Punching Power P4P (2021 updates)

Example of rounding up (the three are almost identical in psi level), you can include much more boxers that will fit in, but this is an example of psi scores.

• 0.999-P4P: P-40MPH | 0850psi | 165cm | 103lbs; Ricardo Lopez
• 0.998-P4P: P-40MPH | 0850psi | 165cm | 106lbs; Manny Pacquiao
• 0.997-P4P: P-40MPH | 0850psi | 165cm | 108lbs; Naoya Inoue

Any boxer shorter than 165cm, will not be able to exceed 850psi, because they are slower

• 0.95-P4P: P-31MPH | 1100psi | 185cm | 147lbs; Thomas Hearns

Any Heavyweight shorter than 185cm, will not be able exceed 1100psi, because Heavyweights are slower

 

Povetkin is 6'02", despite being taller than Thomas Hearns his psi is still under 1100 psi (because of lower speed), he was able to score clean KOs because of his technical superiority vs a relatively slower-moving target.

In that case one must ask....why do Smaller guys with high psi...stay in lower weights?

The current trend of moving up...is a hint of what is going on.

Ricardo Lopez would have had a perfect record, if he moved up directly to Bantam & cherry-picked undefeated-inexperienced 30-0 Andrian Kaspari for a vacant 122 lbs belt, then move up to 130 and face a blown up 5'04" ATG rematch him at Welter and scores the KO, gets the Ws retires 53-0-0-0 fighting as high as 147, instead he ended up in death-life war vs Rosendo Alvarez at maximum speed.

DKSAB fellas think hey Rosendo Alvarez sucks...he is 112, why Ricardo Lopez couldn't put him away....Pacman made Ricky hatton fly at Welter....DKSAB quasi-coaches think its the roids & start bulking up all their prospects hoping they get the Pacman advantage, their prospects do better as they move up (because they are facing slower-shorter boxers)...Confirmation bias takes over

What this means
Edgar Berlanga psi is higher than Artur Beterbeiv...if the fight is done today, without adding any weight....Edgar will be the first man to KO Artur (easier than KOing the sneaky Ginger), mainly because Edgar doesn't fear Artur and understands psi.

If Artur tries to stand his ground, it will be another KO1 victory, mainly due to Edgar full-weaponization of his higher psi

Any boxer can fully-weaponize their psi. But they will risk getting KOed, that is why its usually plan-b or plan-c for every fighter....fighters who make psi their Plan-A end up mastering punching as a fighting style, giving them the advantage in any future slugfest vs a fighter who is using power as plan-b or plan-c

 

Shavers is an example of a Puncher who used his full-psi potential, his psi is lower than Hearns, but he was physically much tougher than Tommy Hearns which allowed him to get up, get in and deliver maximum psi punch. Human CNS start getting rattled at much lower psi, at 300s range (30s% impact of a 1000 psi) the CNS get buzzed, a bit more and it shutsdown. Few punches land transfer the majority of the psi, but at Heavyweight psi absorption is maximized, because Heavyweights are slower and heavier targets, opposed to the much lighter weights where its very hard to catch the faster boxers and when hit they are not heavy enough to absorb the full psi...taking away psi from the punch. Pretty sure Earnie Shavers was KTFO opponents by instinct, without having to calculate anything, but he was best at Heavyweight. Had he fought at Light Heavyweight or (Super Middleweight today) he would have been less effective than he was at Heavyweight

 

I agree it seems surreal-stupid, but there is an unfair advantage in play here, so I don't blame you or any other doubters

If you are seriously puzzled, you can easily test the theory via direct tests of short Pro-Boxers vs Lighter faster-taller boxers...the result will always be the same, the faster taller boxer will always have a higher psi score, regardless of weight disparity

If you have a personal reason why you are offended by this theory, please accept my apology...as this thread was not intended to bother you...Short stocky boxers can be great punchers, by using precision, physical toughness & other methods to achieve the KO. Raw psi is one path, an important one...

 

Well Sir Bukake a simple look at the numbers, will show the consistent correlation between the scores & height-reach-speed.

Do you see a psi score that seems out of place?

 

Its not psychopathy (hiding a secret) or Lying (making up numbers)...Its sincerely a long process, with lots of rounding up (starting from speed), then lining up Height...then trying various values to see what lands in a consistent range (doesn't produce crazy results), once the correlation is established only speed has to be measured and height is ratio in between Pacman and Wilder as the control values.

If you don't believe that Pacman at 112 hits as hard as Pacman at 147, then that is a good place to start testing....first with simple hydration of the same boxer, see if 10% increases anything.
