Check this one out it has good details. Flyweights punching almost as hard as superheavyweights sounds unreal, but its very true. http://www.straightdope.com/columns...-land-a-punch-at-2-000-pounds-per-square-inch
No he's not, he's talking specifically about the transference of energy upon impact. I think the tests on a flat surface where the initial impact is measured instantly is more accurate than the standard one which Calzaghe took, where you hit the ball and the force measured is the impact of that ball hitting the machine. The latter would be measuring the power of the push which has correlation with the strength of the punch, the former would measure the force upon impact.
Uhh...bit rude. You should be aware that cyborgs and holograms do actually exist. Today. Just to humour you, I'll start on the list of no-doubt well OVER 100-200 criteria which would all go together to make up the factors of the energy transfer of one punch: velocity, padding/material of glove, surface area of strike, gravity, mass of both fighters, density of both fighters muscles/bones/tendons, geometry of impact area, elasticity of both fighters physiologies (itself probably over 25 different measurable factors), temperature, blood pressure etc etc etc etc My engineering experience covers a wide variety of materials related areas. Chemical and physical testing of many different materials measuring, velocity, strength, elemental content, adhesion, general structural surveys, emissions etc etc. You may have your own, no doubt very intellectual and well educated opinions but please allow 'little old me' mine also.:smooch
HBO has some technology where a chip goes in each glove of the fighters and it sends velocity and impact data in real time. I think they've had some issues getting them in use with the commissions. They wanted to unveil the tech in the GGG-Stevens fight.
I see soo many D-bags actually take like 4-5 steps and hit those bar room machines with everything they got. Some even get a 15 foot running start and hit it. Lol
The difference between an average 120 lbs boxer and an average 240 lbs boxer in my estimate is 7/10, which is the result of weight value in lower weights, this has many reasons...another subject I view Wilder at 220 lbs as a supersized Welterweight, torquing all his body into power punches, generating maximum punching power. Something that never happened in the heavyweight since Marciano and Tyson/Holy when they were 215. Wilder is the first fullfledged modern heavyweight who knows to put all his body into it & this is reflected in 31-0 100% KO :boxer
