Tyson reflects on his punching power

Thats a little more reasonable, yes.

Like @sauhund II said, Tyson had enough crack to hurt about anybody with one shot. At this point, for me, it doesn´t really matter if you had James Smith or Foreman-like hands. It really comes down to get punches in.

 

Is that a poster who dislikes you?

It isn't worth it honestly, who cares.

If I was Eddie Futch himself you'd dig your heels in at this point with how I have treated you.

In order for you to admit I was right you'd have to admit you are an idiot and be humiliated that really isn't right- I should have treated this more delicately .

Consider this a sincere apology.

 

Someone should check the major knockouts of Foreman, Tyson, Liston and maybe Joe Louis and watch how many punches really connected until the fight was stopped.
Majority of the stoppages occur after more than one punch of course. If I had to bet, I´d say that you had trouble finding a significant difference in "one punch power" for those fighters if someone really did numbers & stats. But you could count the punches and try a hierarchy with that for example, until someone saw the stats and noted Fighter A beeing much more durable than Fighter B ....

 

It was blindingly obvious wasn't it, even after the big goodbye thread.

Foreman's power comes from his forearms ... I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this .... His bone structure is the driving factor behind his power ... Tyson had a very heavy build as well but his power was from his technique and explosiveness

Tysons power has A level power and this is as we all know ... A well known fact

 

Even tallying up one punch KOs & compensating for opponent, chin, stage of career would not necessarily reflect who hits harder.
Those like Tyson who are both more precise & punches are faster than others loading up & slower would have impact.
Tyson anyway is in all likelihood a "9" in raw power-among Professional modern HWs.
A few others like Foreman Liston Tua Ruddock Smith 'roids Morrison Butterbean Wlad & some who never went very far are 10s.

Maybe we can have a thread where everyone uploads their videos of presumed ferocious punching power?
Specifying how heavy the bag is, if sound effects are enhanced-others could post comedic versions.

 

yeah I love those clips.
Imagine if he took long strides & wind ups!
Imagine having to bear up under such shots in the ring!
An ordinary person-or a big strong guy-trying to make an impact on such a dense, heavy bag would be surprised at how little impact they would have!

 

Yeah, I don't think it's controversial to say that Foreman was more of an arm puncher than most big punchers, even though he could certainly punch with leverage as well. When he finished off Lyle it was quite a bit of arm punching going on from memory, but haven't seen it in a long while.

 

That was my point in a thread about Shavers's punching power compared to that of Foreman, that if Foreman winded up the way Shavers did, he'd hit way harder.
