Most Damaging Single Punch- Cross or Hook?

The one that lands

 

Probably a ripping left to the body. If you hit that right then it's all over. At close quarters the left to the body and right uppercut are the best.

But to choose from a hook and a right cross... Realy depends on which you are better at executeing. I personally like the right cross more. Snaps the head back/knocks the guy down.

 

Depends on the fighter, really.

 

Indeed. The punch almost no one likes receiving though, is an uppercut. Gravity keeps you from rolling with the punch :hey

 

Those can suck, yes. I think you can brace yourself and kind of absorb it or move with it depending on the angle it's coming in at.

 

Assuming you punch correctly, a hook will always generate more power than a full extension punch. Force equals mass times acceleration (f=ma) but the fist is already starting to decelerate once a full extension punch comes close to the end of its trajectory. The hook is still accelerating.

 

probably a left hook right at the point of the chin. it's hard to see coming, it's at a brutal angle, and a fully torqued left hook can be vicious. at least for the straight right, your neck can act as a shock absorber.

 

I think uppercuts and hooks are the most brutal, cause they come at a an angle outside of the field of vision. If you see the punch coming you can take it better.

 

You have to define "most damagin". You can put a lot more weight behind a cross than with a hook. You can punch a cross faster than a hook(Not with more weight behind). Are you going to "damage" the head, or the body? Saying punching power is 1 variable is BS. Tyson hits hard as hell, so did Foreman, but there's a huge difference in the definition of "hard". You can hit heavy, with a lot of weight behind it, moving rocks. You can hit fast, like any lightweight, but you won't have a lot of weight behind the punch, often not enough for a headshot KO. Or you can make it special made for the place it's going to land, on what opponent and in what purpose etc etc.

Conclusion: Stupid question

 

probably a right, winging hook or looping overhand right for a conventional boxer would generate the most power because the punch is travelling a further distance going across your body. Plus, it was what Drago used to get 2000 psi!

 

Scientificly right cross IMO, right cross was used in that Discovery channel show, messuring how much power generates middleweight (or was it super middleweight) and they came to conlusion that it can kill person instantly.

 

:blood ok? Which discovery channel show was this?
