,and I'm not alone in that opinion.Have a nice evening.

    The initial post in this thread is essentially indecipherable gibberish.

    Anyway, Wilder will eventually be comprehensively schooled by somebody who possesses a higher degree of scientific boxing skill.

    As Saoul Mamby so eloquently opined many years Ago -"The strong will defeat the weak, but the smart will defeat the strong. "

    Had a hard time following him and the OP, but are we saying that skill is unnecessary in boxing?

    I recommend anyone who thinks so to get into great physical shape without training any boxing and then go to a gym and spar a decent amateur. Tell him he gets 1 000 € if he knocks you out. Any takers?

    What a great reply! Never knew the story of the carbine. Thanks for sharing it.
