The best division for one punch KO is heavyweight, First thing...mainly because the slower Heavyweight opponent is more likely to absorb most the psi of the punch making a perfect KO. At Flyweight nobody is out of shape, they are harder to catch with a full impact PSI punch, most the PSI si wasted because they are either moving & when landed clean they are simply too light of a target to absorb the full-psi....

The few exceptions of clean KOs is when they are caught coming in.
A Smart bomb opposed to a MOAB

 

Speed: Not exact but those are estimates...the punch speed will vary, but the punch peaks at the terminal speed,
#1 shorter reach, #2 skinnier arms allow for more speed.

Psi based on Reach~Height x Speed : Reach increases psi on the expense of speed, some long reach punchers fix this by never using their full reach & they end up fighting at short range

Height is primary, with clear restrictions
5'6" can't reach 900 psi
5'9" can't reach 1000 psi
At heavyweight it remains open because most are bulky or lardy, whioch takes away lots of speed potential. Deontay Wilder being the most explosive at 207lbs and his frame, a scaled up version of Deontay Wilder can reach 1500psi which will results in KO victories even when punches don't land clean.

RAW psi vs Effective Delivery
Edgar Berlanga or Thomas Hearns single punch has more psi than Tyson/Tua.

Mike Tyson & Tua did what Any Ruiz did, the only difference is that Andy Ruiz didn't look the part. A 5'10" power-punching boxer who can find a way to land clean can score the KO, most times a good heavyweight can stop the smaller framed boxer using a basic jab, keeping them at bay or stopping them in their tracks.

 

No its not made up, psi is directly correlated with height-reach-speed, its estimates...but not that far off & anybody can measure the speed of a punch, height-reach

 

Its easy to measure the speed of the punch, especially in HQ footage.

Wilder dropping his right hand takes less effort, because he is naturally slim & fast. Wilder punch might start slow and curved, but at the terminal speed its the fastest at Heavyweight (at least from the bigger guys)

Physical strength (as in lifting weights)...in boxing can be used for clinching to exhaust an opponent, doesn't help in punching...

On the contrary...Excess muscle slows down the punch.

Deontay Wilder at 207lbs punched as hard as at 230lbs. He might have lost some stamina as the result of the additional weight.

Hearns at 147 punched as hard as Cruiser & so on

The illusion of Fighters punching harder moving up in weight, is the result of mastering punching. It just happens that most boxers move up weight as they age.

 

Footage, you slow it down frames and measure
