    Earnie Shavers
    Mike Tyson
    George Foreman
    Wilfredo Gomez
    John Mugabi?
    The murderer Valero

    Spill it...I suspect it would be a lot but on the scale of 1 to 10 and how long would I be crying for?

    If they caught you with one punch, you wouldn't feel a thing until you woke up with a terrible headache and double vision, that is, if you woke up at all. And maybe a loose tooth or two, and a sore jaw, temple, or neck, depending on where they hit you and how you landed.

    I can’t speak for you personally as I don’t know what your pain threshold is nor how you’re built. But I myself would be badly hurt by those men.

    Maybe I should just pray they wont hurt a lady, though in Valero's case we sadly know he would.

    The strongest punches you won't feel anything cause you'd be asleep. Thats one of the reasons the "he hit hardest" anecdotes are flawed. Boxing is not a sport where both guys trade their hardest punches in the name of science.

    If someone has enough power to do the maximum amount of damage a person can perceive any additional power isn't going to do anything. For ordinary people though it takes less for that to happen.

    While some boxers truly can't hit hard most point fighters are big punchers if you lower their level of opponent enough. Us ordinary people are as low as it can go. Not that every pro boxers punch would feel the same but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between power hitters even the smaller ones. These are guys who hit hard enough for champion level boxers to fear them.

    If the average man or woman was allowed to be hit clean by any of the first three it would quite possibly kill them imo, at the very least break something major, especially if they’re unfit or a bit older

    But what about that fat guy that Mike Tyson kod in The Hangover?
    He didn't seem to bad..
    Perhaps Tyson doesn't hit that hard :)

    Mostly as noted these people would sleep you and you wouldn’t feel a thing … until you woke up.

    In my experience, body shots actually hurt in real time. You get hit a good one in the first round and a few rounds later you’re probably still feeling it (especially if you get bruised ribs, which will stay with you for quite some time).

    In my one round sparring with Pinklon Thomas, he hit me with a body shot followed by a right hand to the jaw at the end of the round. The body shot was crippling, the right hand (it was sparring, he wasn’t trying to kill me and I realize he could have probably taken me out if he had wished to put a bit of mustard on it because I was wide open and he could have teed off) … impacted.

    But when I was leaving the gym a while later, I began to feel a clicking in my jaw where that right hand landed and it kept up for about a month, like my jaw was on a hinge. I was about to go to a doctor because I figured it must have been broken (slightly) … and it went away. But it stayed with me that long.

    Getting hit on the nose by anyone hurts (maybe not once you’ve had the cartilage smashed like a lot of pro boxers) but mostly to me it’s not so much of a ‘pain’ thing. People who fought Foreman mostly used the word ‘numb’ to describe it — he’d hit you on the arm and your whole arm would go numb for a while. Holyfield said he thought George had knocked all his teeth out … because he couldn’t feel the inside of his mouth. That’s freaking scary, haha.

    Having said all that …
