    Well that rewrites the laws of physics somewhat!
    Examples?

    Both had top level power that could put ANYONE out if it lands flush. It shows how simple minded this place is when people revive 10 year old threads about who hit harder.

    Tua

    He's got thirty pounds (when in shape) on Rocky. Rocky hit very hard for a 190 lb heavyweight. Tua hit very hard for a 220 lb. heavyweight.

    F=MA

    Tua has the bigger mass and probably equal or more acceleration. He had fast hands.

    Thus, the force on his punch is likely greater than that of Marciano.

    I knew some idiot was going to say this. You're the one who bit the hook.

    So how do you explain Golovkin? Does Zuri Lawrence hit harder than Joe Frazier?

    What object is being put into motion? By what outside force?

    But it isn't a certainty that it applies in every case.

    Tony Tubbs was 230 lbs with fast hands, yet I would pick Marciano to have more power on his punch than him. I think punch technique can factor in.

    Still, I would say Tua had more power than Marciano.

    Yes, punch technique is a factor.

    But, F=MA is still a viable physical law that has an impact.

    Tua put his weight in his shots, was 220 lbs and had fast hands. He hit harder than Rocky.

    Punch technique.

    F=MA factors in.

    Of course you have to put your weight behind your shots.

    F_you with your condescending insults.

    You can't honestly say that you think Gassiev, Dorticos, and Kudryashov can't hit as hard as Joshua, Parker, Wilder, or Ortiz. I'd say Wilder definitely hits harder than all of those guys but the rest have near the same power except for Parker who probably hits with the least power out of all of them.

    100 lbs why?

    Let me guess. Unless I'm a 240 lb shw I suffer from "small man syndrome".
