    Green should beat Johnson at the weekend. He's got over 10 years of evolution on his side.

    Its you thats does not have proof that welterweights today are hitting harder than Sugar Ray Robinson, I on the the other hand, have stoned cold fact of my claims right here

    Here you see a one punch knockout of Gene Fullmer a big strong middleweight, this was Fullmers only knockout defeat ever and this was above Robinsons natural weight and past his peak.

    There can be no PROOF either way becasue there aren't standardised records of boxers punch power output. What you've stated as stone cold fact demonstrates your ignorance and flawed argument.

    Evolution supports my argument and it's unintelligent to argue with that unless you have some sort of counter argument that is supportable by solid measurable and relevant records. None exist. All arguments posted to counter this are subjective and contain more than one variable making them circumstantial rather than evidential.

    How does it I never heard of a science experiment on boxing, and how can evolution support your claim, when all the old timers are dead, so how can they test them :huh


    where is the support to your claims :blood

    Do you even know what evolution is?! Look at records of human strength over time. They keep getting broken and improved upon. :verysad:silly

    No, he's not. If you want to call him Jamacian then fair enough but Canadian on the back of living there for a few years in his teens???

    What has strength got to do with punch power :huh

    Strength has nothing to do with punch power which is to do with leverage, velocity and technique.

    You must not box or be involved in boxing :verysad

    Yeah, really the old chestnut that fighters have got stronger and more athletic with time, even if true, has little bearing on punch power. There is not much reason to think if Jimmy Wilde had access to a tub of Whey protein and a sports scientist he´d be a harder puncher, its much more about technique and he clearly had the art of punching refined in his hundreds of fights in booths and professionally.

    velocity, as in speed. :nut Part of my argument. You'd also see, if you'd read my posts that I recognise the fact that technique plays a part but strength is part of power.

    More strength allows for more coiling and thus more leverage. That's two of your three which will undoubtedly have improved with time. Technique may not have done but as mentioned in general one factor would not be enough to skew the trend when looking at a list.
